Caroline and Lee are are just the sweetest couple!  Lee is from Britain and Caroline is from Australia.  They met in Houston while working at the same company.  They have been planning a destination wedding at the amazing Nature’s Point here in Austin for this April.  A week after their wedding, they are moving to Australia!  What a whirlwind!  They weren’t quite sure if they wanted to do engagements pictures.  I told them it was a great way me to build rapport with them, so they will be even more comfortable on the wedding day.  Here is what Caroline had to say after seeing the pictures:

“We are absolutely thrilled with the pictures.  I (Caroline!!!) had a little cry when I saw them as I was just so happy.  Thank you so much!  Already our families are trying to decide which images they want.”

“Thank you for making the afternoon so enjoyable, we really did have a good time.  It was great to spend a bit of time with you and to get to know you a little better.”

I think she was happy I suggested they do an engagement :-)

Melissa is getting married in a month to the day at the Bella Notte in Round Round. We had a great time shooting in Round Rock and at the Capitol.   And don’t worry, Chris didn’t see these before the wedding.  I retroactively posted this after the wedding!
