A Moody November Engagement Session
September, 17 2020
“November comes And November goes, With the last red berries And the first white snows. With night coming early, And dawn coming late, And ice in the bucket And frost by the gate. The fires burn And the kettles sing, And earth sinks to rest Until next spring.” These words by Clyde Watson haunt us every time this month rings a bell. Transforming the pumpkin-spiced fall into snowflakes-laden winters. And just like that, November goes by, leaving a new trail of stories full of warmth and transitions.
November of 2018 witnessed a beautiful story of love that etched in the history of this universe. Anupriya and Sanchit chose this day to announce their love to the world and gave us a chance to be the medium. The duo allowed their love to take over as they posed effortlessly in gorgeous engagement locations in Austin, wearing love as an accessory to their stunning engagement attire.
For this fall-winter engagement photoshoot, the duo chose a perfect color scheme for their engagement look. We are absolutely crushing over the burgundy gown that Anupriya chose to wear on this special day. She was looking stunning in a velvety gown in burgundy with a broad V-neck and a knee-high side slit. She accessorized her engagement look with subtle jewelry comprising pearls and diamonds adorned in gold. We loved how she did her hair for the day. It was tied up as a messy bun with little strands falling on the sides. She completed her engagement look with a pair of silver stilettos which added the perfect sparkling of glamor.

Sanchit looked dapper in a perfectly complimenting textured charcoal gray jacket with dark gray pants and a crisp white shirt. He finished his engagement look with a pair of gray shoes. The couple looked amazingly in sync, their colors perfectly complementing each other. We believe that the fall and winter months are perfect for trying out various colors in engagement and wedding photography. Jewel tones, seasonal colors, and festive elements look stunning and exquisite during these months.
Their lost-in-love expressions, the romantic deep colors, and the colors all around, all looked like a scene straight out of a storybook! Our Austin engagement photographers captured their chemistry brilliantly against the backdrops of lush greens and serene whites.
This Austin engagement photo session began with the gorgeous couple posing against the bridge. The pillars added a beautiful dimension to the background as the cityscape shone gloriously behind it. The photography looks as if it’s a scene out of a Bollywood movie with the actor and actress dancing to a song! We are still swooning over this fantabulous moment captured by our Austin engagement photographers and don’t think we’ll be over it any time soon!
Anupriya and Sanchit struck beautiful romantic poses for their engagement session. Lost in each other’s embrace while the cityscape peeping onto them from behind. Their photos are picture postcard-worthy as the colors of the couple are blending in with the lush greens and concrete grays in the backdrop. The lovely duo moved towards a rustic looking staircase and we are absolutely loving the vibe of it. It’s a great mix of elegance and rusticity. They can’t take their eyes off each other and we can’t seem to take our eyes off them! The shape of the staircase added a unique element of asymmetry and geometry to the photos. And the abstractness of it all has given us some seriously unique engagement goals.
Anupriya and Sanchit also posed against the white wall - as simple as it can get - but the results are absolutely stunning! How can we ever recover from the whirlwind this color combination has caused in our minds? We are totally loving the vibe of the colors and greatly recommend it for fall or winter engagements. You could even incorporate these colors, especially burgundy in a fall or winter wedding for trendsetting wedding photography. We love the way our engagement photographers have captured Anupriya in a gorgeous solo portrait. She looks stunning and so-in-love! Love always brings a different kind of blush on your face, and that’s beautifully visible on the bride-to-be’s face.
The newly engaged couple decided to head for the lush landscapes and we can’t hold back the romance in our hearts just looking at their Austin engagement session photos. The verdancy of the backdrops adds to the whimsy of the photos while the rustic walkway adds an earthy vibe. The background is lush with the glory of fall, various colors give a unique beauty to nature around. With colors varying from the lightest of greens to the darkest of browns, nature tells us it's time for a change. A new season is knocking the door, with new opportunities and excitement. And Anupriya and Sanchit’s anticipation for great times makes these photos high on love quotient!
The couple explored the surrounding areas and posed effortlessly for our Austin engagement photographers while the nature around them worked its magic! With so many shades of greens as far as the eyes can see, the engagement photos are a soothing treat for us. As the couple posed against the huge bushes, some adorned with flowers, our engagement photographers captured all the intimate moments between the two and transformed them into memories that can take them back in time. We absolutely loved Anupriya and Sanchit’s photo amidst the water fountains which touched the golden hour. While the water element adds a unique dimension to the photos, the lights around make them iconic. We loved the effect of the fluidity of water on this Austin engagement photography with subtle lights adding glitz from behind. Golden hours and night times give rise to many-an iconic photographs! See what we mean here. We also love the water element when it’s added to photography especially when it’s in motion, like the rain.
