Crystle + Jamie | Engagement Shoot
Look at these two!
I had the pleasure of photographing Jamie + Crystle today for their engagement shoot! I've been looking forward to their session for some time, and we had a beautiful spring day as a backdrop. Their kiddos Aiden and Bradley also tagged along with us, and I can't believe how much they've grown. We chose a sweet garden setting to explore for their photoshoot. Each time we take photographs, we have more and more fun!
Did I mention that I get to be the photographer for their wedding? I am over the moon with excitement!!
Also, these two are naturals! Usually an engagement session serves as a time to become comfortable with a wedding photographer, but these two didn't need practice :)
They will however, have lots of photos to choose from for their save-the-dates! I honestly can't pick a favorite, I love them all.
I love the little moments that couples share during these photoshoots. Smirks, sweet jokes, and little acts of love. Not only are these two a fantastic couple, but they are wonderful parents to 4 cutie pies.
Absolutely gorgeous couple!
But don't think I forgot about the littles that came to the photoshoot. They got a few candid photos as well! And poor Aiden came down with a fever a few days before our shoot, again. He continues to be a trooper, but I am starting to think he knows when we're taking pictures (; smart cookie.
Bradley found a caterpillar and was fascinated by the idea it would become a butterfly. He held the little guy on a pinecone in the garden. Sweet childhood innocence.
He also told me that he remembered me from the last time we took pictures, and stated that he loved me. He carried Mom's phone and jacket all around the garden wherever we went. This little boy is sure to become a gentleman.
The next time I see these guys, we'll be photographing the entire family of 6 for some spring photos. For those of you planning a wedding, this is the BEST way to have your children get used to a random individual jumping in their face with a camera. It's so important for children to be comfortable at the wedding and this begins with vendors they will be spending all day with (which I am so excited to do!) A huge thanks to Crystle + Jamie for letting me spend the day with you all. See you guys in a couple weeks!
Much love,
Shannon
