Working with Ainslea & Carson on their sailboat engagement session was such a dream. These two grew up on the water and share a love for New England and sailing, so we brought their Rhode Island vision to life right here in the heart of Texas with @sailaustin.tx.
Lake Travis gave us everything – golden hour light, a fiery sunset, and even a glowing moon that set the perfect mood. With champagne on deck, laughter in the air, and the sailboat as their backdrop, every moment felt both fun and intimate.
Huge thanks to Captain Tim for making the evening flawless (and for letting A&C end it all with a jump into the lake). The nighttime flash vibes were next level, and honestly, I couldn’t have imagined a better way to wrap things up.
Totally obsessed and so grateful to know these two!
