Michelle + Justin with their adorable shih tzus, Barkley and Gatsby will make your day! Justin (computer programmer) and Michelle (school speech-language pathologist) have been together for almost 10 years. They met when they were 17! He proposed by renting a plane/ pilot and flying Michelle around downtown Austin, ACL, the UT Tower (where they graduated), and Lake Travis during sunset with a bottle of Prosecco. He asked her over Lake Travis during sunset! What a beautiful proposal story and couple! I absolutely loved doing their engagement session and so glad they included their pups. They will make the cutest ring bearers at their wedding at Villa Antonia in July. I can’t wait to see these four again!!!

How did you meet and when did you know he/she was “the one”?

Justin and I met each other through a mutual friend and I knew he was the one because he always made me laugh and we always had a great time together! He put up with my silliness, considering we met each other at 17. ?

Do you have a super romantic proposal story or engagement memory?

Justin proposed to me by renting a plane/ pilot and flying me around downtown Austin, ACL, the UT Tower (where we graduated), and Lake Travis during sunset with a bottle of Prosecco. He asked me over Lake Travis during sunset 🙂

What are your day jobs/hobbies?

Michelle: I work as a school speech-language pathologist. I LOVE hanging out with my shih tzus and running marathons!

Justin: He works as a computer programmer and enjoys working with stocks. He’s an outdoorsman and loves to hangout with the pups. 🙂

How was your experience with Svetlana Photography?

I LOVE Svetlana Photography! Svetlana made Justin and I feel very comfortable, not awkward at all! She was very down-to-earth, gave great advice, was really sweet, not to mention, she has AMAZING skills!
