Rice University Engagement: Dana & Pat

Dana and Patrick (or Pat, if you’re tight like us…) met through Rice University’s mechanical engineering program. Friends for quite a while, Pat was convinced Dana had the hots for a mutual friend of theirs. But Dana had actually fallen for Pat… And flirted incessantly with him until he got the clue. ;) On Wednesday, I met with them back where it all started, to document where it’s all going. Dana and Pat will be married this coming August. And though the minutia of wedding planning surrounds them, one thing is clear… They simply light up around each other. I am so very excited to share with you my selects from their engagement session! XOXO!!

This was my first time shooting at Rice and it was so absolutely beautiful and inspiring!

The shot below of Dana? I want to hang it on my own wall… GORGEOUS thaaang.

I’m funny. Just ask Dana and Pat. ;)

Sitting right outside the building where they first met. :)

Sunkissed & Made Up did a flawless job on Dana’s face. I’ll swear by their work eight days a week!

Loving this moment…

The two changed into a second, more dressy wardrobe and made this tree look faaabulous.

Pretty sure I like it. :)

The light pouring through every nook and crevice of this campus was amazing.

And of course we had to get a few shots with the 45 and 90 Degrees sculptures in the court of engineering.

Could you two be any more adorable with each other? I really don’t think so…

And a few more on the main quad.

That liiight. Those smiles. :)

Yay for engagement season! Congratulations to Dana and Pat!

Happy Friday!!
