sweet love | Fredericksburg Wedding Photographer
Samantha contacted me last fall to schedule an engagement session and between the busy fall portrait season and the holidays, we were unable to make it happen during that time. Fortunately, she contacted me again a few weeks ago to try again to schedule a session and this time we were able to do it! Samantha and Scott were wonderful models - easy going and relaxed in front of the camera. Beautiful, relaxed and happy subjects always make great portraits, and I am happy to report that I absolutely LOVE the way their session came out. They brought their baby girl, Daisy, along and she couldn't have been better behaved. I was continually impressed by her eagerness to please and obey (especially considering I'm in the process of trying to train my own dogs and it is soooo not easy!) and also how she would just sit off to the side and wait patiently while I took photos of Samantha and Scott alone! I loved having her around and hope to get to hang out with her again sometime in the future!
Without further ado...
I wish you all the best as you get married in Illinois later this year!

I know I gave a little sneak peek a few weeks ago, but I wanted to share the rest of this fun engagement session. When I asked these two what they enjoyed doing together they immediately answered "cook and take our dogs to the dog park." Well, that's easy! We decided to have them cook a fun meal (note to self: don't ever go to an engagement session [with food] on an empty stomach again!) and then head out to the back yard for some play time with their pups. I love that their session incorporated so much of their personalities and hobbies. This is something I really would like to start doing with all of my couples.
We started in their adorable vintage-style kitchen:
Seriously, guys. He adores her:
I know it looks like they were doing a lot of flirting and kissing (they were!), but they really were cooking something delicious, too! Here's some proof:
And then, they made a date of it in their (full of light) dining room. Pour some wine and feed each other! Now that's romantic. ;)
Then we headed outside for some more fun portraits. Some with and some without the doggies.
This was so much fun! I can't wait until their wedding in June, I know it's going to be such a great celebration of their love for each other. :)
