Maris and Michael were my first couple to book a wedding with me in Dripping Springs after I moved here. I was SO excited to partner with such a great couple as their photographer.

We began their engagement session with their dog, Rhett, at McKinney Falls State Park. I have had it on my list of places to visit, but was SO impressed with how amazing it was once we got there. It had a cliff with a rushing waterfall and a large pool where everyone was floating around and jumping off the cliffs. You would never know that there were about 40 people in swimsuits walking around us at this location.

After McKinney Falls we went down to Rainey Street where these two met and we walked around as they told me of all of the cute bars and hangout spots that I needed to visit. So many were still shut down because of COVID, but I’ll be excited to go back when more of them are open.

Our final destination was the Long Center. We were driving around trying to find parking and the light kept fading more and more. Finally we nailed two parking spots at the front of the building and ran to the top of the concrete area to get those amazing skyline views of downtown Austin.

And of course we got to play with the nautical twilight period and try some new silhouettes that included the ambient light from the Long Center!

Thank yall for hiring me to photograph your engagement session! I can’t wait for the wedding next fall!
