adrienne & ric are engaged!

there are so many of you, out there in the blog world, that i feel like i know so well but i’ve never met! we exchange blog comments, facebook comments, tweets, emails, gchats and everything and yet- i’ve never actually had the pleasure of laughing with you in person. so when we do get the chance to finally meet it really makes my day! adrienne is one of these lovely people that i’ve been online friends with since long ago- waay before she was engaged! she’s a creative herself- a photographer to be exact- and a photography teacher! she takes sweet pictures of little teeny babies and families while at the same time inspiring the next generation of photogs during her day job- wow! so when i got her message about her own wedding photos i jumped right on it- no doubt working with her would be awesome. and let’s not forget her fiance- ric! any guy who can keep up with her must be a rockstar, right? um, of course. when we met up with them for their engagement pics we found out he’s actually a photographer too- perfect! anyway, shooting the two of them was great- MEETING the two of them was also great! and by two i mean, three- they brought their pup lucy! how sweet is this little family!?:

i mean, don’t you just look at this next picture and feel like you could just sit down and share a meal with these two? so down to earth, fun and relaxed:

lucy got a tiny bit protective of her parents when we got too close and threatening with our cameras- she kept us in check, haha:

dynamite. i was going to say that this next one was my favorite but then i scrolled down to confirm that and got all torn- so i’m NOT naming a favorite but we’ll just leave it with- i really like this next one:

as the sun fell lower and mixed with the pollen in the air it created a beautiful haze over the park giving the final few images a dreamy quality. it felt good to use the pollen to our advantage since it’s been wreaking havoc on our sinuses and mental well-being for weeks now! so, take THAT pollen:

adrienne & ric, we’re so honored you’ve chosen us to capture this time in your lives! you guys were a joy to work with and we are so excited for your wedding! wonderful to meet you (FINALLY.)! please tell lucy that our baby stella says hello! :)
