Literally, I mean, and figuratively – Liz and Brian are too cool and hot for Texas. Unless you’ve been napping under a rock or busy following Kim K’s Un-Royal Wedding {did I just give away my celebrity gossip know how??} you, too, have been dying for cool in any shape or form in these parts all June, July, August and September long. As luck would have it, a cold front {read: high 80’s} came through and brought on pleasing lighting and strong 3mph winds for a fun-filled engagement session.

Liz and I had been exchanging emails for a about a week or two leading up to the shoot, carefully planning location and wardrobe, so when we met in the hotel lobby I greeted her with a big, unabashed hug. We began shooting almost immediately and as evidenced by the stunning photos below she was a natural in front of my camera. Sometimes grooms need guidance on posing, smiling, and relaxing the face more than brides do. Such was not the case with Brian. He was easy going and laid back. It was quite evident he was comfortable with a camera document their love story while he naturally doted on his beautiful fiance.

Thank you Liz and Brian for the opportunity and for taking the time from your graduate studies to let me do what I love!

xo, Z
