Meredith and Brian…engaged!
Feb 16th 2012
Meredith and Brian and I had the hardest time getting an engagement session scheduled last fall… We scheduled a date, and it rained, we scheduled another date, and it rained, and on and on and on… We truly thought Mother Nature had a serious grudge against us for some reason.
We finally decided to move forward with our session on a day that looked pretty horrible, but was predicted by our handy dandy weather apps to get better as the day went on. The weather apps were wrong.
It was only a little bit drizzly when we began…although it was crazy dark and gloomy out.
But then it started pouring on us. The only way you can really tell is by watching Meredith’s hair get wet… Meredith and Brian really composed themselves well, even in the pouring rain!
We finally admitted defeat…and I told them that we would try again. We were getting closer and closer to their wedding date, but we were determined to make it happen. And then the cycle began again. We would schedule a session, and it would rain… over and over and over again. Finally, we selected a date and refused to look at the weather. We hoped to trick Mother Nature into forgetting what we were doing. It worked :) We met for another session, and I had the opportunity to capture some of my favorite engagement images ever.
Meredith and Brian are crazy about each other, and that always makes a session easier.
And they make quite the attractive couple, so it was almost hard to take a bad picture of them!
Isn’t Meredith a stunner?
And on top of all of that… we had PERFECT light to work with! It was completely worth the wait to get these sun-kissed shots.
Finally, I’ll leave you with my favorite shot of the session… and one of my favorite images I’ve ever captured. This belongs on their wall somewhere… huge. I just love it when everything comes together perfectly.
I’ll be back with images from their wedding sometime soon… I swear I’m going to try to be nicer to this blog. It has to have been lonely.
xoxo
