Although this lovely engagement session looks straight out of Europe with the old stone and chic style, Laura and James were actually in the great state of Texas! We are loving this neutral color palette in shades of grey, tans, and black. We often see future brides in ivory or white, but the stark opposite looks just as lovely....

From Marianne Sabado Photography: "Laura and James are world travelers with a very non-truadional taste. They were looking to have an "old world" European feel engagement session in Dallas, Texas but with and open mind, we found the perfect spot. I wanted to incorporate their style with the colors and the floral arrangement for the day and thus our engagement shoot turned into green, gold and black themed...all centering a custom made 2 carat emerald engagement ring set amongst a halo of diamond on rose gold.
