steven + lauren • engagement • dallas, tx

Knox and I hopped on a plane last week to Dallas so I could shoot my sister and her fiance's engagement session. (The little guy did a pretty good job on the plane, though I now know that any plane-time I experience in the future will be anything but relaxing.) 

I'm used to getting to be around engaged lovebirds all the time, but this time it was my sister, which made my inner over-acheiver go into hyperdrive. "It has to be perfect..."

These two will be getting married at The Majestic Theatre in downtown Dallas, and so we began our shoot there. Steven and Lauren had a vision for a distinctly Mad Men feel, which was really fun. I think they totally pulled it off!

I think they need a giant canvas of this for their casa...

Then we went driving and found a random park where we could get a few images to reflect their hippie/grassroots sides...

Possibly my fave...

We decided to end the night at Bolsa- it was super crowded, so by the time we were seated, it was super dark. But that bruschetta was worth the wait! 

Congrats you guys! Love you so much!

P.S. Thanks to Auntie Em for watching Knox!
