Lauren + Elyas Engagement Session at La Palmilla Resort | Glenrose TX
Planner/Coordinator: The De Lain Co. / Chynjah Hinton
Venue: LaPalmilla Resort + Gardens
Photographer: Rae De Lain Weddings
There’s something profoundly special about capturing the love between two believers. Lauren and Elyas's engagement session at La Palmilla Resort was a testament to the beauty of faith and love intertwined. Nestled in the heart of Glen Rose, Texas, La Palmilla is a boutique resort and garden retreat center that offers an extraordinary backdrop for any special occasion. Its Spanish Colonial-inspired architecture and lush oasis landscaping provided the perfect setting for Lauren and Elyas's engagement photos.
A Love Rooted in Faith
Lauren and Elyas's love story is a beautiful reflection of their shared faith. Their bond is not only evident in their interactions but also shines through in the photos we captured. Proverbs 3:3-4 says, "Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man." This scripture perfectly encapsulates the essence of their relationship – a love that is steadfast, faithful, and blessed by God.
The Importance of Engagement Sessions
Engagement sessions are more than just a prelude to the wedding day; they are an essential part of the journey. For me as a photographer, these sessions are invaluable. They provide an opportunity to get to know the couple better, understand their dynamic, and capture their unique love story through the lens. It’s a time to build trust and ensure that both the couple and I are comfortable working together. The result is a collection of images that genuinely reflect their personalities and relationship.
Creating Cherished Memories
The images from an engagement session are not just beautiful photos; they are cherished memories that can be used in many meaningful ways. Here are a few ideas:
- Invitations: Personalize your wedding invitations with your engagement photos, giving your guests a glimpse into your love story.
- Family Heirlooms: These photos become treasured keepsakes that you can pass down through generations, preserving the memory of this special time.
- Decorating Your Wedding: Use the images to decorate your wedding venue. Display them as part of your decor or create a guest book where friends and family can leave their well wishes next to your beautiful engagement photos.
A Testament to Friendship and Faith
It's a blessing when friends trust you enough to refer you, but it’s even more of a blessing when they’re believers like you. I can’t thank my good friend Monique enough for putting us together. Proverbs 17:17 reminds us, "A friend loves at all times." This scripture holds true in my heart as I reflect on the bond that brought Lauren and Elyas to my lens.
Lauren and Elyas's Love Through the Lens
Lauren and Elyas's love poured through every image we captured. Their joy, laughter, and connection were palpable, and I couldn’t be prouder of them. Their session at La Palmilla was not just a photo shoot; it was a celebration of their love and faith.
Engagement sessions are a beautiful way to capture the essence of a couple's relationship. For Lauren and Elyas, their session at La Palmilla Resort was a testament to their love and faith, creating memories that will last a lifetime. I look forward to their wedding day and continuing to document their love story.
Stay tuned for more breathtaking moments from this incredible couple!
