Engagement at Historic Casa Cartel in Austin, Texas | Anna + Kolton

This was such a fun engagement shoot! Anna & Kolton picked the perfect spot for this special occasion. They definitely dressed the part, too! They rented out the amazing Casa Cartel, a Spanish-influenced venue that provided so many photo ops. It seemed like every corner we turned and every room we stepped into, there was another great opportunity to capture this amazing couple in a new and unique way. It was simply amazing to be in the atmosphere that the house provided.

I'm sure you will fall in love with Anna & Kolton when you look through their engagement photos. Make sure to notice the bouquet that Anna is holding! They got this last-minute from the talented Gypsy Floral, and it completed the bohemian and Spanish vibe.

I'm so glad that Anna and Kolton found each other, and so grateful that they picked me to capture their engagement. I love going to unique locations and to venues I've never been to before! Add a fun, loving and photogenic couple in the mix, and you have the perfect Engagement Shoot! 🙂

Before you jump into the photos, check out what this couple had to say about working with me:

"Nikk is absolutely incredible! We were so excited to shoot with him after seeing his work. We did not want a traditional and staged engagement shoot. Nikk has such a unique and artistic eye. He captured our love in such a magical way. He’s an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an engagement or wedding photographer. We wanted to grab a beer with him afterwards. He’s such a great guy and photographer. Ya’ll need to book this guy. His work is remarkable."
