Ben & Chelsea’s engagement session left me giddy for days!!! This sweet couple is getting married next year in the exact spot we took their engagement photos, which happens to be property that has been in Ben’s family for YEARS (think of all the memories this special land holds!). After spending just a few hours with Ben & Chelsea, I simply cannot wait to spend more time with them on their wedding day!!!

Chelsea & Ben have a relationship deeply rooted in friendship — these two started out as close friends and spent most of their time going to the library together. Gradually, that friendship grew into something more and they quickly realized their love was the real deal. One day out of the blue, Ben turned to Chelsea and said, “No matter what, I will always treat you right — the way you deserve.” From that moment, Chelsea knew that Ben would be in her life forever! How sweet is that?!

When Chelsea first emailed me, she sang Ben’s praises and described him as “kind-hearted”. Although I knew he would be, that word didn’t really pierce me until I met Ben. Kind-hearted is quite possibly the best word to describe Ben: he is beyond thoughtful, considerate, affectionate, and warm… AND in the middle of all of those wonderful characteristic is Chelsea, the is center of his world. Chelsea is currently studying to be a nurse and after spending a ton of time in the medical world, I can tell you that Chelsea is exactly the type of person I would want taking care of my loved ones. Her demeanor is gentle & kind mixed with a cheerful attitude that is positively contagious!

Ben & Chelsea, I left your session feeling like I had gained two wonderful new friends and honestly — that is exactly how I hope you feel as I stand next to you on your wedding day. Cheers to the beautiful life you’re building together! Xo

I absolutely adore the laugher in this one!!!

I LOVE this set!!

Kissing in the rain?! So romantic!
