Ever meet someone for the first time, but you’ve been told so much about them and they’ve been told so much about you that it’s less “nice to meet you” and more “nice to see you”? That was me and Marli (and technically Lucas too).

Marli and Colton work together as environmental scientists, so I knew Marli was cool with roughing it a bit, granted her work outfits do not entail formal gowns and heels.

Her and Lucas were so easy to photograph; it’s a delight working with couples who just enjoy each other. All I had to do was place them in a beautiful spot with lovely lighting and let them be, happy to just stand next to one another.

The Airfield Falls in Fort Worth was a perfect backdrop for their engagement photos, and their outfits add the right touch of glam. All my couples receive a style guide, and when I saw them in their first outfit, I was SO proud.

I can’t wait to see what they plan for their summer wedding, Marli has a great style—check out her engagement ring from Midwinter Co. featuring a celestial diamond. But most of all, after spending time with them, I know they’re going to have a beautiful marriage.

And now, enjoy their gorgeous engagement session!
