Styled Engagement Shoots

Something new we've started doing this year are styled engagement shoots. We love it when details make a photo shoot or a wedding day more unique and personal, and we love shooting in an editorial style, so styled engagement shoots came about naturally for us and are something that we absolutely adore.

Our first styled engagement was Sarah and Andrew's outdoor/fishing themed shoot. For Sarah and Andrew's shoot, we took the time to learn a lot of details about their love story, from when they first started dating all the way to their engagement. One thing that kept coming up in all of their stories was their love for the outdoors. Several consultations, Pinterest boards, and meetings later, we had the shoot planned!

On our styled engagement shoots we work with a stylist to plan the whole event, from hair and makeup ideas, to outfit ideas, to locations, activities, and details. For this shoot, we worked with our former bride, the amazingly creative Katie Hollis out of Austin. Sarah and Andrew kept saying that they really felt like they were out on a date! We love making this special!

Here's a moodboard with images from Sarah and Andrew's styled engagement shoot earlier this summer.

As we said, we loved shooting this in an editorial style. You can imagine how happy we were when we found out this shoot was going to be featured on a national wedding blog for inspiration for other couples.

Since that shoot, our mind is full of ideas for our next styled engagement shoots! Can't wait!
