Love in Perfect Harmony: A Musical Engagement at the Kimbell Museum

Engagement photoshoots are often a mix of romance, spontaneity, and a little dash of awkward fun. This session with a couple who truly fit the “perfect match” description was all of that and more. Their love story unfolded against the elegant backdrop of the Kimball Museum, and let me tell you, it was a day to remember!

Spontaneous and Sweet: Meet the Couple

When asked to describe their relationship, this couple didn’t hesitate: “Spontaneous.” And they proved it during their session, constantly cracking jokes, sneaking silly faces between shots, and bursting into laughter at just the right moments. Their dynamic was pure joy — the kind of energy that turns a photoshoot into a memory itself.

As classical musicians, their shared passion for music has always been a central part of their connection. But their story is much more than shared sheet music. These two first met as teenagers, when they were just figuring life out. They had ups and downs (who doesn’t at that age?), went their separate ways, and grew as individuals. Years later, life brought them back together. And not just casually — this was a grand, international-student-learning-a-new-language kind of reunion. Their resilience through trials and tribulations, from long-distance struggles to overcoming challenges in the competitive musical world, has shaped them into the beautifully grounded couple they are today.  The Kimball Museum was the perfect venue for this session — timeless, understated, and full of subtle elegance, just like these two. From playful attempts at piggyback rides (yes, we tried!) to deep, soulful moments where they’d just look at each other with the kind of love that makes you believe in fairy tales, the entire day was a seamless blend of fun and romance.

When asked how they wanted to feel looking back at these photos in 20 years, they said: “Like it was a day full of fun and connection.” Mission accomplished!

Their introverted-meets-extroverted vibe was the perfect balance for capturing both playful and deeply emotional shots. PDA isn’t their thing, and that’s okay. We kept things comfortable, natural, and true to who they are. From stolen glances to shared laughs, their personalities shone through every frame.  Their love languages? Quality time, words of affirmation, and acts of service. Every interaction between them radiated these values. You could see it in how they supported each other, in the quiet moments when the camera wasn’t clicking, and in the way they made each other laugh without even trying.

Why They Chose Rae De Lain

When I asked why they booked me, their answer warmed my heart: “Professionalism and personality.” As a faith-filled believer and storyteller, my goal is always to create an experience that goes beyond the photos. These two embraced the experience fully, and I’m so honored to have been part of their journey.  This couple will tie the knot at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, and I can already tell it’s going to be a celebration of love, resilience, and harmony — in every sense of the word. Their story reminds us that love isn’t just about the high notes; it’s about making beautiful music together, even through life’s dissonance.
