I love the end of summer. I'm one of those sickos who genuinely enjoys the sensation of warmth. For 16 hours a day. Pair that with the few extra hours of sunlight we've taken for granted since spring, the kids back in school (so that my morning Target trips can be enjoyable again), and REALLY good fruit and veggies and this is my favorite time of the year. When one of my brides wanted to do her engagement session over Labor day weekend, I was initially hesitant, assuming all of my good locations would be overrun with vacationers, but I dug deep and remembered a great little spot where we did some personal photos awhile back. I suggested we start early, because not everyone is as sick as I am with enjoyment of this heat.
It was still 90 something degrees at 8:30 in the morning. Seriously?! Egg. On. My. Face.
They were absolute champs, and fantastic in front of the camera. This couple shares a wonderful chemistry that she mentioned wanting to capture when we first met and started talking about her wedding. She mentioned they have a young child together, but she didn't think that meant they shouldn't have some sexy mommy-daddy photos just like anyone else. I was SO glad she felt this way... not enough couples do, in my opinion (says the girl who was 5 months pregnant in her engagement photos). I think we absolutely achieved the sexiness she was looking for... to the point that some of the photos aren't ones I can share!
I can't wait for this awesome couple's wedding!
