Sophia and Josh’s engagement session felt like wandering through chapters of their love story. We started at the University of Texas campus where they first met, stopped at the coffee shop that held their very first date, slipped up to a rooftop overlooking the Austin skyline, and ended the evening at the pub where they spend weekends with friends, watching games and playing pool. Their pups joined in, because of course they’re part of the story too.

UT Austin Engagement Photos

There’s something tender about walking the paths of where it all began. On campus, we let their dogs lead the way, chasing shade under the oak trees and pausing on the steps that still hold their history. These photos are about more than pretty backdrops — they’re touchstones of the life they’ve built together.

Rooftop Engagement Session with Skyline Views

The rooftop skyline gave us Austin in all its glow — the city stretched out behind them, the air buzzing with possibility. These photos are bold and intimate all at once, a reminder that your love can feel both grounded and limitless.

Coffee Shop & Pub Engagement Photos

We ended the session exactly how they spend most Saturdays: coffee, laughter, and a little friendly competition over pool at their favorite pub. These are the places where their love feels the most like home — and those are the places I love to photograph.

When you’re planning your own engagement session in Austin, start with the places that matter to you. Your story doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s — it should feel like yours. That’s how photos move beyond posed portraits and into something honest, lived-in, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for downtown Austin engagement photography that leans into connection, comfort, and artistry, I’d love to help tell your story.
