A Vinyl Love Story: Dominique & Myles' Austin Engagement Photoshoot at Waterloo Records

There's something magical about when couples choose locations that truly reflect who they are. As a wedding photographer in Austin, I've shot at countless beautiful spots, but there was something uniquely special about Dominique and Myles' engagement session at Waterloo Records.

The moment we decided on the iconic Austin record store as their location, I knew we were in for something extraordinary. Walking into Waterloo Records that afternoon, the warm lighting and vintage atmosphere created the perfect backdrop for their session. But what truly made the shoot spectacular wasn't the location – it was the genuine, unscripted moments between Dominique and Myles. As they wandered through familiar aisles, their natural chemistry was undeniable. They'd stop occasionally to show each other albums, sharing memories and inside jokes that had me grinning behind my camera.

What I love most about sessions like these is how they tell a couple's unique story. Traditional engagement photos are beautiful, but there's something extraordinary about documenting couples in spaces that hold meaning for them. The vintage vinyl covers, the handwritten price tags, the warm glow of the store's lighting – everything came together to create images that weren't just photos, but memories they'll cherish forever.

To all my future couples reading this: don't be afraid to think outside the box for your engagement session. Choose a location that speaks to your story, your passions, your journey together. Whether it's a record store, a bookshop, or your favorite coffee spot, the most magical photos happen when you're simply being yourselves in a place you love.

Congratulations again to Dominique and Myles – thank you for letting me be part of your love story. I can't wait to share more images from this incredible session, but for now, here's a peek at some of my favorites from their afternoon at Waterloo Records.

Keep spinning your beautiful love story, you two. 💕
