There’s something about an engagement session that includes something the couple truly loves (whiskey in this instance)—it’s like catching lightning in a bottle. Rebecca and Shellie brought that magic to their September session in the heart of Fort Worth’s South Main Street, blending laughter, love, and a little bit of Nickel City charm into a session to remember.

We started at Nickel City, one of South Main’s most iconic bars. From the moment Rebecca and Shellie walked in, their connection was palpable. They kicked things off with a shot (because why not?), followed by relaxed drinks as I captured their easygoing vibe. The cozy, warm ambiance of the bar created the perfect backdrop for moments filled with laughter and playful side glances that only two people who just get each other can share.

Once we wrapped up inside, we headed out to explore the urban charm of South Main Street. The energy of this area matched Rebecca and Shellie’s personality perfectly—fun, vibrant, and full of life. Whether they were walking hand-in-hand down the sidewalk or laughing together in the bright sunshine, every moment felt effortless.

Their love story radiates joy and authenticity, and it was such an honor to document this chapter of their journey. Fast forward just a couple of months to November, and I had the privilege of photographing their wedding day, where their personalities and love for each other shined even brighter – stay tuned for a blog post on their wedding day.

Rebecca and Shellie’s engagement session is a reminder that the best photos come from simply being yourselves, soaking in the moment, and sharing a laugh with the person you love most.
