Commons Ford Ranch | Austin Elopement Session

This fun elopement session was shot on a very overcast and somewhat drizzly day at Commons Ford Ranch. We almost cancelled the shoot and I’m soooooo glad we didn’t because it turned out awesome! Covid has brought the good the bad and the ugly but one new trend is smaller more intimate weddings or eloping with just the two of you. Austin has become a major hub for elopements and I’m not mad about it. These smaller more intimate weddings and elopements are by far my favorite. It takes the stress away from all the details and puts the focus on you and your love story. I can’t get enough of the pictures in the back of their Jeep with there puppy :).

Austin Engagement Session | Morgan + Fred

These two met while working at the popular East Austin restaurant Kemuri Tatsuya. Even though it’s changed over the years, their affection for the place that started it all has not. So they wanted to have their session be outside the restaurant and it turned out amazing!

Couples Photographer Austin | Kat & Chris

Kat is an amazingly talented photographer. We used to spend many hours at Cherrywood Coffeehouse editing, working remotely and eating all the french fries. It’s been a while since I’ve hung out with her because kids and life and all that jazz so I was super excited when she contacted me about taking pictures for her and Chris!
