Emily + Will

Laguna Gloria Engagement Session, Austin Texas

If you’re on the hunt for an Austin engagement session location that checks the lush, romantic, timeless boxes, let me save you some scrolling: Laguna Gloria (check, check, check!). When Emily and Will told me they wanted greenery, romance, and something that felt simple and candid (not stiff, not overly posed), I knew exactly where to take them. The grounds are a dream for engagement photos in Austin, Texas, with leafy corners, winding paths, and European-style architecture that makes you forget you’re a few minutes from downtown. Bonus: the grounds are well kept so no need to fear brown grass. We spent an hour wandering the property, and honestly, we could have kept going.

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes on how I run an engagement session. We start simple with a classic portrait to get everyone comfortable (yes, even the “I hate being in front of a camera” crowd). Then I sprinkle in intentional candids, the laughing, the forehead kisses, the whispered inside jokes, and as we move around the grounds I layer in a little more prompting and posing for some editorial polish. That mix is the secret: you get the in-between moments that feel like you, plus a few frames with some serious class. A perfect fit for Emily and Will, and maybe you too?
