Jonathan Ivy Photography describes Ali and Matthew’s sweet e-shoot as “Marilyn Monroe meets John Wayne” – a dashing diva paired with a rugged outdoorsman! I love when an engagement session really shows a couple’s personalities like this. Ali and Matthew spent a day in March in The Woodlands in North Houston, Texas, at the Mercer Botanical Gardens and Creekwood Park with their dog Dash.
