As downtown Austin continues to grow at a rapid pace, I continue to love searching for cool new session spots to photograph at. I love finding new locations downtown to create memorable and unique images for my couples! We had such a blast walking around downtown Austin creating these Seaholm Power Plant engagement photos, and I know their wedding day will be just as much fun. I love how the Seaholm combines both the new and the old of Austin, with personality, heart and incredible architecture as backdrops. I also love how Lauren’s yellow dress pops so dramatically with color against the more modern architectural neutrals.

But of course I couldn’t resist incorporating the colorful pillars and red geometric sculpture outside the downtown Austin Central Library either. And this new bridge has been affectionately nicknamed “The Butterfly Bridge”. Located on Second Street, the bridge is a canted arch concept spanning approximately 160 ft. The overdeck supporting elements of the arch bridge are a pair of trapezoidal-shaped steel ribs each with a network arrangement of galvanized wire rope hangers connected above deck to the girder framing. The composite deck slab provides two 12 ft. traffic lanes. A central utility corridor between the box girders accommodates multiple utility lines which cross the bridge. Outrigger beams extend from the longitudinal box girder system and carry a curved pedestrian sidewalk, varying from 12 ft. to 14 ft. in width. I hope you enjoyed checking out these Seaholm Power Plant engagement photos and Butterfly Bridge engagement photos as well.
