It was a warm and calm afternoon. She wore a perfect summer dress, and he, a shirt he didn't love oh-so-much. But he did it for her, and for the promise that he could wear his favorite shirt in part 2 of their engagement shoot. His lumberjack shirt, they called it. With their wedding several months away, they were already perfecting compromises like an old married couple.
We greeted them with a sunny bunch of bright balloons, an ode to Jackie's pending birthday only two days away, and the balloons made a great distraction for a somewhat nervous Zach.
I think Zach put his excitement level at about a 2 before our shoot began. And I can't say I blame him. Being the center of attention isn't for everyone, and Jake and I are always sensitive to that part of our clients. Many of our clients have only experienced more traditional portraits that incorporated more lighting technology than emotion. We aim to change your outlook on that completely :)
When the shoot concluded, he celebrated by picking a tiny, beautiful white flower and putting it in Jackie's hair. A symbol, indeed, that he was feeling the love while walking the park with his bride-to-be.
Jackie and Zach, you are so, so adorable together. Your love is pure, and you march to the beat of your own hearts. I am so excited for your future together.

Joey- have I told you lately how amazing you are? Well, if you didn't know.. Zach and I are still obsessed with our pictures and I can't stop watching the slideshow either.. Thank you SO much for capturing so perfectly our relationship and personalities. Can't wait 'till the wedding!

And "this is like couples therapy!" I think most people just don't know how fun it is to be themselves in front of the camera and have that moment captured forever. Yay for you!
