The Most Joyful Engagement Session


These authentic interactions between Alex and Hunter are giving us all the feels today! I don’t know two people who can make each other laugh and smile more. SERIOUSLY. My process for photographing couples is a combination of giving a starting point and direction coupled with natural interaction and conversation to create genuine emotion. I’m usually focusing on the in-between, transitionary moments. Those are where the gems are at because it’s the most natural and true. These two are so playful and madly in love.


THEY HAVE THAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP THAT JUST BEING AROUND REFRESHES YOUR SOUL


There wasn’t any reservation about expressing their silliness and being their true selves. Their passion for life which is apparent right of the bat and especially so when they look at each other. They made their session even more meaningful by choosing a location very special to them. These incredible trails and the wide open spaces at Houston's quintessential Buffalo Bayou is where they hold many special memories, walking their dog, hand in hand.
