Can’t believe I didn’t get these posted before the wedding…grrr….So, if you follow me on facebook you’ve already seen quite a few previews of Cassy and Jenson’s gorgeous wedding.  Their engagement session includes more of the same :)  Since Cassy and Jenson chose to have a short engagement (love that–I was engaged for over a year and hated it!), we were so thankful that it warmed up early this year to sneak this session in before the wedding!

Cass and I had shared numerous emails and pinterest boards up to this point so I already had a good idea of her style and also the look they were creating for their wedding, which helped in finding the perfect settings for their images!

A little earthy, a little sparkle.  And this is about where the drama started for the night….We had some wind issues with our sparkly look.  Oh well, we made it happen…then as I was tromping through the field, I stomped onto the biggest thorn!  The thing was instantly buried in my heel and it hurt!  Cassy to the rescue..I still can’t believe she had tweazers in her bag!  When I finally got it out of my foot, it looked less like a thorn and more like a TREE!  So that was our drama for the night, glad it only lasted a few minutes ;)

Really, Cassy…you’re what I call “roll out of bed pretty,” meaning you probably awake each morning looking like this…and I hate you ;)

These two have the best body language/chemistry/affection….seriously.

Honestly, could these two be any cuter together?!  And Jenson can pull off the suspender look better than anyone I’ve ever met!

I love that we finished the session at Jenson’s grandparent’s house, sitting on the bank of their pond in the old boat.  Jenson and Cassy, thank you so much for a fun night…and for saving me from a possible life-threatening splinter…and for not thinking I create drama wherever I go ;)  I will have wedding images for you very soon!!!!!

Tomorrow is THE day for Brooke and Adam!  I’m more than looking forward to meeting their friends and families as I’ve been told this party is going to be epic!  If those in attendance are anything like Brooke and Adam, I know that will be the case.  I loved Brooke from our first email.  Very straight forward and to the point.  Something I can appreciate since I’ve been accused of that myself over the years ;)  When we met over coffee a few months ago to discuss details it was like we had been friends forever!  Hugs all around :)

The first thing everyone notices when they meet Brooke is her smile.  It’s infectious!  And Adam is perfect complement to her…a little more reserved and he laughs at her jokes…a match made in Heaven ;)

We weren’t sure we would have time to sneak in an engagement session before their wedding.  But thanks to Indiana’s bi-polar weather and our 80+ degree temps in MARCH, we made it happen and didn’t even freeze to death in the process!

Bring on the party guys!!!  See you tomorrow :)

Kristin and Mark’s wedding is coming up SOON–as in next Saturday :) We’ve been sending lots of messages back and forth lately finalizing details and timelines, answering last minute questions,etc.  What I realized quickly is that with each email, she doesn’t sound more frazzled…she sounds more and more EXCITED for the day to arrive!  I am so looking forward to their wedding being exactly the same!

We planned their engagement session in Celina, Ohio, always a favorite place to visit as it is where my dad grew up and where we visited my Grandparents on the lake often.  I love any excuse to get over there!  We met EARLY to catch some great light which was super bright that day.  Kristin and Mark were instantly at ease and laughing it up…so fun to work with couples who love to laugh!

We started at the lake, headed into town and then back out to our starting point at Wright State.  The campus is right on the water and we couldn’t resist including a shot with the boat.  I also found out that this was actually the  place of their very first kiss!

The theatre is another special place for Kristin and Mark…as the story goes, they first met coaching swim team.  It wasn’t until four years later that they returned to coaching after finishing college.  The fateful night happened when their two teams met to compete and the bet was born…loser buys drinks after (Kristin’s team lost but Mark still paid for those drinks.  Already a good sign!)  :)  The very next weekend, they had their first official date at the movies where they saw Funny People (which they both agree was terrible!).  But Kristin’s version also includes Mark falling asleep during the flick.  Mark still denies it!  After the movie (and Mark’s nap), they drove out to Wright State where they found a bench that faced the water and “made out like high schoolers!”  Kristin tells it like it is….I love her!

Kristin and Mark, your wedding is going to be FABULOUS!  Can’t wait for the day to be here and celebrate with you!!!
