Jessica+Matt: Engaged!

They met in Prague: the bar on 6th street in downtown Austin.  Jessica noticed Matt from across the bar, and found a reason to talk to his buddy.  A thinly veiled disguise at her true intention: get Matt alone.  Matt thought she was into his friend, and passed it off.  As the night went on, their chemistry drew them together, and they shared a kiss in the parking lot.  As Jessica drove away, butterflies still in her stomach, she saw Matt walking down the street.  Fate.  Destiny.  Something stronger than her was telling her to roll down her window and get his number.  Two years later Matt proposed.  I’m honored to be photographing their wedding in December. Despite the heat, we had so much fun shooting their engagement session at Jessica’s family’s land in Driftwood.  

It was three-thousand degrees outside, but I had an amazing time with this couple.  Even though they’re 4 feet taller than I am, we made it work.  Jessica, Matt, I think you’re both amazing.  Jessica; You’re insanely gorgeous. Times infinity.  I’m so lucky to know you both.  Thank you for sharing your love, and your story, with me.


Always Love,
A
