First off: The bling. Yesssss.

Next: The man who put the bling on my finger. He liked it so he put a ring on it (I had that song in my head for DAYS afterward!)

A few days later at Thunder over Louisville. Yep, I was still pretty darn excited about my ring :)

I’m so, so in love with this man. I spent some time typing up our story the other day, so, rather than rewriting or pasting it: to read about our love story and engagement, you can read it here on our wedding website!

Angie + Phillip

May 19, 2010

These two are in love, and it’s wonderful.

Angie and I met in my New Testament class last semester at school. (By the way, she and I are both now official Southern Seminary graduates! Whoop!) Before class one day as I was flippin’ through my Google Reader looking at photography blogs, the wedding images I was looking at caught her eye. The second time we ended up sitting next to each other, she said that she didn’t want to sound like a stalker, but she wondered what photographers I was looking at, for she was interested in getting some photos of her and her man. I said, oh well, they are mostly all these famous people out in California and elsewhere… and then, timidly… “but, I, um, I actually am, um, a photographer myself…if you might… you know… be interested in seeing my stuff?” <sheepish grin>

Well, since that time, Angie and I have been good buddies and she rejoiced with me when I got engaged to the man of my dreams… and I celebrated with her as she and Phillip began to make future plans. The two met through a mutual friend, and though Phillip lives out on the East Coast, they have made this thing work. He flew to the ‘ville to see his lady graduate, and so we were able to play around in the park and have a good ol’ time. Phillip– even though you don’t like feet– this image was too cool not to shoot. Sorry :)

Ever since we began talking about ideas for her shoot, Angie was totally flexible– but she would always manage to throw in something about her “cuddling with her man under a tree.” I knew we had to work a tree in somehow… and though tree shots can often be a little overdone, I found this tree which was TO DIE FOR, dontcha agree?

Girl– you SO worked it. I just kept telling Phillip what a gorgeous lady he got. And… as for this pose– it was totally HIS idea! It came out so, so fun! Way to go Phillip!

Engaged! Katie + Shawn

May 17, 2010

Katie has been my sister’s best friend since they were in the third grade. We were co-maids of honor in Amy’s wedding, and I have seen Katie grow into this beautiful young woman. She’s a teacher, a blossoming photographer, and a very crafty lady! We’ve had a relationship the past several months talking about photography related things, and I was thrilled that she is entrusting me with photos of her and her man for their big day. Katie and Shawn are getting married on December 31st- whooo New Years Eve wedding! She’s going to have clocks evvverywhere (I know this because Amy brought about 20 of them with her– the girls are buying out Walmarts clock supply all across the nation!)

Anyways, Katie and Shawn are a great couple… and they were totally willing to do whatever crazy thing I asked of them (like go on the other side of this wall and make fish faces!) Thanks for a super fun shoot, guys!
