A couple of weeks ago, I was in warm and (somewhat sunny) Texas to capture Katie & Nick’s downtown Houston engagement photos! These two live here in Houston, but they are getting married in Katie’s home state of Maryland later this year… and trust me when I say, there are going to be SO many unique and amazing elements to their wedding day between both of their heritages and their story! I’m so glad I got to photograph Katie and Nick where they live now to really capture this season of their lives… they will have so many photos to look back on and remember this day in particular by!
Downtown Houston Engagement Photos
Katie and I instantly connected when she told me Nick proposed to her in Ireland. Justin and I had a destination engagement too, and something about that just feels like you’re starting your marriage off with a fairytale! I loved hearing how Nick managed to surprise Katie at castle ruins shortly after they arrived in the beautiful country of Ireland. Katie is Irish herself, so it was special in more ways than one!
These two just exude warmth, kindness, and hospitality. I loved my shoot with them so much that I ran over my normal shooting time (whoops!), and I was thrilled when they invited me over for dinner later that night! We had plenty of paella and sauvignon blanc and I loved every second… so much so that dinner ran until 10:30pm. Whoops (again)! I’m glad I got to spend so much time with them while I was in their city!!
We photographed their Houston engagement session at both Hermann Park (including Centennial Gardens and the outside of the Science Museum!) and Eleanor Tinsley Park, which had a gorgeous view of the skyline. Houston is so different from DC and I love seeing that in these photos. The plants, the trees, the flowers (roses blooming in the beginning of February?!), and even the soft, warm light are all elements I usually don’t get to work with! We truly had the PERFECT day for an engagement session and I took so many photos to prove it!
Katie and Nick, thank you so much for having me come to Houston for your shoot! I loved spending this day with you and I can’t wait for your wedding to get here!! Hope you LOVE every single one of these photos!!
