Downtown Austin Engagement // Lea and James

What a delightful couple! We had a great time photographing their colorful engagement photos in downtown Austin. You can’t tell from the photos, but it was an incredibly hot summer day! Lea and James kept their cool and were so fun to hang out with.

We started the engagement session in downtown Austin near 6th street. Lea’s red dress and James’ navy shirt complimented each other really well. I especially loved the bold colors against the white brick wall and also with the greenery. Downtown Austin is a great location for urban engagement photos. There’s a huge variety in the buildings, with different background textures and colors. We stopped for a photo at Antone’s, where they will be having their rehearsal dinner. What a fun place for a rehearsal dinner!

For the second location, Lea wore some beautiful gold earrings with a white dress and James wore a plaid blue button up with navy pants. We photographed around the Seaholm Power Plant, which has some cool concrete walls and planters. We ended the shoot around the Pfluger Pedestrian bridge, where there’s a great view of the skyline. The soft downtown lights are a magical backdrop for nighttime photos.

We really enjoyed our time with Lea and James and look forward to their wedding next spring!
