Before the day of Sarah and Chris’ engagement session we had only ever communicated over e-mail and Skype, so it was such a treat to be able to spend an afternoon with these two amazing Houston-ites making some photos I’m really proud of.

The location hunt started when Sarah and Chris told me their vision for their engagement session was embodied in The Civil Wars new music video “The One That Got Away.” I cannot tell y’all how inspiring it is to brainstorm for a session with a specific vision. I was talking with my uncle James about the shoot and all my location hopes for it and he casually mentions that he has access to the historical building across from his flower shop, Scott’s Flowers, in downtown Stephenville. The next day he casually texts me some photos of the inside of the building at which point I casually FREAK OUT and send all the photos to Sarah and Chris because THIS PLACE WAS PERFECT FOR THEIR VISION. It’s so sweet to have an attentive, caring uncle with awesome connections.

Enjoy some of my favorites from Sarah and Chris’ Stephenville engagement session.

Yeah, girl.

Yeah, boy.

Sarah and Chris, thank you. For being awesome. For coming to me with a vision. And for trusting me to carry it out.

I’m pretty pumped for your Houston wedding coming up in February.
