Liz and Kyle had a lovely engagement session, I MISS meeting new people (as I’m writing this in 2021 and have not shot many engagements or weddings due to the pandemic). These two are so sweet on each other, they talk softly and gently to each other and whisper silly things. They hold each other close and they support each other in their life goals and endeavors. They make decisions together and aim to be the best team TOGETHER, and with the coming of the pandemic they had the biggest challenging of having to move their wedding date much like many couples in 2020. I can’t wait to see them again because I love me a sweet couple who just love hanging out with each other and being chill while sweetly loving on each other!

Kristal and Steve have been together FOREVER, and they just can NOT wait to be officially married, but sometimes life takes you in different directions and we learn that there are no set of rules that are made for everyone AND THATS OK. Repeat after me, Someone else’s steps are not the same as your steps in life. Don’t come for these two because LOOK AT HOW FREAKIN’ adorable they are. People talk about the Passion they feel with someone new, but not a lot of people talk about the subtlties of love with someone you’ve loved forever, the freakin’ stupid phrases they say that make you shake your head and laugh, the faces they make when no one else is watching, and the revisiting fun times together that remind you why you two are together. Can we talk about that more? can we talk about how great a team couple’s are when they are together? Because those things are important in love, and in marriage! Kristal and Steve, we are SO CLOSE, I can’t wait to see you two again soon!

These two just love to laugh with each other… CONSTANTLY, and its the best! Whether its when Ben says something silly or mildly existential out of context, or when Kevin tells an engaging story, they just love to highlight all the funny and good moments. This was definitely one of those times when laughing together means crazy amounts of good times during our session. Nervous at first, we quickly moved into a comfortable place to create hugely cool photos while also LAUGHING their butts off. Indie Cover band couple anyone?

These two are completely in love, you can tell by how much giggling they were doing throughout this entire engagement session. Even though you can’t hear them giggling and chittering away at telling each other sweet nothings. You can tottaly see the amount of laughing. COMMON MOTIF: Making each other laugh, one of many ingredients to love.

Cue haters of super sweet statements

Tamara and Luisa are such a fun couple. They love to be silly, they love spending time with each other, and they LOVE to LAUGH. Our engagement session was filled with so much laughing, and loving and cuddling. There was even a bit of adventurousness, and some derpy climbing with attempts to not slip into the thawing river, but maybe I'll let them explain that one ;-). On to the cute photos!

Compassion for others runs through the blood of these two, and when two kind hearts come together, it becomes so apparent that they carry their compassion through into their relationship. Although they live in NYC now, I can't wait for their Wedding! There were a lot of laughs and a lot of conversations that were had that might very well be embarrassing (but I couldn't hear it, i swear!). I don't know what they are like apart, but together they are calm and collected, hearts of ease and comfort. Let me show you what we made that day!

Engagement Sessions are super fun, they help couples get comfortable in front of the camera, but I also get to find out more about them, and draw out their personalities and special interests whilst keeping everything casual and focused on them. Its the perfect thing to take up from a photographer if they offer it as part of their wedding packages because it help you get ready for what to expect on the wedding day. Here are some of my favorites from the 2016 Year!

Have I said Fall was my favorite yet? BECAUSE COLORS. It was a beautifully fall day filled with colors and it was almost too much for me to handle all the excitement. They are having their wedding in Fall around the same time! What a dream! I can't wait for their Wedding! This strong opinionated and loving woman is ready to marry this easy going, tough and understanding man!
