This e-session was my most anticipated ever. First, they were bringing their bulldog, which made it incredibly hard to wait for their session to take place. I was like a kid on Christmas. Second, from the first email Katie sent me, we clicked. It was as if she was one of my oldest friends – like I had known her forever. We have so much in common it’s unreal. Last but not least, Ralph. He is getting deployed immediately following their wedding in July. You can sense their anticipation – their need to spend every moment together and just, well, be. Be happy. Be free. Be in love. I have never seen so much love radiate between two people. Take a peek and enjoy.

Look at that mug.

Love, love, love these next two. Tell me you can’t feel it – I dare you.

I suggested eloping… they weren’t going for it…

Bam. Look at that beauty.

There’s just something about them.

Something fun. Something goofy. Something genuine.

Meet Brandon and Ro. When he wasn’t being silly to make her laugh, they were looking at each other with the most intense love I’ve ever witnessed.

They definitely have that something. I’m honored to capture it.

I couldn’t get enough of their shoes. I had to force myself to stop taking pictures of them.

Bam. Look at those eyes. Such a beauty.

These are my favorite photos of them. So genuine.

Wait. Maybe these are.

Andray + Kellye {engaged}

Man, what a gorgeous fall weekend we had a few days ago! I’ve been itching to get out shooting with all of the beautiful colors on display, and got just the chance to do that. Meet Andray and Kellye. They met one night cruising Powers… Kellye did exactly what her mother would tell her not to do : she pulled over to talk to him {a complete stranger}. Sparks flew and it’s been love ever since. Sometimes it pays to not listen to your parents.

And Kellye was afraid she was going to look goofey in all of the photos. What a knockout.

Somehow we managed to get a little lost at Garden of the Gods. Good thing Andray has a built in self Tom-Tom.
