We must be in the good graces of the forecast in Houston lately. There is something about spring, new growth, and warm days that are still a little bit cool and breezy that make for the best days of the year. On the first Sunday of April, the flowers were showing off at Mercer Botanic Gardens. Lindsay’s little gardener heart was full of excitement for Jessica and Patrick’s engagement session.

Patrick let us know he had made sure to be the “good” fiancé and not show up with a golf sunburn with a big sunglasses tan line, and the two boys quickly hit it off right off the bat. (Brandon was sporting his own sunglasses sunburn line). We could tell right away that these images would be ones that Jessica and Patrick would look back on over the year as cherished moments. Even Jessica was a little teary when Lindsay would show her a few images from our cameras! All in all, the session was a breeze both literally as some nice gusts of wind gave us all a break from the sun — and as Jessica & Patrick went from nervous about taking photos to feeling as confident and comfortable as a person can be in front of a camera. At least we think they looked that way!

J&P, we sincerely loved our time together. We feel like we have become fast friends with you both and can’t wait to celebrate your wedding in November! Anniversary buddies! Thank you for letting us capture some of the most precious moments in this season of life.

On to the wedding!

– Brandon & Lindsay
