Military Engagement

Since the young man in these images is in the military I wanted to keep their identification private (no pun intended). For that reason I blurred out the name on his uniform and will just be referring to them as bride and groom. :)

I met this bride on a stormy evening at a Starbucks way to packed to be conducting business very easily. Her parents came with her to this consultation where we booked their wedding and engagement pictures. While we were meeting (outside) it started to rain so we ended up sitting in the families big Chevy Suburban to finish filling out contracts and forms. It was pretty nasty outside and even though it wasn't much of a walk to my car her dad insisted on driving me to my car when we were done, where he told me to buckle up and be very careful.... I love caring Dads!

I met later that week with the bride and groom (and her parents) to do their engagement session. I've photographed at this location before (its a common photography place) but it was fun finding new places to take them to shoot.

We started out with the groom in street clothes.

The bride joked that this stairwell was a "killers stairwell" it was kinda creepy looking.

After posing in street clothes we headed inside for them to change.

The Brides mom requested a picture of her and her husband, I was happy to do it for them.

Finally we took a few more photos, after a 2hr photo shoot and over 200 images later we called it a night!

It was so much fun working with these two... Um I mean four..... I can't wait for their wedding which is a short time away in Sept.

Congratulations and Thank you young man for your service!
