Engaged and in love

There are a lot of things I love about life...but my favorite thing and what it is all about is relationships. True, meaningful, loving relationships. It's what we were created for, to be in relation or community with one another... That's why I love photographing people so much. Friends and family have often asked me what I prefer to photograph, families, children, babies, or weddings. I really can't answer that question because I love photographing and witnessing ALL those things. There is something so special about each one.

This past weekend I had the honor of photographing a young couple in love. What was so awesome to see about Austin and Stephanie is that they were not ashamed to allow their love for one another to shine through for everyone to see. He was so tender with her and treated her like a princess...and the way she looked at him in return was the stuff that story books are written on. These two are high school sweet hearts who, several years later, are still head over heals for one another. My husband and I are so excited to be able to document their love once again On January 1st when they become husband and wife. Thank you so much to the two of you for sharing these moments with us and trusting us to capture them for you.

It was very hard for me to narrow it down to just a couple of my favorites so I posted a few more than I normally do...hope you enjoy your extended "sneak peek"! Let me know what you all think!

Ok, I love this one because it shows a little of Stephanie's playfulness and you can just tell that Austin enjoys watching her. Way to give me a bit of sass...you know how to work a camera girl!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Austin... Stephanie is not the only one who knows how to work the camera!

A quick outfit change and a 10 minute drive to a different location and BAM...

The lighting God gave us for these shots was incredible! Seriously, I did minimal work to this photo...it's very close to how it looked straight out of the camera...One of my favs!

These are beautiful - I'm so glad that Stephanie found someone she could be comfortable with - that's so very important! Can't wait to see the rest :)
