Emily and Adam: Engaged!

Emily loves engagement pictures. Adam....not so much. Understandable, right? Guys usually are not so into looking at photos of them being lovey, even when they are getting married to the love of their life. He was a trooper though and channeled his inner model so Emily would get the photos she loves--sweet, huh?
Here are a few of my favorites from the session. There were so many good ones, it was hard to pick!
This is what true love looks like :)

Love Emily's ring!

Congratulations Emily and Adam. I can't wait till your wedding next year!

Sylvia & Mike: Engaged!

Sylvia and Mike are getting married in only a few short weeks. We had a gorgeous day with great clouds for these photos. Sylvia and Mike are such a great couple--Can't wait for the wedding!

Beth & Randy: Engaged!

Beth and Randy are such a cute couple--so sweet and both such nice people. We did their engagement pictures on a very, very hot day, but we persevered and got some great shots. Here are some of my favorites. Can't wait till the wedding in October!

Kristen and Scott: Engaged!

Kristen and I used to work together back in the day when I worked for the man. This was the first time I had met Scott, and it was so obvious that they are made for each other. The session was non-stop laughs--they are hilarious together. They keep each other, and anyone around them laughing nearly constantly. I can't wait for the wedding. See you in August!

Erin and Dan: Engaged!

Erin and Dan are such a cute couple--we did these engagement shots on an exceptionally hot day, but you can even tell by how great they came out! I can't wait till their wedding in August! Here are a few of my faves...

Ruth and Chris: Engaged!

I'm almost through my editing backlog! We did Ruth and Chris's engagement pics a few weeks ago. Ruth has really sensitive eyes and was worried that she would be squinting the whole time, and of course, it was a really sunny day! I thought she did great though, and we got some really good shots. Here are a few faves.

Stacy and Jorge

Still working through my backlog of editing, here are some of my favorites from Stacy and Jorge's engagement session. They are such a great couple and I can't wait for their wedding. The reception is at a fire house, which I think will be fabulous for photos. Blogger seems to be having some issues uploading photos right now, so here are the few I was able to upload.

Abbey & Scott

Abbey and Scott are such a cute couple--I did these shots a few weeks ago but am just poting now as I am working through my backlog of editing. I loved so many of these images--it was hard to pick just a few to post. The day was really sunny, but the sky was amazing! Enjoy :)

Shannon and Blake

This past weekend I got to hang out with Shannon and Blake and shoot their engagement pictures. We braved the slightly chilly weather and did the whole session outside. They are such a cute couple--I can't wait till their wedding in June! Here are a few of my faves from the sitting.

Casino Night Winners!

One of the things I wanted to do more of this year was supporting charities, communities, and causes that I believe in. Every year my neighborhood holds a Casino Night, and this year, attendees were able to bid on items donated by local area businesses with their gambling winnings. I love the fact that our 'hood does so much to foster the sense of community here, so I donated a gift certificate and Ken and Courtney were the winners! Aren't they so cute?
They are getting married later this year out of state, so I won't be doing their wedding, but it was great to have the opportunity to do their engagement sitting. Ken told me that there was actually a bidding war on my gift certificate, can you believe it?! According to the organizers of the event, only 2 other items went for more money! Wow!

Andrea & Greg

In the midst of all my bridal show prep last weekend, I got to take engagement pictures for Andrea and Greg. Even though it was quite chilly, they agreed to do some shots outdoors, which I really liked. There was a series of shots that went together so well I was inspired to put them together with a quote I had recently seen. Here is the composite:

The rest of the shots were really fun as well. We split the session between the studio and outdoors, which resulted in a really nice mix of formal and casual shots. I also had some fun in photoshop :) Here are a few more of my favorites.
