Mandy and Chris were set up by a mutual friend after she moved to Texas (from New York) for a job.  When Mandy first saw a photo of Chris, her initial reaction was that he was way too young and said “no thanks.”  Later, when they were both out with friends, Mandy met Chris in person and thought “why couldn’t they set me up with him?”  When she found out that WAS who they were trying to set her up with, she realized that the photo she had seen was an older photo of him.  They went out on their first official date 3 days later.

Oh, Mandy!!  You’re stunning!  That shirt really brought out your blue eyes!

When it came time to propose, Chris and Mandy were on a trip to Nashville.   They were celebrating their two year dating anniversary.  While they were there, Nashville was covered in white!  Chris gets bonus points for getting down on one knee to pop the question in the SNOW!

All of the images by the pond are my favorites from their session!  The light was just perfectly glowy!!

I’ll end with this next photo, as it was a special request by Chris.  He said he wanted a photo of the two of them overlooking the pond, as he could imagine the two of them one day, when they’re much older, sitting side by side overlooking a beautiful lake somewhere.  AWWWW!! I just ADORE that he can see himself growing old with Mandy by his side.

Chris and Mandy, thank you SO MUCH for making the drive in from Dallas for your engagement photos at Pecan Springs Ranch!  I know it wasn’t an easy weekend with the UT vs. OU game AND ACL in town, so I’m impressed that y’all were willing to fight traffic just to get some beautiful images!  It totally paid off because the weather could not have been any better that afternoon!  I’m hoping that the weather is just as gorgeous for your wedding next March!   Can’t wait!
