I have been DYING to share these photos, and it’s with good reason!!! I had the privilege of capturing Ashley and Ivan’s beautiful anniversary at Lake Conroe, TX over the weekend. A few weeks ago, my good friend and colleague, Ashley reached out to me about photographing her upcoming anniversary. We initially planned to get themed photos at the Fall Pumpkin Patch at P6 farm. The farm was beautiful and we would have gotten plenty of amazing photos there. However, the farm closed off the gate at 5pm and my couple arrived 15 minutes late and were not allowed to come in. Needless to say, from the lemons we were dealt, we made lemonade and quickly decided to go to a nearby lake for some dreamy golden hour photos. The thing about golden hour is that it doesn't last very long, typically about 30 minutes. Thankfully, a good photographer always has a couple of beautiful places in mind as backup options. I took the couple on a quick drive to Lake Conroe where we came across a beautiful dock and some nice rocks across the shore. Our session only lasted 20 minutes before the sun completely faded away into the horizon. Luckily, Ashley and Ivan were so comfortable in front of camera despite them saying otherwise. The couple were fully emerged in the moment and I just fired away with the shutter button.
