Samara & Justin – Engagement

I love these two. They showed up for their engagement session bearing donuts and croissants, how cute is that? Much like every other day, I had just started my diet that day, but decided I already deserved to cheat. I’m pretty sure I ate 3 of the donuts on my drive home. One had blue frosting and sprinkles – how could I resist?

Samara and Justin are two of the warmest, most genuine people I have ever met. They came to the shoot just ready to have fun and be themselves, and I am so excited to be shooting their wedding next August! Here are a few of my favorites from our session.

Samara is a horticulturalist (how cool is that?), so I thought we totally had to get a couple shots by this painted garden door on the right.

I think this next image might be my most favorite from the shoot. I told them to “get excited!” about sitting beneath the sun and the moon, and this is what they did. haha! Cracks me up!

Samara is gorgeous.

Samara and Justin, you are the most fun ever! I can’t wait for your wedding!! :-)

    How fun! And they brought treats!! Super-yay for them! I love these photos. My favorites are the leaf-throwing one, and the one where she’s peeking over his shoulder. :-)
