Candice + Chris :: Engaged
Considering I have known the groom (Chris) since he was born, this was bound to be a session like no other. Not only are they practically family since they are from my hometown of Brenham, but Candice and Chris would easily be perfect clients for me if they were from Tokyo. Well, maybe not Tokyo…the whole language thing might get in the way, but you know where I was going with that.
They are good-lookin’, laid back, Austin-loving kids who can roll with the socialites or the hippies or the bikers. If that isn’t my kind of couple, I don’t know what is. We laughed and made general jackasses out of ourselves traipsing all over South Congress in Austin with our adventure consisting of me dropping Chris’s sunglasses in Lady Bird Lake (Town Lake for you old schoolers), nearly getting hit by 17 cars, and trying on wigs/moustaches/lobster hats. The fun never ends with Kate Mefford, people.
Check out our escapades below, and be sure to watch the slideshow at the end!
Chris proposed to Candice on the Congress bridge, so revisiting it was fun for all of us.
The bystanders and cars driving by loved the show!
Totally zen, right? And I’m not talkin’ edamame.
A definite favorite. This pizza joint made me so wish I would have thought to open my own restaurant and name it Homeslice.
Love in Austin is a wonderful thing.
Yeah, I know these are out of focus, but I love them anyway. Something about them makes my heart sing.
It was Candice’s life long dream to try on a blonde wig, so we made it come true. Marilyn, who?
Love this little scene.
Favorite!
Hot!

Wow Kate. These are fantastic….what an amazing talent you have. Chris and Candice said they had a great time during the session - which says a lot considering how awkward it can be! Can’t wait to see the wedding photographs.
Chris Bullock - are you old enough to get married??? Yikes!!! Yes, you are….all grown up and handsome with a beautiful, beautiful bride to be…yes, you are, Candice!!! Kate….what an awesome capture!!! Your photography never ceases to blow me away…WOW!!!
Kate-these have far surpassed any of my expectations…not that I didn’t think I would love them but WOW! I must say that you are by far the best of the best considering that neither of us think we are the most photogenic of sorts, which is a big task in itself…and you should know that Chris and I plan to call on you many times over in the future! Thank you for such a wonderful time and we can’t wait to see the rest!
Kate-I have to say that you far surpassed any of our expectations, not that we didn’t think we would love them but…WOW! Chris and I couldn’t be any happier with the results! You really captured the essence of “US” and we are thrilled to have you as our photographer…and we do plan to call on you many times over! Thank you for such a wonderful time…and you should know that I’ve been telling everyone I know about you! Can’t wait to see the rest!
The “Homeslice” is my FAVE…perfect for ALL three of you! GREAT JOB to all of you…can’t wait for my turn:)
You are rockin’ it lately girl. So proud of you, especially given all you have going on right now!
Kate, these pics are gorgeous! It reminds me how much I loved living in Austin. You got all the hot spots in the pics! Not to mention that the bride and groom look like models! Keep it up, girl. You rock!
[…] Candice and Chris are hitched, so while I am working on their images, I thought I would show you the Unbridaled session I have had hidden away for a couple of months. We met up at Chris’ grandmother’s house to continue the family tradition of using that environment for bridal sessions. Every nook and cranny was gorgeous, as was Candice! […]
