Lady Bird Lake engagement of Nicole and Derek was one of those sessions that reminds us why we love being photographers in Austin. This spot is perfect for couples who adore natural beauty and city charm. With calm waters reflecting the skyline and trails lined with tall trees, it offers endless opportunities for creativity. We love how every engagement here feels different depending on the light and the season. The energy of the city mixes beautifully with the peace of the lake, creating a romantic balance that every engagement photographer appreciates.
Nicole and Derek’s story is sweet and genuine. They met in November 2022 at Pinthouse Pizza on Burnet after chatting for a few weeks on Hinge. Their shared love for live music, good food, and spending time outdoors quickly brought them closer. Whether they’re exploring new breweries, enjoying Austin’s lakes on their boat, or spending time with their dog Lila, their connection shines through in everything they do. Their bond made this outdoor engagement session feel natural and full of joy. Capturing couples like them is exactly why we love doing engagement photography.
At Original Weddings, we’re passionate about highlighting real love stories in meaningful ways. Our team enjoys photographing engagements all across Austin and throughout Texas. Lady Bird Lake offers one of the most stunning backdrops for couples who love the outdoors, but we also travel to nearby spots like Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Georgetown. We believe engagement photography should feel effortless and fun, just like the relationship itself. Each session is a chance to celebrate a couple’s story, their laughter, and the way they naturally fit together.
We specialize in creating timeless images that couples can treasure for years. Our professional engagement photographers know how to capture those authentic emotions that happen in between poses the little glances, smiles, and soft moments that say everything. Whether the session happens under golden sunset light or by the shimmering lake water, our goal is always to tell your story in a genuine, artistic way.
We offer a variety of packages designed to fit every couple’s needs and vision.
