marissa & davey are engaged!

marissa & davey are photographers. they are not used to being in front of the lens, only behind it. they are used to directing shoots not taking direction but when they got engaged they were ready to put all that aside and let someone else take care of everything. they knew that on their wedding day they were going to have lots going on and they didn’t need to be worried about the photography- i was not yet a wedding photographer when matt and i were married and finding a photographer was still a huge struggle; i cannot imagine being in their shoes!

i know davey through a few mutual friends from high school- he was ‘the photographer,’ always snapping away and honing his skills. i knew he had his own business so when he called a few months ago asking if we were available may 30th i excitedly checked the calendar assuming he was already booked and had a bride he wanted to pass along to us. when i told him we were available i was surprised to hear it was for his wedding! woah! another wedding photographer trusting us to capture his wedding!? how exciting…and how nerve-wracking…

anyway, when we met up with them for their engagement session in downtown greenville all of my nerves were swept away. they were totally relaxed, completely trusting and they rocked all of our suggestions! they were even up for sitting in the stairwell of an old parking deck for a few shots. gross! but awesome. check them out!

falls park has so many beautiful unique spots to shoot; we hope to photograph there again!

we love it when couples take the initiative to make their engagement pictures unique by choosing a location that means something to them or by bringing their puppy or their bikes or in this case, their cameras!
