Engagement | Trent & Savannah

Last month I met up with Savannah & Trent to shoot their engagement session!  I was super excited because this couple is so easy to photograph.  Savannah is absolutely beautiful & is willing to do anything!  She always comes to each session with ideas, which I love!  Trent is handsome & so easy going!  It works out perfectly :) The location they chose was gorgeous.  Beautiful place with beautiful views!  We took a ton of pictures - it was so hard to narrow down!

Ah, that golden evening lighting has me like #emojihearteyes

Can you imagine how gorgeous she will be on her wedding day!?

These last few pictures fit Savannah to a T!  They were all her idea!  And the chalkboard sign she is holding?  She drew the antlers herself!  We also used another sign that she hand drew & wrote their wedding date.  It was like something you would buy at Hobby Lobby (because you know they have the cutest stuff)!  Absolutely beautiful.  I told her I may get her to make some pieces for our home, ha!

tis the season to get married!

At every wedding I attend, help with, or photograph, I always go back in time to the day my husband & I got married.  I am sure that is what every girl that has ever been/is married does though?  When you think back, you don't think about the stress, the struggles, or the tears that lead up to that special day.  You think about all the happy moments that was made on that day!  You think about your first dance with the man you just said "I do" to, the laughs you shared with your girls while getting ready, or something funny that your ring bearer did.  True story - our adorable little ring bearer decided to stop halfway while walking & sit down in the middle of the aisle!  I could see what was going on from a distance.  I was laughing so hard & so was everyone else!  I remember seeing my future husband squat down, speak the little boys name, & then watch him run to my groom.  It was the cutest & funniest thing ever!  It definitely helped ease some of my nerves, ha!

As a bride, you want everything to be picture perfect.  Yes, people will remember some of the gorgeous details you worked oh so hard on, but what they will remember the most is how happy you two were.  They will remember watching you two laugh and smile at each other all evening long.

This Saturday is my first wedding of the year.  I look forward to the first kiss once they have said their "I do's", their first dance, & getting the newlyweds away from everyone else to take special pictures of just the two of them.  I get nervous & excited, just like the bride & groom!  Even when I have been a second shooter for another photographer, I feel the same way.  I may not be the best photographer in the world, but I strive to be the very best that I can be - for myself but most importantly for YOU!
