Located near Mount Bonnell and Mayfield gardens the Austin Museum of Art (AMOA) – Laguna Gloria has some of the most beautiful park grounds in central Texas. This Mediterranean style villa includes a mile of Lake Austin shoreline and is an amazing location for weddings. The beautiful grounds makes it a perfect location for capturing engagement photos. The grounds and building provides an endless opportunity for creating pictures and is certainly a photographers dream location.

So Nkenji and Bolaji met me at Laguna Gloria for their engagement photo session. We had a truly fun filled engagement session. I kept cracking them up and they kept laughing which made for some very relaxed portraits. Engagement photo sessions are meant to be fun and this one did not disappoint. I always want my bride and groom to look back at their engagement pictures and forever remember the joy and optimism they shared before their wedding. This was easy to pull off with Nkenji and Bolaji as they are soo much in love. I am looking forward to photographing their wedding in Dallas later this summer. After a walk around the park we then left for the MLK train station. Although light rail has finally come to Austin the trains have not started operating so we had the entire platform to ourselves. If you are looking for a location in Austin Texas to create some beautiful engagement pictures, The villa and grounds at Laguna Gloria should certainly be on your short list. Here are a few picture your Austin wedding photographer  captured on that day.

As we took pictures on the platform at the MLK train station, we could not pass up this photo op  when a Union Pacific train came by. We were not expecting any trains on the railroad but it made for a neat picture.
