Galveston Engagement Portraits

It was a beautiful day in Galveston when I met up with Lukas & Tori for their engagement portraits.

We decided to start on the Strand first. We wondered the streets walked up stairs and found a cute alley to take engagement portraits.

Some of my favorite photos from the strand were reflected photos and photos on the old brick.

After the Strand, we headed to the beach to take a couple of photos as the sun set. We met up near the Pleasure pier and started under the pier of another property taking engagement photos with the pleasure pier in the background. The sky was weirdly foggy for a sunset, but it gave the photos this ethereal vibe.

 

Galveston Engagement Portrait fun

Chris & Rachel’s put-put & pleasure pier engagement photos.

Most of the time, when I go to Galveston for engagement photos, it’s at the beach. This time, I got to start the engagement photos at a put-put golf place first! I had so much fun putting around (pun intended) with Christ & Rachel.

We shot a couple of photos at Magic Carpet Golf (a haunt of the couple’s). Chris and Rachel were so much fun and competitive. I loved their fun, bubbly personalities. After put-put, we headed to the Pleasure Pier, but found out we were about a week too early. Sad face. The pier wasn’t opened so we settled for beach photos with the pier in the background.

See the photos below.

 

Troy & Hailee’s Galveston Beach Engagement Portraits

As we reach into summer, I find myself spending more and more time at the beach for engagement portraits. Every time I try to take photos somewhere else, both myself and my clients are drenched in sweat by the end of it. There’s something about the ocean breeze and sand between your toes to make you feel better.

I met Troy and Hailee at Stewart Beach in Galveston just before sunset. We chatted about life, wedding plans, twins, and crabs. Troy pointed out some crabs while we were taking photos and even captured a sand crab at the end of the night as we were walking back to our cars.

Leighton & Heather’s Galveston Engagement Portraits

There is a unique place as your heading out to Galveston that I have wanted to stop at and take photos for a while now. I was so excited when Leighton and Heather agreed to be my guinea pigs. So, before heading to the beach, I met up with the couple at the marshes.

When we got to the beach, I found out that Leighton & Heather could dance. When I say dance, I mean intense quasi-acrobatic swing-dancing. They showed me their sweet, sweet dance moves (which I captured) then we walked down to the jetties, which I’ve been intrigued about for a while now. There, I got into some trouble with the lifeguard because I kept standing where I wasn’t supposed to stand, and I asked Leighton and Heather to stand where they weren’t supposed to… who knew there were so many rules around the jetties?
