What an afternoon I had with Christina and Adrian! They flew in from El Paso for their Austin Engagement Session and we decided to do their session downtown. It’s a funny thing when I’m sitting by myself waiting for a client I’ve never met. I was sitting on a bench right off 5th street and people watching and wondering what my clients were going to be like in person.

As I’m waiting I hear the sweetest voice, “Mariah?” I turn and there she is – Christina! After months of planning this shoot and their wedding later this month, it was so awesome to put a face to the name and voice. Poor Adrian did circles and finally found parking.

There are a few things you should know about Christina and Adrian:

• Christina has amazing taste in clothes and shoes
• Adrian is obviously very smitten by his fiancee
• Watching them together is amazingly sweet
• They are incredibly fun to be around
• They are a photographers dream and were good with any suggestions I had

Our first part of the shoot was in downtown Austin.

And then we headed to the UT Campus for more fun. While we were waiting for a car to pull out of a stall, another car backed right into Christina & Adrian! I am so thankful that nobody was hurt. We had to wait for quite some time while paperwork was exchanged and we kept thinking, “Gosh I hope we don’t lose this amazing light!” – but it ended up being a gorgeous evening and the light stuck around long enough for us to get some amazing images around UT.

Christina and Adrian, Peter and I are so excited to fly out to El Paso later this month to capture your wedding!!
