Claire + Brian: An Engagement Session

Claire and Brian are two of the kindest, most joyful people I know. And I don’t say that lightly. Claire is so full of life, always laughing and enjoying her surroundings. Brian is attentive, and gentle, always giggling with Claire. They first met while attending the University of Saint Thomas in Houston, but it wasn’t until after college that they began dating. They had spent some time together during college in the same friend group. However, it was at a networking event for young professionals that they connected in a way that intrigued them to pursue each other romantically.

The Engagement Session

We were so excited to get to do something a little different during their engagement session. We got to film a documentary “Love Story” with them both sharing how they met, and how Brian proposed (so I won’t share too much more of their story here!). This is a video option we are offering for add-on with our video collections, and these two were our first couple to do this! (Be sure to check it out at the bottom of this post!)

For their engagement session, we stayed in the downtown OKC area, starting at Automobile Alley. The couple loves coffee, so after Automobile Alley we headed over to Leaf + Bean. They live in Houston, but Oklahoma is home for Claire – so we wanted a city feel for their engagement session. Something reflective of their current lifestyle.

 

We also had the opportunity to do videography for Claire and Brian’s wedding. You’ll be able to find their highlight film in our Portfolio! This was such a special thing for us, because besides these two being awesome people, Claire is also my cousin (Danielle). To get to be involved so closely in the leading up to her wedding was such an honor. Some very fond memories were made creating their video.

Claire and Brian — Thank you so much for letting us be a part of so much of your engagement and wedding day! We feel so privileged to have gotten to learn so much about your love story, and absolutely enjoyed celebrating it with you!

xx, Danielle

It was so wonderful working with Danielle during our whole wedding process! From the moment I initially reached out, she was kind, very helpful, and great to work with. She was always helpful and quick to reply. She worked with our wedding planner to come up with a great wedding day timeline and adjusted it based off my ideas. I loved being around her on our wedding day and knew that she had it all under control! Throughout the whole process she helped my husband and I feel comfortable behind the camera. Her photos are absolutely amazing!! Our photos are bright, elegant, and timeless. We will cherish our photos forever!! I could not be happier that we chose to work with Danielle for our wedding!!

We really enjoyed working with Danielle on our wedding day! She was great to bounce around ideas before and during the event, very thorough in her questionnaire, and super pleasant to be around bringing just the right energy to the mix. We got a ton of lovely photos to capture the essence of our beautiful wedding! Overall, we're very pleased with our decision to work with Danielle and would recommend her to any couple who needs a fantastic photographer for their wedding!

I could not recommend Danielle enough. My husband and I wrapped up our wedding experience feeling as if we had made a new friend through Danielle. She made it a point to get to know us on a level that was more than just transactional. My husband Cooper expressed to me after the wedding that Danielle had made him feel as though he was important as the groom, while making him feel comfortable and calm through the whole process...I chose Danielle as my photographer because you could really see and feel the romance and happiness of the couples through her photos, and I absolutely could not be any more happier with my choice of photographer. We loved every step of the way with Danielle!

When we were looking through photographers galleries, we loved the style of Danielle's photos the best. Her work is bright, classic and elegant. We didn’t have any concerns prior to working with Danielle and the moment we met her, we knew we had made the right choice. She made us feel so comfortable. We absolutely love our photos! Danielle, you captured our wedding day perfectly. Choosing Danielle as our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos was one of the best decisions we made! We couldn’t love Danielle and her work more!
