Venessa & Mike – Engaged!

Venessa, Mike and I met up at Brookside Gardens yesterday evening to take some engagement photos, and I had a blast with them! I’ve never giggled so much while trying to shoot – Venessa and Mike sang, danced and goofed off all around the park. But as adorably silly as they are, we captured plenty of sweet moments, too. And we managed to get our session done right before the skies opened up in a downpour. Whew!

I’m starting off with one of my very favorites (I always love an “almost-kiss.”) And I LOVE Venessa’s dress! Such fun colors.


Okay, maybe this is my favorite. I can’t decide! I really love their body language in this one:

Swoon!


Doesn’t Venessa have the best smile?!


Mike, you’re so goofy:

And then right back to so romantic! Aw.


Venessa and Mike both love playing board games and playing cards (me too!) so they brought a deck along to the park. Mike showed us his skills with a mystifying magic trick!

Fun ring shot!

Fun Mike shot!

And we finished up the day with a bit of song and dance just before it started to thunder, so we decided we’d better go.

Venessa and Mike, you are both so much fun. I wish we could have spent more time together yesterday! I seriously cannot wait for your wedding in July!

    Incredible! What a great session. Love the location–so pretty. Her dress looks gorgeous in these–perfect pop of color. They are adorable and there are so many great shots. Hard to pick a favorite but definitely love the black and white you wrote ‘swoon’ above. Indeed.
