Oh these two. Such a fun duo and I felt so privileged to document this season of life for them. I first met Alli last summer as she was a bridesmaid in one of my summer weddings. I knew immediately that she was fun and such a joy! A few months later she emailed me and asked about learning about my business and photography in general as she was interested in pursuing it some herself. We met up for coffee and hit it off right away, laughing and sharing stories. She is really one of the easiest people to be around and so time passed by quickly. We chatted about business but also about life. It was then that I learned that she and Darren were wanting to get married, it was just a matter of time. Not too much later, he took her to the place where they had hung out for the first time. They had met on a work trip, totally unexpectedly, but hit it off fast. She had wanted to see the city and when her friend couldn’t go, he volunteered to show her around…smart move, Darren, smart move. After a series of events, they somehow found themselves at an old Kentucky Fried Chicken (a funny story in and of itself) and that is the same place he knelt and asked her to be his bride. A place that held great sentiment and humor. The place where it had all began.
I was thrilled when she called me up to take some engagement pictures for them! These two are such a delight and I will forever remember climbing a fence with them in to a cow field, trying to figure out if we should be afraid of cows. Memory for the record books. Can’t wait to see how their story continues to unfold!
Enjoy some of my favs!
Happy Monday
