Libby Hill Love Story

We really love the church that we go to. So many great people, who are great at being a community that cares about each other and the city we live in. The last few years getting to know these people has been a great experience for us, and we are looking forward to more. That said, church is where we met this great couple who I had the honor of doing an engagement session for. 

 Both of these guys are on the worship team, and it's been neat to see their relationship grow. They are an awesome couple, and it was so much fun to get to know them a little bit better at their engagement session. I learned that Matt wanted to have a petting zoo at their wedding and dress up like Harry Potter for the e-sesh, but Chyrelle put her foot down. ;) Kidding...I think? I also learned that Chyrelle is a master at keeping a straight face, and despite Matt's best efforts managed to not fall victim to his plots to make her laugh...much.

These guys were a lot of fun to shoot, and managed to avoid the "awkwards" that happen at many an engagement sesh. (We only had a few episodes of "I'm not sure what to do with my hands"...and that was mostly just for laughs.) We shot mostly at a local park (Libby Hill) with a gorgeous view of the city, and lots of great afternoon light. It was pretty sweltering hot, and they handled the heat beautifully. I am always grateful that I'm not in front of the camera trying to look good when I shoot during the summer, but these guys pulled it off.

I'm so excited for them, and thankful that they let me and my sister Anna (who also helped with this session) be a part of photo-journaling their story. We wish them the best, and look forward to watching their relationship grow stronger through the years!
