Great weather.  Wonderful fun couple.  Two addorable pups.  What more can you ask for?

Introducing Stephanie and Derek and Rocket and Naya.  Photographed their engagement session in preparation for their October wedding in Austin (can’t wait as it is at the incredible Barr Mansion!) and some “save the date” cards.

After a bit of time with Rocket and Naya, we ventured off to a few other spots - though I have to admit that we kind of missed them!

I could tell that Stephanie and Derek have a great relationship.  You can see the love when they look at each other - and the way the talk and joke.  I also think that they had been reading up on fashion magazines (or watching Zoolander) as they were hitting all the poses!

I finally had a chance to photograph by this converted movie theater…

…which just happened to have a great “romance” poster!

Finally, I have to go for the bright, deep colors.  I can’t help it!
