Alix and Nathan | Downtown Amarillo Engagement Pictures in the Spring

When it comes to engagement photography sessions, there are few places that can match the charm and character of downtown Amarillo, Texas. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Alix and Nathan in this vibrant city, and we had so much fun together!

We started the session by exploring the downtown area, taking advantage of the beautiful architecture and lively atmosphere. The couple was dressed impeccably, with Nathan in a classic suit and Alix in a stunning dress that perfectly complemented the downtown vibes.

As we moved through the streets, we captured a variety of candid and posed shots, each one showcasing the couple's love and affection for each other. From playful moments to intimate embraces, the images captured the joy and excitement of this special time in their lives.

Overall, the session was a perfect blend of fun and class, with their personalities shining through in every shot. It was a privilege to be part of this experience, and I can’t wait for their summer wedding in Amarillo!

Logan + Sydney | Springtime Engagement Pictures in Downtown Amarillo, Texas

Have you ever seen such an adorable couple!? These two dressed up so perfectly for their engagement photos in downtown Amarillo. He wore a classic blazer that complimented her sleek, white dress so wonderfully. We explored downtown for a little bit and even snuck up to the Barfield Hotel’s balcony for some gorgeous shots with the Amarillo skyline in the background.

Then, they changed to more casual and fun outfits and I suggested we drive to another location nearby that I had scouted the day before. It worked out so well because we had the best springtime day along with the blooming trees in the background. They were so natural together for the whole engagement session, but I feel like Sydney and Logan really came alive at that point!

I can’t wait for their wedding at the Resplendent Garden in Amarillo this summer!

Alexis and Ben | Amarillo, Texas Engagement Pictures at the Barfield Hotel and Palo Duro Canyon

We started this engagement photography session at the amazing Barfield Hotel in Amarillo, Texas. This was Alexis and Ben’s idea and I absolutely loved it! It has the prettiest Art Deco vibes that I am totally in love with. After exploring the hotel and then a little bit of Downtown Amarillo, we headed out to Palo Duro Canyon for some more fun, casual pictures. Alexis and Ben are going to be getting ready at the Barfield for their wedding later this fall and then getting married across the street at the Amarillo Club. I can’t wait!

Les + Lisa | Engagement Pictures in River Falls

Whenever I get the chance to take pictures at River Falls, you can bet I’m excited! It’s a rare treat. Lisa and Les have friends that live there so they were able to take us around in their truck. We started at Devil’s Kitchen - one of the coolest rock formations in the Texas Panhandle. If you look past the name, it’s quite the romantic spot. Lisa and Les were ready to have fun, enjoy the moments, and capture their love.

Darin + Kristen | Engagement Pictures in Palo Duro Canyon

I could not have been blessed with a better couple to take pictures of for my first time back in Amarillo, Texas! And we got to go to Palo Duro Canyon! It was literally the perfect evening. Here’s what I love about these two: they clearly love having fun together and they don’t always take everything seriously! But on the flip side, they aren’t afraid to get super romantic. They are going to have an intimate backyard wedding this fall and it is going to be breathtaking, I’m sure of it.

When the stars align for a perfect photo session: adorable couple, perfectly sunny day (in January!), and beautiful locations. Sydney and Caden started out their engagement photos in downtown Amarillo, which is one of my favorite places to shoot in the winter and then we headed to Palo Duro Canyon where we were blessed with very little wind. If you’re from here you know that’s a miracle. These two are so natural together and their wedding in Taos, New Mexico this August is sure to be off-the-charts amazing.

Kyler + Talyn | Vibrant Engagement Photos in Palo Duro Canyon

When you’re pretty sure your clients are actually professional models….

That’s definitely how I felt while taking pictures of Kyler and Talyn. They were so natural together. After I posed them and told them what to do, they would just relax and be in the moment. Relaxation and naturalness vs. stiffness TOTALLY shows up in photos and I can do my best to make people feel comfortable but my clients have to meet me halfway. It matters a lot. Kyler and Talyn were amazing at this. They simply had fun and didn’t worry that there was a camera in front of them. That’s the only way to get great photos.
