Almost wedding time! {by natalie}

I am beyond excited to be photographing Katie & Jeff's wedding this coming weekend! We set aside some time last week to get together & chat about the specifics around their wedding day...but first we headed out to one of my favorite little sunny spots for some engagement photos! It's always hard at this time of the year to pick a good sunny evening...seems like it gets cloudier and darker by the day but we had some beautiful light to work with! Congratulations you two & can't wait for this weekend!  

the end of winter | engagement session {by natalie}

The end of winter means the beginning of wrapping up wedding plans for these two! I had the idea for this session in the works for quite some time and I'm incredibly lucky that Stephanie an Aaron were willing to wait until I said "Today is the day!"...from the crisp white snow and warmer-than-cool temperatures to the setting sun I think it all came together beautifully! Stephanie and Aaron were quite the troopers for me as well...the road to this particular park was closed so we had to hoof it there through the melting snow...I thought it was pretty treacherous, my boots were soaked (!) but that's nothing for these two. As avid campers, hikers and mountain climbers, and by mountain climbers I mean SERIOUS ROCK CLIMBERS who like hang off the side of cliffs, I think they got a kick out of my apologies about having to walk in the snow!

Adored

Lindsey and David are...well...they're pretty much adorable...all the time. Before our wedding consultation I exchanged a handful of emails with Lindsey that left me thinking, "boy, I hope they hire me!" I think I actually told them that if they didn't hire me I at least wanted to be friends with them. They are CLEARLY in love. I mean, total, complete, googly eyes and butterfly kisses IN LOVE. And did I mention that they're funny? And did I mention that as luck would have it we're even neighbors?! Our engagement session was pretty much perfect. They found a gorgeous nature park and we were graced with unbelievably beautiful morning light and just the right temperature for snuggling. I cannot wait for their wedding next March and for what promises to be an awesome friendship with truly wonderful people. Congrats to Lindsey and David!!!
