Engagement sessions at Hotel Ella always have a timeless charm, and Emily and Ross’s was no exception. Their session was filled with sunshine, laughter, and that effortless Austin elegance that makes Hotel Ella such a beautiful backdrop for engagement photos.
We explored the historic architecture, romantic courtyards, and soft light filtering through the trees. Emily and Ross were completely at ease, and their chemistry made every frame feel natural and genuine. The session was a mix of film and digital, giving their gallery a dreamy blend of warmth, texture, and color that perfectly captured their love.
It was the perfect Austin afternoon spent celebrating this exciting season of life and love, full of golden light, sweet connection, and effortless style.
