Mark and Maria flew all the way from New York for their engagement session at Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, Texas!  They met at a friend’s party and have been together for almost 10 years!  They’ve spent that time traveling the world together.  On one of their trips, to Hawaii, Mark got down on one knee to ask Maria to be his wife.  She said yes and the two have picked Austin as their destination wedding location!

I love how easily these two laugh together!

Maria’s hair and make-up glam team was Adore!  I love that she opted to have her trial run with her bridal beauty team on her engagement session date!  It’s the best time to see how it will photograph before the big day!

One of their wedding colors will be a soft blue.  This was one of the few plants at Zilker Botanical Gardens that had a hint of blue to it!  I think it worked out well for their engagement ring shot!

With their love of traveling the world, these two went to Greece earlier this year!  If you know my and Dylan’s love story, you’ll know that we met in Greece and will always have a special place in our hearts for that beautiful country!  It was great to hear Mark and Maria chat about their favorite destinations in Greece and see her Grecian dress at their engagement session at Zilker Botanical Gardens!

Mark and Maria – this is one of my favorite photos of y’all! Those smiles are contagious!

Mark and Maria – thank you so much for flying all the way from New York for your engagement session at Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, Texas!  I enjoyed spending the afternoon with y’all and hearing about y’all’s travels!  I’m so excited for y’all’s Fall wedding and can’t wait to celebrate alongside you both!
