RAINEY & ANDREW | A DOWNTOWN HOUSTON ENGAGEMENT

raineyandrew-229RAINEY & ANDREW | A COLORFUL & ROMANTIC ENGAGEMENT | HOUSTON, TEXAS

A coffee shop, colorful blocks, gorgeous tree-lined sidewalks, leafy green walls, and the most beautiful columns and arches… Houston, you were a dream! Do you recall Andrew and Rainey’s amazing waterside proposal (click HERE) on the dock that I photographed in December? They invited me back to take their engagement photos in Houston!! It was fun to come back and visit friends and then take a little adventure around downtown to shoot their engagement photos!

When I arrived in Texas, Rainey mentioned she really had no idea where she wanted to take pictures… and since I’ve actually never been to downtown Houston… a little search on Instagram and we found some INCREDIBLE locations to start off with! Andrew chauffeured all of us around downtown and we wandered around the city for the afternoon!

Rainey had the most adorable idea to take photos at The Honeymoon Cafe!! I am in LOVE with these photos! We told the barista about our plan for the shoot and he was kind enough to give us “the good mugs” as long as we promised to bring them back! Later when I showed him the photo, he had a smile on his face!
