I love how a simple piano is so perfectly used in this engagement shoot (shot in a gorgeous field, no less!) by San Antonio-based photographer Clayton Austin. Aren’t these shots music to your ears, friends? What is one prop you’d love to use in your own engagement or wedding shoot? xoxo
P.S. Of course I love the red umbrella too! 🙂

Aura says
These are so cute. It's amazing how wonderful and creative portrait sessions have gotten in the last few years. I want to get engaged all over again, just to take engagement photos!
Melissa Blake says
these photos are giving me engagment fever, aura!! xoxo
Lillian Chang says
So cute!! Everything about it is so lovely – the piano, the flower in her hair, and of course, that red umbrella. I want it all 🙂
Nicole says
love the pop of color from the umbrella! i'm not sure if i could pick any ONE item to shoot with, but i suppose i'd want to go for a very… vintage-y, old-school, back-to-basics look!
thelayeredpancake says
how much difference does a red umbrella make! so classy.
Dancing Branflake says
So fun! I can't imagine how they got the piano out there. But I love fun and unexpected engagement shoots like this. And I, too, love the umbrella.
Melissa Blake says

I'm really loving the red umbrella. I never though about what kind of props I would use for engagement photos, but being from Seattle the umbrella would make sense. I do know that I would have them taken at the Pike Street Market since that is where my boyfriend and I met.
Jude says
How gorgeous and romantic! I play the piano so I'd definitely consider it for a photo prop anytime 🙂 (Love the red umbrella too!)
Gilding Lilies says
I think I'd like to use Estelle, my '66 Mustang, as my prop. She's sky blue, and oh so pretty.
Now, if only I could figure out the guy this easily.
Lady Grey says
Gorgeous! I love the props!
Melissa Blake says
i love that name for a car!! 🙂

Brian and Ashley Baker says
My Husband is a gold miner and a pilot so in some of our engagement shots we had hard hats with head lamps on and some we were in our plane with the pilot headsets on. Made the invitations have a little touch of our new life together.:)
Melissa Blake says
That is so sweet, ashley!!
Poppies and Sunshine says
This is amazing! Love it!
Beatriz says
This is so gorgeous and so simple. I wish we had kept it more simple for our engagement photos (instead of running all over town finding special spots). This is so Lovely.
Hope you're doing wonderful!

These photos are simply beautiful. I really like the picture frame and plant as my fav. props for this set =) and if I were to choose my own props, I would most definitely use something that incorporates the personality of the couple.
I also like the idea of the couple holding up an empty picture frame, framing their faces or each one holding a small chalk/white board with a special message on it ("I love you") for the other to read.

That's a great idea grace! Chalkboards are awesome.
Hillary says
I love the idea of the piano. Whenever people have props like that it's so awesome. Well worth the extra effort.
I have no idea what I want to do for my pictures yet, so I guess I will just have to keep looking around at awesome pics online. Oh darn. ;D
KERRY says
Ooooh, what a truly beautiful set of photos.
