Lauren and Clay | Engagement

Had a wonderful time hanging out with Lauren and Clay. It seems like I hadn’t seen them in forever.  We were really pumped that the weather warmed up over the weekend and I could document the love between these two without freezing our butts off!

I absolutely love how their fun personalities shine in these photos!

Thank you guys so much for everything. I so enjoyed hanging out with you guys and absolutely love how your photos turned out!  Thanks for being awesome clients and I can’t wait to document your beautiful wedding soon!

Brandon and Rachel {passionate} [Engagement]

It was just such an awesome pleasure for us to meet Brandon and Rachel in Hawaii.  They are such an amazing couple. Full of life. Fun to be around. Extremely in love.  Cool as all get out.  They’re just beautiful people inside and out.  I just feel like we became fast friends with them and we miss them like crazy already.  Can’t believe they’re 11 hours (flying time) away.  It’s just crazy to think about.  Oh man… I’m going to quit writing this paragraph because it’s just making me wish I had a time machine to travel back two weeks.

Meet Brandon. He is our wonderful friend Leigh’s nephew and moved to Hawaii about a year ago to become the golf pro at the Mauna Kea golf resort.

Meet Rachel. She’s the super sweet girl who decided to move half way around the world because of love.  Someone should write a book (or movie) about these two.

I was absolutely thrilled they wanted me to photograph them. Two beautiful people in one the most beautiful places on earth? Sign me up.  They were awesome in front of the camera and I just loved working with them. We had so much fun on this photoshoot that I was on an emotional high for the longest time!

No more talking!  Photos!  Check these two out!

We found a black sand beach! They were watching a sea turtle bob his head up and down out of the ocean.

I just want to apologize to Brandon and Rachel. I’m from Tennessee. I had NO idea how painful it was to get your jeans full sand. It’s like walking around wearing sandpaper… literally!  I got to try it out about two days later with our photoshoot with Leslie (pics coming soon to this blog).  But you’ve got to admit though… these pics made it totally worth it! Am I not right!?

How amazing is this couple!?  I just want to comment on ALL of the photos above but will just let the pics speak for themselves.

Brandon and Rachel:  It was just so amazing meeting you guys. Can not express to you how much I loved working with you two.  Heather and I want to see you both again so badly!  Everyone just accepting Heather and I into the Janous family dynamic and we are just so blessed and grateful to call you our new friends!  Thank you!

Ronella & Skyler [engagement]

So excited that Ronella and Skyler picked me to photograph their wedding. From the very first meeting I had with them, I went on about how cool their names are.  Ronella’s sister is a fantastic family photographer in Birmingham and wanted to do the photographs but she’ll actually be IN the wedding.  So Ronella picked me! Woot!

Ronella and Skyer both are just fun, passionate people that are completely, madly in love with one another. It was definitely a joy to be around them and photograph their session.  We were having so much fun, it was hard to be serious at times! The results I couldn’t be more thrilled with! Check out a few of my favorites below!

After hanging downtown for a while, we went up to Lookout Mountain to finish our session at Sunset Rock. What a beautiful place!

We hiked in and knew I was in trouble when I had to go back up to the top.  Talk about winded! But I finally made it.

It’s so hard to choose my favorites. I was about to put “I love this photo!” above every one of them but decided I didn’t want to annoy my blog readers.  Hope you enjoyed the photos. Check back for their wedding photos in May of next year. It can’t get here fast enough!
