When Brittani and Brian envisioned their Dallas engagement session, they wanted something unique and sophisticated, with a touch of editorial flair. Mirador in Downtown Dallas was the perfect choice for their upscale bar engagement session. With exclusive after-hours access to the restaurant, we were able to capture stunning and intimate moments that were both editorial and candid. Their session was a beautiful blend of elegance and spontaneity, reflecting their love story in the most captivating way.

Beyond the Usual: Mirador After Dark

Mirador, a stunning rooftop restaurant with breathtaking city views, offered the perfect setting for Brittani and Brian’s vision. The best part? We had exclusive access to the venue after hours. It was Mirador turned into our own little private studio. The warm glow of the city lights created a romantic atmosphere, while the sleek bar and plush seating provided the perfect mix of modern sophistication and casual comfort. We explored every corner of the space, capturing Brittani and Brian as they sipped cocktails, shared stories, and laughed together.

Upscale & Candid

Engagement sessions are all about capturing the love and connection between a couple. However, Brittani and Brian craved something more than the typical posed portraits. They envisioned an experience that felt editorial and stylish, while still remaining true to their playful and affectionate personalities. We captured stolen glances over cocktails, playful moments amidst the cityscape, and the undeniable spark that radiates from their connection. The session wasn’t just about posed photos; it was about capturing the joy, laughter, and comfortable intimacy they share.
