Mallory and Colin drove all the way from Stephenville for their Zilker Botanical Gardens engagement session in Austin!  More than just juggling their schedules to claim my last available Friday until June, they hung out with me for these photos on Colin’s birthday weekend!  I am so impressed that they changed their schedule on a big weekend for their engagement photos!  It was so worth it because the weather was perfect!

Mallory and Colin laugh so easily together!  They were friends before they started dating and that friendship is evident in their relationship!  It is so important to be friends with your spouse and these two will definitely have that connection!

How pretty is Mallory’s dress?!?  I love the colors on it and that it was a spinning dress!

This waterfall is pretty much a must-have background for any Zilker Botanical Gardens engagement session!  It’s a unique feature that would be hard to find anywhere else in Austin.  One of the reasons Mallory and Colin picked Austin for their engagement photos is because Colin proposed in Austin at the top of Mt. Bonnell!

This next one is my favorite shot from Mallory and Colin’s Zilker Botanical Gardens engagement session!  It’s just a bonus that it’s in the section of the gardens with all the ferns, which Mallory was guessing would be her favorite background.  I think she was right!  It’s just so pretty!

Colin did an absolutely FANTASTIC job picking out Mallory’s engagement ring!!  It’s Stunning!  We had a fun time trying to get this beauty to balance on this ombre flower.

Mallory and Colin, thank you so much for making the drive into Austin for your Zilker Botanical Gardens engagement session!  I had such a blast with y’all on Friday and enjoyed getting to know your story!  If this afternoon was any indicator, your Pecan Springs Ranch wedding is going to be a blast!
