Engagements | Rachel & Aaron continued...

Remember these two? Here are their snow photos, as promised! We came back to school from Christmas break to find the town covered in snow, and got to the orchard as quickly as possible. And just as I thought, these photos turned out so well!

This couple just make my day every time I get to see them. They are always so happy and fun, and the love and friendship between them radiates. Any man who can make his woman laugh like nothing else is funnier is deserving of her love.

Riddle for you: What do you get when you put two nerdy best friends together to take photos?



Answer:

Portraits | Sara & Nick

My first autumn shoot! Thank you to my best friend and her husband for allowing me to share a few laughs and an afternoon with them. The weather was nice, although cold, the leaves were perfect, and these two are still as wonderful as ever. What another great opportunity to come my way. Life is so full of opportunities, and I keep seeing more and more every day; more opportunities that I've already experienced, more that I've worked hard to make happen, and some that I'm so lucky to just be blessed with.

Look for the opportunities, not the road blocks.

Engagements | Sam²

I met Samantha and Samuel before they even knew each other; Samantha I met years ago as youth at church and we were great acquaintances until more recently, Samuel is a good friend I've gotten to know through the Young Single Adult branch we attend at church. Both are beautiful, loving people with inspiring personalities and so much faith. I'm so grateful to be friends with them, and even more grateful to be their engagement photographer!

Love is beautiful.

Events | Emily's Birthday

Emily is a good friend. She's fun and stylish, she's a great mother to her adorable sons, and she had a birthday party!

The guests at the party were requested to come in costume, and they all did a fantastic job. The decorations and food were quirky and delicious, and provided interesting photo subjects. After the food, the games came out. It was Minute to Win it. Basically, the player has one minute to complete a task that (at this party) they randomly chose out of a container. Some of them were particularly hard, but with such competitive couples it was quite entertaining for everyone.

Can you guess who the couples are dressed as?

Engagements | Troy and Sarah

These two are adorable in their own "We spend way too much time together" kind of way. I met Sarah at a church event and we became fast friends. Knowing she was engaged I was immediately thinking of all the wonderful things she would get to plan and experience between then and getting married - and that includes the photography. The thought that I could be their photographer never did come to my mind until months later. Now here I am, taking engagement photos with good friends.

The photos I took of them way back in November 2010 were so badly done that I just had to take more as soon as I bought my current camera.

These next photos will be much more enjoyable. I'm so blessed that I could afford the camera I have now. :)
