I just had to share some FILM yumminess I just received back from RPL. I’ve been praying that they turn out decent..since my in-camera metering quit on me. This is one of my favorites.

So beautiful : )

“She loves me unconditionally”… says Wes. Wes, of course is referring to Megan- the love of his life. She was the ‘beautiful blonde’ he met at friend’s home but were too bashful to strike up a conversation. Megan however noticed him a week prior at Applebee’s while dining with a girl friend. She KNEW she had to meet him then! Weeks passed… Wes decided to call and make his first move. Not expecting a call, Megan’s heart raced when he called for the first time. They hit it off from the first minute.. like old friends. They could talk about anything and everything. They were comfortable with each other and everything felt SO right. They recalled lovingly : )

Wes has no fear apparently, when he decided it was time to propose. It was Friday the 13th and it was their usual date night, on the couch watching 20/20. He joked that they should just elope and get married. Megan said OK! Let’s go. Without wasting a moment, he pulled out a ring, on his knees proposing for real. Megan said yes {again}! Surprised, smittened, excited all rolled into 1. Love how she looks at Wes….

They enjoy the simple things in life. Together, they are at ease doing every day things like watching tv and playing with their dogs. So, they decided to document their engagement at Buck’s Place in Leatherwood- a property belonging to Wes’ uncle. It was THE perfect setting for them. Totally quiet, natural, and a place they can go to enjoy each other’s company.

The property had everything! A field, a tree, a pond, a dirt path, a boat! What could be more perfect?!

Have I mentioned how awesome this is? I can shoot here all day : ) Megan and Wes were brave enough to climb into the restored wooden boat for a few quick snaps.

Exactly a month from now, they will be Mr & Mrs.! I can’t wait for their romantic outdoor/ barn wedding : )

See you then : )

p.s. Yummy FILM images to come…

SPECIAL THANKS to Jemma Gayheart for Megan’s ‘girl-next-door’ makeover. Megan, you were gorgeous!!

Little Noah (named after his Great grandfather) is a little charmer. Barely a week old, he is already LOVED by many…especially his beautiful mom Keshia and dad Chris. Keshia, if you remember was my wedding assistant for the last 2 years. She has been an incredible help to me and now a new Mom! No doubt she will be busy but I’m confident she will achieve her dreams and enjoy little Noah along the way..

Handmade crochet blanket, beanie and booties- gifts from Keshia’s uncle.

awww…. yes, I was thinking the same : )

CONGRATULATIONS Keshia & Chris!! Thank you so much for this honor of capturing Noah’s FIRST pics : )
