When Houston Decides It’s Already Summer
April is one of my favorite times of year in Houston. Everything is green, flowers are blooming everywhere, and the gardens are looking their absolute best. The weather can be perfect too, although sometimes Houston decides to skip spring altogether and go straight into summer. That was definitely the case for this engagement session at Mercer Botanic Gardens. It was hot. Really hot. But we came prepared! We had handheld fans, plenty of cold water, and a couple who somehow managed to stay energetic and have a great time through all of it.
Romantic Gardens and Lots of Fun
We wandered through the gardens, stopping at all kinds of beautiful spots along the way. With so much greenery, blooming flowers, and winding paths around us, there was no shortage of places for photos. What made this session one of my favorites was the couple themselves. They were fun, playful, and completely up for anything. Even in almost summer level heat, they kept laughing, dancing, cuddling, and enjoying every minute together. The final gallery ended up being the perfect mix of romantic and fun. Some photos were soft and intimate, while others captured their playful personalities and all the energy they brought to the session. Honestly, those are some of our favorite engagement sessions. You can have the most beautiful location in the world, but when a couple is genuinely enjoying each other, that's when the magic really happens.
