It was their careers in politics that led Kelly and Pierce to meet each other three years ago. Kelly was doing fundraising for a campaign, and Pierce was working directly on the campaign. They became friends at work, and felt a natural connection with one another. Tragically, Kelly’s mom passed away around that time, and it was Pierce who comforted her and supported her. The two began dating and enjoy their lives in Austin with their three pups.

To propose to Kelly, Pierce took her on a tour of their favorite downtown hot spots, and finally ended at his grandmother’s home where he asked her to be his wife. They then celebrated with their close friends and family.

It was so much fun to photograph this ambitious couple’s engagement session! We headed to McKinney falls, and the weather was an absolute dream. Kelly and Pierce, I am so very happy for you, and I can’t wait to capture your wedding this fall!
