Adventure Engagement

Haley and Hunter Engagement

November 12, 2018 by Josh Baker

We love to create engagement sessions that match our couple’s lifestyle. Haley and Hunter love the outdoors and are both sportsmen. We headed to a friends farm out near Little River for some outdoor sportsman engagement photos.

Outdoor Sportsman Engagement

Things kicked off with a little fishin’. Haley hooked a bass right off.

Hunter, very thoughtfully we thought, made sure to only catch a tiny bass. I’m sure he just didn’t want to overshadow Haley’s catch.

Fishing complete, our outdoor couple headed back to base camp and changed for the second half of their engagement session.

Getting Prettied Up

The bard wire contrasts with the beauty of Haley’s engagement ring. I liked how the rust and light blue of the corrugated sheet metal wall behind the ring complimented the ring. The barbed wire seemed fitting for this outdoor couple. Their friends farm had interesting hills, and erosion features.

Haley put on a beautiful flowing copper colored dress and Hunter went with the class: jeans, boots and a button down shirt. The rolling hills of eastern-central Texas, the fall colors and their outfits all go perfectly together.

Josh loves a good adventure and some of his favorite wedding and engagement shoots have involved “getting crazy” or going somewhere special to the couple.

Josh is a Texas native and long time Pflugerville resident. He started his photography business in 2009 and has never looked back. His photo business even allowed him to be daddy-day-care before his two sons reached school age. Over the years his business has expanded to include just about every type of photography including automotive, editorial portraits, corporate events, sports and food. Through it all, he has continued to love wedding photography for genuine moment, the fast pace and the diversity of subjects it offers.

Adventure Engagements of Sarah and Cliff – Enchanted Rock

February 14, 2018 by Andrew Fritz

Sarah and Cliff both share a love for adventure, the outdoors, hiking, and exploring.  So of course it made perfect sense to venture out to Enchanted Rock for their adventure engagement.  

For anyone who hasn’t taken the beautiful drive to Fredericksburg to visit Enchanted Rock, I suggest you do.  There are plenty of activities to do for any outdoor enthusiast.  The scenery is lovely, including a massive pink granite dome rising above everything.  Enchanted Rock Park has 11 miles of trails, ranging from easy to extremely difficult.

As you can see the terrain isn’t a simple walk in the park, you get your exercise in for sure.  Now imagine having to carry a 100 pounds of camera equipment and lights?  Team Blue loves adventure, and don’t mind putting sweat and tears into your perfect adventure engagement session.  We love the challenge!

The view’s are breath taking, and well worth the hike up.  The sunsets are magical and full of color.

 

We love taking astro-portraits, and never miss a chance to do so.  With the City miles and miles away, the sky is blanketed with bright stars.

 

 

Have an idea for your engagement session?  We’d love to hear them!

Chris and Samantha’s Soaked Engagement Shoot

July 25, 2017 by Andrew Fritz

Most couples are hoping for beautiful weather and clears skies during their engagement sessions.  Move over Gene Kelly, we have another couple celebrating in the rain.  Chris and Samantha embraced their creative side, and wanted soaked engagement photos.  We couldn’t have been happier!

We took over for Mother Nature on that hot summer day, and gladly took on the task of spraying the couple with the water hose. In July, in Texas, this is a much cooler way to conduct a photo shoot.  It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it!  (Bonus – you don’t have to water the grass later either.)

Some couples want normal engagement wandering in a park. There is nothing wrong with that, but we like to push the limits some. Some times that takes the form of astro-portraits, mountain biking together or kayaking. In this case, we just added water.

Here we have some behind the scenes action. Is AzulOx  making sure the lighting is perfect or is this a classic photo bomb?

Shay’s Giraffe Bridal Portraits in Uvalde

April 11, 2017 by Andrew Fritz

We love a crazy idea. When Shay asked if we would go to Uvalde to make some epic bridal portraits, we said yes. I’m not a big fan of the word “epic”, but I think it is appropriate in this case. We started off searching the ranch for the giraffes with my truck. We didn’t have to look for long. One of the giraffe’s and her calf were hanging out near the front of the property among the mesquite trees.

If you ever need to make friends with a giraffe, just bring a bag of carrots, or maybe a bridal bouquet. She seemed equally interested in eating either.

Taylor and Alex: Joshua Tree Adventure Engagement

October 22, 2016 by Andrew Fritz

When couples say yes to our crazy ideas, spectacular things happen. We met Taylor and Alex at the Georgetown Bridal Show even though they live in the Bay Area (as in California). Conversations ensued. We road tripped out to meet them at Joshua Tree for a destination adventure engagement.

Joshua Tree National Park is a dream location. It is the sort of place where a photographer can point their camera in any direction and get spectacular photos. We started in the Cholla Garden, hung out at Skull Rock for sunset and then watch moon rise in Hidden Valley.  Needless to say, we had a ton of fun on this one.

This Adventure Engagement is getting more epic with every hour that passed us by.  You haven’t experienced a sunset, until you’ve seen one at Joshua Tree.  The colors are absolutely breathtaking, and the miles and miles of natural beauty is amazing.

Adventure engagement photos, are more than just pictures.  It’s not at a typical location around the corner,and having to smile on the count of 3 a hundred times.  Instead you’re checking something off your bucket list, making memories, it feels natural and counting to 3 isn’t necessary.

On this adventure engagement, we never had a dull moment.  Soon after the sun sets, we get everything set up and prepared for the couples next photo session.

Getting out of the city is absolutely amazing because of a few reasons.  One,you get to say goodbye to the city lights polluting our sky.  Capturing the couple with this beautiful landscape, the Stars shining bright in the sky has made their adventure engagement unforgettable.  And they have pictures to take home, so they can brag to their friends.

We’re always up for a challenge and love adventures.  We like to see what kind of creative ideas couples can come up with.  We don’t  just take photographs, we tell stories.  Let us bring your story to life, your adventure awaits!

Jacob & Katie: Westridge Stables Spicewood Springs Engagement

October 19, 2016 by Josh Baker

We met Jacob and Katie through Jacob’s company Lone Star Wake Rentals. Jacob takes people out on the Austin area lakes to have a good time. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a better job fit. About half way through their engagement session I looked at Katie and said “I assume Jacob was always the class clown?” The answer was a resounding “yes!”

Needless to say, Katie and Jacob’s engagement session at Westridge Stables was a lot of fun. The property is huge and we spent the afternoon roaming around it looking for photos. We even made some creative use of our Polaris transport, a astro engagement session under the milky way…

Lindsey and Chase: A Canoeing Adventure Engagement

August 24, 2016 by Andrew Fritz

Start with a bucket of west Texas hill country sunshine, a canoe, a couple of kayaks and finally splash on some some water. Lindsey and Chase wanted to revisit one of their early adventures as a couple so we packed up our camera gear and headed out to the Llano river near Chase’s family ranch.

We set out on a “3 hour tour” down a beautiful and largely wild section of the river and didn’t see anyone else after the first thirty minutes.  We had fun taking photos along the way and stopped at a couple of special locations like the red cliffs for portraits. Three hours turned to 6 and we got to finish the paddle under the milky way.

Jason and Shay: Inks Lake Adventure Engagement in Burnet

June 20, 2016 by Andrew Fritz

The Texas hill country is full of beautiful locations to explore and we love it when couples say yes to exploring them during their engagement session. Jason and Shey met us for an Inks Lake Adventure Engagement. Check out (and I don’t normally get to say this) Shay’s adventure giraffe bridal shoot.

Inks lake is a beautiful natural location for engagement photos. The rugged landscape fit Shay and Jason’s adventurous spirit perfectly. Thanks to some recent rain, there were even reflective puddles on the granite.
