The Dude and I took our engagement pictures a couple weeks ago with our wedding photographers, the Nichols. They’re a husband + wife team based here in Austin, and they are amazing! When we told them we wanted a vintage-inspired shoot, they were right on board. Jennifer emailed me asking if I had anything in mind for the shoot, and I told her there was this old car junkyard that we had walked past one day and were curious about. I thought it was a long shot, but she loved the idea, and it actually ended up working out!
They found so many cool backdrops to shoot us in right around our neighborhood (East Side, represent).
Finally, we ended the shoot in our fave record store, End of an Ear, in South Austin.
We had SO much fun taking these pictures. Jennifer and C.J. made us feel so comfortable, and we got into the swing of it pretty quickly. At one point, the Dude told me to “smile with my eyes”–ha! I’ve made him watch America’s Next Top Model one too many times, I think.
I can’t wait to work with the Nichols again on our wedding day!
Such awesome locations and they are SO totally vintage-inspired! Love it.
I love having so many different backdrops. We succeeded in doing that for our engagement pictures, and I’m hoping our (non-posed) wedding pictures will be the same way!
I love the shot of your two on the car… and your dress. Luv it! Great Pics!
They are adorable! You two make such a cute couple!
You look gorgeous in that red dress! You are such a cute couple.

These are beautiful! I love the second one. And the one where you are holding him from behind? His eyes look so dreamy!
Wicked awesome dress, Mouse! Absolutely love it against the ruggedness of the car junkyard.

Mrs. Mouse, Austin Age and Occupation: 25, Weddingbee Editor/Attorney Fiance's Age and Occupation: 31, Civil Engineer Engagement Date: December 19, 2007 Wedding Date: September 2009 Venue: Barr Mansion About Me: I just graduated from law school and will be taking the bar, getting married, going on a honeymoon with my guy, and then trying to figure out what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. I was born and raised in a small East Texas town, but I'm no country girl! I'm obsessed with British accents, fantasy (including Harry Potter, of course), and classic rock. My fiance and I consider ourselves both music and beer snobs--but every once in awhile we love to hear a crappy band and drink a cheap brew or two. We're planning an eco-friendly, casual, English garden affair for the end of summer, and we can't wait for it to get here!
