I like this styled engagement shoot from Wedding Sparrow sponsor Kayla Barker for the adorable pup. I also like it for the cute styling and Hunter Boots! But, in fact, I LOVE this engagement shoot as it features the best calligrapher in Texas and soon-to-be-launching-photography-business Katie Hyatt. I'm lucky enough to have spent a few days in Italy with Katie at Retreat Gatherings (check out their website to see Katie's work!) and not only is she super talented, she's a great friend. So I love that we get to feature this styled shoot of Katie, her husband Jared and their big dog Yellah!! Wedding Sparrow is heading to Katie's home town of Texas to work on a little project so keep your eyes peeled for beautiful dresses, epic styling and the San Antonio backdrop soon...

This styled shoot gives brides hints and tips of how to subtly accessorise and 'theme' and engagement/anniversary shoot without the focus being removed from you and your beloved (and pup!). Simple stationery and organic styling make this shoot the perfect excuse to take some film photography of your family...

From Kayla Barker: " I wanted to capture Katie and her husband, Jared and adorable dog, Yellah having a relaxing day by the river and basking in the beautiful sunlight. I love that Katie kept the styling organic and natural! "

From Katie: " My concept was to create a relaxed, organic and intimate environment for a couple in love. The use of a soft wool sweater, hand dyed menus with watercolor accents and wooden maple leaf labels really helped to pull everything together."
