As spring approaches, I find myself looking back on this session from last March with Asun and Robert. They met me for a sunset engagement session at Murrell Park in Lake Grapevine, just before sunset.

We started our session as the sun began to set over the lake. The warm golden light cast a beautiful glow over everything, and the stunning views of the lake and surrounding landscape created a breathtaking backdrop for the couple's images.

If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, find one that doesn’t mind getting rained out! I have been rained out twice at Sky Creek Ranch, in Keller, TX and I don’t mind one single bit! Photographing indoors allows me to have much more control over the final results. I am definitely a control freak when it comes to light and this bridal portrait session is a great example of that!

I love a good bridal portrait! Especially at a gorgeous wedding venue like the Windsor at Hebron Park. In my opinion, the venue is always the best option for the bridal portraits. Its a great way to fully utilize your venue for photos! There are so many spaces and great photo spots that are just not accessible for portraits on the wedding day.
