The night Justin proposed didn’t quite go according to plan. He spent hours decorating their room with streamers and banners filled with photos of their life together…with roses and candles and twinkle lights criss-crossing the ceiling…but when Katherine got home that night, she didn’t follow her typical routine.

She wanted to hang out and have a bite to eat and chat about the day and catch up…all the while Justin was going crazy wanting her to head upstairs but not wanting to spoil the surprise…so he waited as patiently as possible.

Finally, with the nagging feeling that something was going on, Katherine headed upstairs and opened the door that would change everything.

Suddenly everything made sense and Katherine and Justin took a beautiful step into their forever!

Last month, we spent a few hours wandering around downtown Austin and talking about their big day…what they’re most excited about and all the personal details that will make it so special…and dancing in puddles of sunlight before watching the sun set over the lake.

I’m so excited to capture this part of their story…
