Keira is a wonderful photographer that blew us away with our non-traditional renaissance engagement photoshoot. I will let her photos below speak to how amazing she is. Book her. She is the best, and I loved every moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do engagement photos cost in Austin?

Most Austin engagement sessions run between $350 and $1,200, depending on session length, location, and how many edited images you want. My couples and engagement packages start with a one-hour session and professionally edited digital images.

When should we book our engagement photos?

Most couples book their engagement session 6 to 9 months before the wedding, so the photos are ready for save-the-dates and the wedding website. There's no wrong time, though: anniversary and just-because couples sessions are just as worth doing.

How long does it take to get engagement photos back?

You'll see sneak peeks within 48 hours and your full edited gallery within about a week, delivered online in high resolution with download and print rights.

Do you photograph surprise proposals in Austin?

Yes, proposal shoots are one of my favorites. I'll hide in plain sight, catch the moment you pop the question, and we can roll straight into a few couples portraits while you're both still glowing.
