Dallas Arboretum Engagement // Dallas, TX // Lindsey + Hunter
Lindsey + Hunter are SO DAMN PRECIOUS. They made this shoot so much fun. We arrived at 9 am right when they open and walked around to the sunken garden, rose garden, and womens garden . Its a fun place for incredibly scenic photos and you only pay entry fee + a small portrait photography fee for all the time you would like to photograph!
The love story
“We actually met on Bumble! Luckily, I worked with someone who knew Hunter from college and vouched for him being a “great guy” so I decided to go to dinner with him and from there the rest is history! It really was pretty much love at first date. We became official two weeks later. We both knew we had found something special, but I recently learned that we both knew it was something REAL and serious at different times!”
When Lindsey knew he was the one
“I knew he was “the one” after our first trip together. Only a few months of dating (and dropping not too subtle hints about needing a vacay), I convinced Hunter to take a long weekend trip with me. I knew how magical New York can be and I knew Hunter had never been (plus- you know what they say; traveling together is the quickest way to find out if you are compatible.) After NY I knew I had found something special. I had found my best friend. I can’t wait to spend my life with Hunter. ”
When Hunter knew she was the one
” At the risk of sounding cliché, I knew that Lindsey was the one almost from the beginning. While I’ve known in my heart that she was the person for me from very early on, it became abundantly clear how strong that intuition was when our first Christmas came around. That first holiday was fast approaching and left us wondering where we would spend Christmas and how we would accommodate both of our families.”
“Without hesitation, our families changed their plans and Lindsey’s parents committed to joining us in Tulsa with my family. We spent days together as a family playing games, watching Christmas movies and doing whiskey tastings that give me a bit of a headache just to think about. It left me feeling grateful for having someone by my side that loved me enough to come with me on such an important holiday. More importantly, it was an early reminder for me that when you’ve found the one, everything else fits.”

Favorite part about the engagement?
“The engagement shoot was probably the most fun day I have had in years! I mean, Alex is not only the best photographer but the ultimate hype girl. It was seriously such a fun day. Hunter and I both left there thinking we had found the absolute best photographer not only for her work but just for being so sweet and real. We were both blown away by how comfortable and confident we felt throughout the entire photoshoot.”
