How fun are these pictures?
Ryan and Julie are two fun people, so it only makes sense that we’d visit a lot of cool places and have a great time while shooting their engagement pictures. It was awesome to get to know Ryan and Julie better, and I got to see a lot of Austin that I hadn’t seen before. It would have been hard to recommend places to go for good “Austin-esque” pictures since I’m so new to town, but Julie knew all the spots. This was definitely an Austin-inspired photo shoot. She had a lot more good ideas too, but there was just no way we could fit them all into one afternoon. You can see more photos in my Facebook album here – Ryan & Julie. Congrats to both of you!
The plan was to post another Chicago picture, complete the “Chicago Beauty” series, and then move on to a sneak peek of the engagement photo shoot I had this past weekend with my friends Ryan and Julie. But after looking through the pictures last night, I couldn’t help myself. I edited a several of my favorites and decided that I JUST HAD TO POST two of them.
Ryan, Julie, and I spent this past Sunday afternoon visiting several locations around Austin to take their engagement photos. Both of the below images were taken on S. Congress Ave, which is one of the more “unique” areas of the city. The whole afternoon was a blast – I hope they enjoyed their time as much as I did. Keep an eye out for more pictures in the future. Congratulations, Ryan & Julie!
Since I made everyone wait so long for this second installment of Chicago Beauty, I’ll give you two for the price of one. The previous post in this series describes my intention for posting these images. The sky was a wonderful painting of many colors that evening, and I couldn’t have been in a better location to observe it. I’ll have another couple images coming your way in tomorrow night’s post. And I promise to actually post them tomorrow night. In the mean time, enjoy these images, leave a comment, and share with others using Facebook and Twitter!
