David and Shannon's Engagement

This afternoon we had an extended engagement session in Richardson with a newly engaged couple, Shannon and David. We were blessed with 65 degree weather in mid-December; one of the plus sides of living in Texas! We started in the Galatyn Park area next to the Eisemann center.

Meet David and Shannon:


I forgot to mention, the two brought a friend! Shannon's dog, Casanova, came along for the shoot:

Next we took a lunch break at Cafe Brazil, which was nice enough to allow dogs on their beautiful patio:


Cafe Brazil is known for their variety of beverage choices. Shannon sampled an almond latte and then shared some with David:


Next we went down the street to another location. Shannon and David share a kiss:


and then pause to admire the water while Casanova sniffs around:


It's winter, but in some places Texas is still displaying beautiful fall color. This tree was a beautiful example:


The couple poses on either side of a revolving door:


and then "family portrait" time with Casanova:


The sky had some beautiful cloud patterns today, as you can see in this photo:


then, right before we left, we were inspired to try a 101 Dalmatians-esque leash wrap around:


Shannon and David were a lot of fun to work with, and we look forward to Shannon's bridal and then their wedding in July! We also loved the opportunity to work with Casanova! Dogs are fun to shoot, and we're always open to photographing the entire family!
