"The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don't have to explain things with words." ~Elliott Erwitt

I love this quote.  One of the hardest parts about this adventure is passing off a gallery and not being there when they watch.  Not knowing what they think.  What are their favorites?  A lot of time I am guessing they aren't the same as mine.  I would love to sit with them and tell them why I LOVE each image in a gallery.  Because as I put a gallery together I get so excited with each image I add.  

So, when I capture moments for people I always hope that they really don't need a lot of words to explain the pictures.  I always hope that the feelings and emotions captured tell the story all on their own.  And I was so honored that this couple, who recently became engaged, allowed me to capture their story.  I think you can definitely tell that this couple is not only relaxed and natural,  but also fun, happy, and in love.   Here are a few of the moments I captured with a  few rambles on why I LOVE some of them.

I try with each family to bring in a little something that is "all them" and for this couple they have a love of fun beers.  So what better way to relax in front of the camera than over a cold brew!

I never knew that the hand slap game could be so romantic....and give a glimpse of....

a future moment...the one where she says "I do"....I mean look at that look <3 <3

 They are ready to tackle this journey called life together, side by side.

Congrats A & B!

 I love that my candid style can bring out the love and fun a couple shares. I would love to do more engagement or couples pictures.  So. Much. FUN!  If you know someone who is looking to capture their love whether they are just beginning the journey or are celebrating an anniversary....send them my way!!!!
