I couldn’t wait for this engagement session! I first met Laura at a “Welcome-Home/Going-Away” party for my cousin and within seconds I could tell how pure & kind her heart was. I’m surprised (and a little sad) our paths never crossed sooner since we share a best-friend! We didn’t talk for very long but there was something about the way Laura communicated and expressed herself that I could instantly tell what an incredible human being she was. When I received an email from Laura saying that she was engaged and she wanted me to photograph their wedding, needless to say I was giddy with excitement!!!

We had to reschedule their original date for an engagement session due to rain but I’m SO glad we did because it was warm, sunny, and downright perfect weather on our backup date! Dylan’s heart is equally as big as Laura’s and you can tell how much he truly cares about her just by the look in his eyes (isn’t that how every girl dreams of being looked at?!). This couple is near and dear to my heart because you can see how authentic and REAL they are together.  It always makes me chuckle when couples say “We’re not photogenic…” or “I just don’t photograph well…” (ahem, check out the very first photo I took of D&L below! So natural!) because I don’t plan to snap a carefully planned photo with a forced smile and stiff body  – I intend on capturing the LOVE & the real moments in their relationship!

Dylan & Laura, I feel so incredibly honored to play a small role on your wedding day – thank you for welcoming me into your lives and I can’t wait to see our new friendship grow! xo
