Lorena + Alex - A Stow Lake Engagement

I arrived at Stow Lake early to scout out the area. I've never been there before and wanted to find the good spots, or at least the spots that came up on Google images. After an hour, or so, of walking around, I had no success in finding those spots.

Lorena and Alex finally arrived and we jumped right into their session. Well, only because the waterfall was right there as we were walking in. :)

Lorena's sister, Adela, actually did her makeup for this session. Didn't she do great?! I'm loving the wind that blew through her hair on this one. High five, Mother Nature!

I may have mentioned this in my sneak peek post, but the way that Alex proposed to Lorena was simply romantic! He had a brick engraved at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium with the proposal. The day they went to Dallas to watch a game, Alex was stuck trying to find the location of the brick, while Lorena struggled to stay cool in the hot Texas heat. Here's a replica of the proposal brick.

Stow Lake had some really cool spots, like this huge branch that made a perfect arch.

And this bridge!

Lorena + Alex plan on getting married next Spring/Summer. I can't wait! I'm beginning to feel like I'm a part of their family :)

Here's a little video of their engagement session.

Day 29...Almost done + Another sneak peek

Wow...30 days almost done. Whew! Where has the time gone? Doesn't it seem like the days go by quicker as we get older? Ugh...

Anyhow... I'm soooooo in LOVE with my photos from Lorena and Alex's Stow Lake engagement session that I'd like to post another sneak peek :)

Watch out....here comes the cutest story EVER!!!! The brick above...that's how Alex proposed to Lorena. They both LOVE the Dallas Cowboys. A few years ago when the Cowboys built a new stadium, he bought a brick and had the above engraved. As they traveled to Texas to attend a game, Alex was staring at the ground trying to find the brick while Lorena suffered from the heat. Lol! I feel ya Lorena, I hate the heat!

Anyhow, he found it and proposed to her. :) Isn't that SOOOOO sweet?? He thought engraving a brick at the Cowboys stadium would be great for their future kids and grand kids to visit. Ugh...Alex, you're such a romantic! :)

And because Alex is the cutest...

It was supposed to be a "serious" photo, but he couldn't stop laughing. It's okay though because I LOVE laughing photos :)

Day 26...A Stow Lake Engagement Sneak Peek

As promised from yesterday's post, here's a sneak peek of today's engagement session with Lorena and Alex at Stow Lake, using the lenses I rented.

This first photo I REALLY LOVE!! The fog started to roll in and they wanted to change outfits because it was getting chilly. Thank goodness I asked if we could do one more pose because this is what I got. This was shot with the Tamron 24-70mm at 46mm, ISO 1000 @ 2.8, 1/2500 sec.

Lorena and Alex stepped out on the dock in their second outfit which I shot with the Canon 70-200mm at 70mm, ISO 1000 @ 4.0, 1/1250 sec.

It was such a great session today. I'll definitely post more! Stay tuned :)
