One of my favorite places to shoot an engagement session is the Buddy Holly Hall of Performing Arts and Sciences in Lubbock, Texas. The building’s landscape and architectural design offer endless portrait options.

This was my first time meeting Adelina, and we clicked immediately. I knew Jacob from church and had him in our youth classes for several years. When Jacob reached out to me, I was surprised to learn that he was engaged and planning on getting married. How does time go by so fast?

Meeting someone for the very first time can be a bit intimidating at times, not only for the photographer but also for the client. Adelina was the sweetest, and by the time our session was over, it was like we had known each other for years. Jacob, you made a great choice in finding a life-long friendship and marriage partner.

We started the session at the Buddy Holly Hall of Performing Arts and Sciences and ventured to the downtown area to capture a variety of looks for their gallery. Adelina and Jacob wanted a downtown city vibe, and I believe we created exactly that with this engagement session.

Adelina and Jacob were natural in front of the camera, which made my job super easy to photograph. Our time flew by so quickly for the session. Maybe because half the time was spent laughing together.

Adelina and Jacob, thank you for trusting and choosing me to photograph these sweet memories! This is such a special time in your life. It was truly an honor to be the one to document it for you! Enjoy these favorites from your engagement session! I can not wait to capture your wedding day.
