Mandy & James – austin engagement photography

I love fun engagement sessions!
What is fun you say?  Well- let me explain!  Fun is being goofy, free, happy, in love and cute!   Incidentally all of that is the perfect description of Mandy and James!!    We met on a sunny, beautiful mid afternoon for some photos.  We started the shoot at “Hey Cupcake” on south congress and really- when a shoot start with eating a cupcake- how can it not be a great shoot?!

But this was not just an regular old engagement shoot!  We had a pretty dramatic end to this shoot- but I’ll get to that in a minute. In the meanwhile- check out some of the photos!  Aren’t these two so so cute?

So I go to my car to get a lens and this is what I see when I turn around!  I love cuteness when it’s not posed!

So this is our dramatic finish!
We wanted to get some shots in the middle of congress- I got in position and was ready with the camera.  James picked up Mandy and started running with her crossing the street!  Well- this worked out well at first but things took a drastic turn very quickly and we ended this shoot with a great big fall that included bloody knees and elbows, road rash and a totally ruined pair of jeans!   Exciting stuff!

And then- a few hours after the shoot I get this photo in my inbox!  ouch, indeed!  haha!

Thank you James and Mandy for a really fun shoot and for sacrificing your elbows for some unforgettable shots!  Thank you also for being so funny and generally awesome!  Can’t wait for our next shoot!    Sherry : )

    They are so cute. I love the one of them peeking/kissing over the fence. So cute. Sorry they got injured! But you know what they say, beauty is painful.

    Great session! Loved the pics at the end, especially the expression on her face as she heads to the pavement!
