One of her favorite places to be is Barnes & Noble.  They are both HUGE fans of everything Harry Potter.  Knowing this about his girlfriend (at the time), Kristyne, Austin took her there after a breakfast date.  He pointed out the Harry Potter book spotted on the shelf.  When she picked it up, she found a cut out on “The Unbreakable Vow” chapter in the shape of a heart.  Inside the heart was an engagement ring.  Her engagement ring.

This is the book that propelled their courtship into an engagement.  The question was popped in this section of the bookstore, as well, so it only seemed fitting to have their engagement photos shot here. 

With their Hogwarts house shirts on display, they brought out their wands for a little bit of fun and magic, in true Harry Potter fan style!

We left Barnes and Noble for some outdoor engagement photos at a nearby park.  The high on Wednesday, when we shot their Round Rock engagement photos, was 101 degrees!  WHEW!  These two rocked it out anyway, despite the Texas heat!

Austin requested a silhouette shot of the two of them, so I hope this is what he had in mind! 

I captured this next image just before a gust of wind knocked over their brand-spankin’ new sign with their wedding date.  :(  They were both super sweet about it and said it made the wood look more “authentic.”  Again, I’m so sorry about the scratches and dings in your new sign, Kristyne & Austin.  

Kristyne and Austin, thank you so much for hanging out with me on Wednesday and for bringing so much joy to your session!  I love that y’all brought your passion for Harry Potter to life in your images, to showcase your personalities!  I can’t wait for your big day!
