Best of Engagements 2012

Wow. For lack of a better word, that’s all I can really say. As I was compiling the list for this post, I simply couldn’t believe how much ground we had covered this year…and these were just the engagement sessions! While a handful of these lovebirds tied the knot in 2012, many of these will be sailing off to happily ever after in 2013. The common denominator among them is that  they’ve all been awesome beyond words, and we couldn’t ask for a more lovely bunch to fill our schedules this year.

In no particular order, we want to thank the following folks for (but not limited to) partaking in the following activities with yours truly:

  • Playing in the rain. Who says engagement sessions need to be outdoors, much less in broad daylight? :)
  • Ignoring fences, gates, and other rules regarding personal safety obviously not meant for us.
  • Jumping into questionable alleys, mushy swamps and curiously empty laundromats (etc, etc) that aren’t exactly what most “normal” people would consider to be”romantic”.
  • Rolling around the carpet, grass and parking lots…in nice going-out clothes.
  • Just having fun. Because in the end, it’s really just about having fun and being yourselves. Everything else is just icing.
