Susan + Krister / Engagement
December 11, 2009Susan + Krister are the wedding and portrait photography duo of Picture That Photography visiting all the way from Canada and when they initially contacted me in reference to shooting their engagement session in Austin, TX, one of their favorite cities to visit, I must admit I was slightly nervous. I had never photographed another photographer before, let alone two at the same time. Thankfully, and at the risk of sounding cliche, they really are some of the most genuinely nicest people I have ever met and their gentle and humble spirit put me at ease right away. Technically Susan & Krister aren’t officially engaged just yet but as you will see from their images it is clearly just a matter of time. I would also like to mention that the red swing featured in this session isn’t just any old random swing. It is actually the very first swing hung as part of the Red Swing Project which has hung 90 red swings worldwide in an effort to raise money and unite human kind through the simple enjoyment of a single red swing. How befitting that my new friends from Canada would happen across this particular red swing only to steal a few moments to remind each other just how good it feels to be in love…











































They are amazing people! Susan Hydzik said: Thank you so much Clayton! We love the pictures very much!!! You are a very talented photographer, and we really appreciate you doing some “local” (for you) photography for us. Thanks for showing us a super cool location and for spending a really great evening with us! We’ll contact you next time we’re in Austin for our next photo shoot :).
