Ya know what I love? I love it when clients love color and character and ESPECIALLY when they aren't afraid to get personal. In fact, I love it when they are EXCITED to get personal. That would be these two kids. Meet Gina + Jason. They live in Austin and are two of my favorite clients yet.
We met down on South 1st for some true Austin flavah. Yeah, we hit up a few of the classic South 1st haunts, but instead of going for the obvious, we worked around them and came up with something even better. (Like in this first image, most photographers take their clients to this wall for the Austin sign. However, I was obsessed with the doors and made them mine.)
Then, it got real. Jason told me about the place where he and Gina had their first date---Eastside Cafe. Apparently Gina out-lunched Jason, and he was hella impressed. (HOW ON EARTH DID SHE EAT MORE THAN HIM? She's freaking TINY! Hollow leg, I suppose.) We scooted over to the East Side and hung out with some chickens.
Then, it got really, really personal. And...there was hiking. Big day for me, people. The sweet couple took me to the 360 Bridge atop a cliff where Jason proposed to Gina. They told me the story of how their loved ones surrounded them that day atop the cliff, and my heart literally skipped a beat. I feel so privileged to have witnessed the exact spot where they got engaged!
Thanks, G + J, for a fabulous engagement session. It was a ton of fun, and I can't wait to see you guys again!
