this has got to be my most favorite engagement session to date.
the shoot started off at the home of grace & dustin.
first of all - their house was magic - pure magic!
then we proceeded to riverside/downtown & had some good exercise walking around and laughing together.
despite the heat and wind, this duo brought the amazing-ness!
i thoroughly enjoyed photographing these two lovies.
they definitely brought it! :)

enjoy!

thanks to my best friend, amanda, i was introduced to her good friends - haleigh & drew!
it's a positively vicious cycle of meeting amazing people. :)

yesterday - the four of us (amanda included) walked about town and photographed the love and engagement celebration of these two adorable people.
can't wait to photograph their wedding this fall!

congratulations haleigh & drew!
so glad we met and i look forward to our days together and friendship!
enjoy!

some time ago, i did an e-session of my younger cousin/brother and his beautiful fiancee.
you're probably wondering, how the heck are they related??
i'm glad you asked. :)
i met robert when i was the tot age of 6 and he was 4ish.
we were related by marriage up until i was 17.
we pretty much grew up together and will forever be family in our hearts.
if anything, he and his three siblings are my own brothers & sister.
all of them are incredibly special and so very dear to me.

fast forward many moons.
and here he is.
a grown man and engaged to his wonderful fiancee, jessica!!
i was so honored they asked me to photograph their wedding next may.
and i'm so happy to be able to display their love for one another.

love you robert & jess!!!
enjoy!!

once upon a time, i decided to take a photography basics class.
in this class was a beautiful girl with the same desire to learn photography.
one day, this girl and i decided to start a conversation where we found a budding friendship.
many days later, she emails me to tell me she had one of the most amazing things happen to her in life - she became engaged to her love.
which leads to today. me displaying the love and laughter of this adorable couple.
and i wish them a life of happily ever afters!!

so happy to know you lacy. and happy to have met you, brian.
enjoy! :)
