Capturing the excitement and emotion of a proposal is one of the best parts of Austin proposal photography, and Matt & Abby’s special moment along the water was no exception. The stunning backdrop of the lake, paired with the golden-hour glow, made for a truly magical setting. Matt had planned everything perfectly, and Abby’s reaction was priceless.
As we waited for the perfect moment, Matt shared some sweet details about their relationship, which made the session even more personal. When the time came, Matt got down on one knee, and Abby’s face lit up with pure joy. The excitement in the air was undeniable, and it was an honor to capture such a meaningful moment for them. Those candid reactions, from tears of happiness to laughter, are what make this so special.
After the proposal, we spent some time taking a few more portraits along the water. The soft light and the serene backdrop were perfect for highlighting their happiness as a newly engaged couple. Matt & Abby’s natural chemistry made every shot effortless. Their playful moments together reflected the fun and joy of their relationship, creating timeless images they’ll look back on for years to come.
Austin’s waterside locations provide a beautiful and intimate setting for proposals, and this session was a reminder of why I love capturing these moments. Matt & Abby’s love story is just beginning, and I’m so happy to have been a part of it. If you’re thinking about popping the question, consider a proposal session that captures not just the “yes,” but the love and excitement that comes with it.
