Austin Engagement Session: Christina and Rene

Engagements

Christina and Rene’s Austin engagement session was a blast! And who knew that it would all stem from a random trip to Las Vegas with mutual friends?!

Meet-Cute

Anyone else obsessed with the movie, The Holiday? If so, or if you’re familiar with movie/tv lingo, you might recognize the above title “meet-cute.” If not, this simply means, “a charming first encounter between two characters that leads to the development of a romantic relationship between them.”

In Christina and Rene’s case, their meet-cute was at an airport. They were with mutual friends, about to board a flight to Las Vegas, when they were introduced. Needless to say, there were sparks …

Will You Marry Me?

This beautiful couple’s love came to a full circle when …

They made another trip to Last Vegas. Rene had a surprise waiting for Christina in their hotel room: a trail of rose petals leading to their bed. On the bed, the petals spelled out, “will you marry me?” It was such a sweet and romantic gesture and definitely caught Christina by surprise. But there was no hesitation. The answer was “YES!”

Austin Engagement Session

With only two months until their wedding day, we squeezed in their Austin engagement session. I had known that these two were my kind of couple based on our initial consultation but when I saw Christina walk up wearing a bright pink shirt, it was definitely meant to be! I love anything bright and bold!!

And the rest of the session just flowed. We had so much fun walking around the Long Center and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. It was a bit on the hot side, being June and all, but they were just having fun being together! I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

And just how amazing are these two:
