Engagement session

6-7-09 Christina + Matt Engagement /  by Melanie Grizzel






I shot Christina and Matt's Engagement session @ Mayfield Park in Austin, Tx on Sunday. 

It was really funny, in my old life I was used to never meeting my subjects before I shot them but now working in this industry I almost always meet my clients first.
Not these 2, they found me online and were so excited after our chat on the phone they booked me right from the phone call, Sunday was our first face to face. I couldn't be happier, what a pleasure these guys are, so bubbly and happy. 
They met as camp counselors (really) a little over 4 years ago. They spent some time in different states for college. I heard a great story about an airline ticket give-a-way from Wendy's having to do with saved cups, ask them about it, it's pretty sweet. They are MADLY in love and they really have a great time together always cutting up and making the other feel at ease. LOVE THEM. Their wedding is coming up in the fall, I'm excited.
As always there are way more pictures than will fit on the blog so join us on facebook to view the rest. become a fan on facebook at she-n-he photography and design.
We also photographed Toi and Richard's wedding on Saturday @ Green Pastures in Austin. I am working on a collection from the wedding all day today, hopefully I can get those babies blogged by tonight.

We actually shot this engagement shot at Mayfield Park in Austin on Saturday afternoon. But it's been a busy weekend, what with all of the photo assignments and my mother in law in town, I have been working around the clock to process but just got them done now.

We're excited for their wedding in July. 
Congratulations guys. Can't wait to hear comments nudge, nudge, ;) ,  ;)
There are several more on our She-N-He link on Facebook become a fan and have a look.

5-3-09 Nancy + John Engagement /  by Melanie Grizzel






I'd really love to blog about this couple they are super interesting, they've been dating since high school, mostly long distance while Nancy took a scholarship to UCLA for volleyball, now they live here in Austin and are happily engaged until October. But I promised I'd get these up as quick as possible so they can get them for their save the dates. 

They were awesome and patient with the sun as it made it's final decent into the horizon. 
I hope you enjoy.

10-12-08 Jamie + Shaun engagement.

My plan was to put pictures up of the entire 3 days of the Erin and Jason wedding festivities but I changed my mind. I shot the most adorable couple ever, ever on Saturday and decided to take a hiatus from the Lake Tahoe wedding coverage to share these images from Saturday.
These 2 are the couple that everyone wishes they were. Completely mad for each other. Their wedding is in March so I am looking forward to that. As, I'm sure, they are.
Thanks for looking.

We went out and photographed Jessica + Bryan on Monday afternoon, it was a super hot day but we muscled thru and came away with some lovely images. We visited some new haunts in East Austin, though MY gps must have been turned off since I can't even recall where we were. 
Their wedding is coming up next year and I'm super excited, for the party, it sounds like it's going to be a blow out!
Jessica will be debuting her skills as a wedding coordinator for their wedding, so I'll definitely post plenty of detail shots for all of your brides out there on the look out for a great planner.
Thanks for looking and we'll see you soon.

Andrea is a lovely bride to be, who decided to not have a photographer for her wedding until I expressed my concern about the loss of her memories. Sadly her experience and those close to her soured her view of photographers. I think we were able to change her mind. Have a look.
Until next time.
