Thought I would share a few of my favorite’s from Paul & Melinda’s engagement album they’ll be displaying as their wedding guestbook in June. Spring is just around the corner and these photos get me excited about walks in the park and flowers blooming!
It was almost 60° today so I dressed in the brightest white-pink-green combo I could find in my closest. Maybe a little too early for such a bold outfit, but I’m excited for the wedding season to start!
This couple is ridiculous. There, I said it. Ridiculous because they can be so darn cute but so darn sexy and are so darn great at it. Not only that, but Melinda was a real trooper. I had scoped out a field of sunflowers a few weeks before and threw them in to play. After 10 minutes, she was sniffling up a storm since she didn’t tell me she has allergies. At least the photos were definitely worth it. Phew!
Because it was an unusually warm day for fall, Letchworth State Park was full of hikers. I love watching people watch my couples make-out for the camera. They pretend they’re not interested, but are totally trying to sneak peeks in every 5 seconds. Hilarious.
Looking forward to the wedding in June! Enjoy. :)

So I experienced my funniest engagement shoot moment by far with these two goofballs. For those of you who haven’t experienced one of my “enthusiastic sessions”, I usually make my couples repeat the same two actions over and over: 1. kissing and 2. fake laughing. The laughing is there to lighten the mood and it always brings even more giggles.
Well it was getting towards the end of the session and Kyle and Rachele were sitting close with their faces almost touching. I stepped back to compose my shot and said “On the count of 3 you know what to do!” 1.....2....3.....! Rachele leaned in for a saucy romantic kiss just as Kyle blurted out the loudest fake laugh I had ever heard. This of course scared the poo out of Rachele and caused her to jump back in fright, and I almost dropped my camera because I was laughing so hard at this hysterical moment.
Did I catch a photo of this event? Heck no! I was laughing too hard....but I know who to call when I need someone to back up my jokes at a party!

Random, that’s how I’m feeling about this photo. Not in the sense that I dislike it, but I’m listening to jazz and that makes me groove outside my box. But that’s why I’m feeling random, cause what is my box?
As for these two lovebirds.....they are seriously just that. Young and completely head over heels for each other. It was wonderful to witness and even more satisfying to photograph. More to come soon!
