I couldn’t have wished for anything more perfect for my first engagement session of 2019! It was in the middle of a BLIZZARD (literally, it was snowing sideways!) , there was an adorable pup, and the just sweetest couple! Megan and Lorenzo are getting married this December and how it all lined up that we got snow for their engagement session, was pure perfection! (thanks Mother Nature!) I had a BLAST with these three! I’m not going to lie and say we weren’t freezing our tushes off because we definitely were! It was 25 degrees with wind that could blow you over! Snow flakes blasting you in your eyes, sniffles, wet boots, and frozen fingers, it was COLD! But I don’t think I have to convince you that it was all so worth it because just LOOK at these two! You can’t even tell they were cold because we were having such a good time! They were so into each other and did the best they could to keep each other warm but hey, it made them snuggle up just a little bit tighter and I LOVED it!
Megan texted me a few days before their session and asked if it was okay if they brought their pup to the shoot and if I even allowed that. Let this be my invitation to EVERY couple that steps foot in front of my camera, YES YES and YES! I LOVE dogs! I think they are just as important in your family and having them be included in this special shoot will make it that much more meaningful! Harley was extra special because she was actually a part of Lorenzo’s proposal!! He asked Megan to be his wife the same way he asked her to be his girlfriend by tying a note to Harley’s collar! How CUTE is that! So of course, she HAD to be included in their engagement session! Without a doubt! Megan even got crafty and made her a floral collar! (I love my fellow DIY babes!!)
I am SO SO excited to capture these two tie the knot later this year in December and I hope we have such as much snow as we did during their engagement session! (because that would be MAGICAL!!) These two are just such sweet people and I’m honored to be a part of their story! I hope you enjoy some of my absolute FAVORITES from our time together!! This session might look cold, but it will for sure melt your heart!
These are hands down some of my all time favorite winter photos to date! This location was absolutely PERFECT with this snow!!
Megan is a HUGE rose gold fan and I am literally OBSESSED with her engagement ring! Great job Lorenzo!! It is stunning!!
