Hillary and Nick have been together for four years.  Their first date included queso and margaritas.  Nick proposed to Hillary on Christmas Day while they were on a walk with their dogs.  His favorite present that year was when she answered yes!  The two will get married in the Spring and host their wedding reception at Pecan Springs Ranch in Austin, Texas.  That’s exactly where we went for their engagement photos.  I think this can be a great idea for couples who want to get a better feel for their venue before the big day!

One of the perks of taking their engagement photos at their Austin wedding venue is that we had all this beautiful Texas Hill Country all to ourselves!  If you’re planning your engagement session and are still deciding on a location, consider your wedding venue!  We’ll likely have zero photo-bombers in the background of your images and you probably love the location already.  If you love it enough to invite all your friends and family there for a celebration, you’ll likely love It for your engagement photos, too!  This Is also a great time for you to find all of those wonderful hidden spots you might want to shoot at on the special day!  

This next image is one of my favorites from Nick and Hillary’s Pecan Springs Ranch engagement photos!  Nick said he had an idea he wanted to try and then proceeded to wrap his jacket around Hillary.  It was so cute and photographed so romantically! Don’t you love it?!?!

Nick and Hillary – thank you so much for meeting me at Pecan Springs Ranch for your engagement session!  I had so much fun exploring your wedding venue with y’all and documenting this season of engagement with y’all!
