Engagement Session: Alison And Bobby

'Tis the age for marriages!

Upon reaching my mid twenties, I have found that what they say is true. My friends are starting to get married.

I really could not be happier. 

I have always been someone who loves weddings. Who doesn't love a good party celebrating two people being so happy? 

Back in April, my friends Bobby and Alison got engaged. There comes a time as a photographer when you are doing just enough business that your friends no longer feel obligated to ask you to make you feel good about yourself. I'm not sure if I'm there yet or not, but I definitely was waiting to see if they would ask me to do their engagement photos. Which they clearly did.

I'm in the wedding, so they're off the hook for that one.

Surprisingly, we were able to do all of the photos right in Alison's back yard. Her mom has a house on a gorgeous property. There were a particular row of trees (pictured below) that I could not get enough of. The light! The lines! It was photographer heaven. 

Special kudos to Bobby for wearing long sleeves and long pants in what was not the most forgiving summer day. He hardly broke a sweat. I've seen men in much less difficult weather get clammy just from seeing the camera lens.

They are so very clearly in love and found a great rhythm during the shoot. It hardly took any time at all, and we got a huge variety of shots. I loved them all and had some real difficulty choosing which ones to edit. 

Can't wait to party with them next August!
