I first met Claire Zinnecker when I entered the Austin market, and we immediately clicked. As an influencer, designer, and all-around creative, Claire had asked me to do her makeup for her wedding, which was going to be featured on the Magnolia Network. The wedding took place at Claire and her husband’s home, with much of the event being beautifully DIYed. Between managing the event, shooting the show, and hosting at their home, it was an incredibly busy day—and like many weddings, not as many photos were taken as they might have hoped.
Fast forward a year, Claire and her husband decided to commemorate their 1-year anniversary with a special wedding-inspired photoshoot to truly capture them as a couple. This shoot was a chance to celebrate their love in a more relaxed setting and finally get the stunning photos they had dreamed of.
Claire is as down-to-earth as they come—she’s a farmer, designer, and DIY-er, and she always gravitates toward natural, approachable beauty. For this shoot, we kept her makeup soft and radiant to complement her effortless style. But, since we’d worked together a few times before, Claire was open to a fun twist! We decided to celebrate this special anniversary with a bold lip, adding just the right amount of playfulness to her timeless, natural look.
It’s always a joy working with someone as creative and kind as Claire. This anniversary shoot felt like the perfect way to capture their love story in its truest form—natural, beautiful, and full of heart.
