I loved this old house…..We didn’t know the person who lived there, so we only snapped a few quick shots there.

This was just some of the laughter from today! They are so cute together.

One of my favorite shots to date!!!

The great thing about this session, was that I didn’t have to tell them to kiss ever! All the kissing and lovey doveiness was genuine!

Had to get some jumping in there!

Couldn’t be on the tracks without a train coming! SO SCARY~!!! I’m still getting goose bumps. lol Thank you Cj and Rachel for allowing me to capture your love!

Way more to follow! I loved all these images.  Thanks Cj and Rachel for having capture your love.

And, yes, the picture is a small taste of the laughing we had that afternoon. =)

I had people entering their stories for the reasons they wanted this session. I have chosen a winning couple.

Danielle Chang and Omar Valentin! YAY!

Here is their story…

My name is Danielle Chang. My good friend Kelley Cox told me about  you looking for a couple for the “Rock the Dress” or “Engagement  Session”. At first when she told me about the submitting the story  part, I was a little apprehensive. It is always so hard for me to  write about myself. But then I figured, what the hell, and decided to  go for it!

My fiance’s name is Omar Valentin. We are having a destination  wedding in St. Lucia on 05/29/10…I am so excited! We wanted to do  something stress free and low key. We were both raised by amazing  single mothers and did not want to burden our moms with the cost of a  huge lavish wedding. So, we decided to invite anyone who can join us  in paradise to witness our nuptials. Omar and I will be together 7 years this April. We met through mutual  friends and both were coming out of previous relationships when we  met. I remember thinking he was a total jerk right before we started  dating, but for once in my life, I was glad to be wrong

I knew he  was someone I could be with for a long time after I returned from my  study abroad trip to France. We were only dating 2 months before I  went on my month long trip. He was completely amazing through the  entire experience. We both purchased journals for each other and  wrote in them during our time apart, then exchanged journals when I  returned home. He was completely happy for me and encouraged me to do  explore and see the world, and I absolutely loved that.

Now 7 years later we are the best of friends and lovers too. We still  have the same attitude as we did in the beginning, be supportive,  encouraging, and always cherish the time we spend together. We love  to travel, ride bikes at the beach, enjoy great food, family, and  friends. We always have “Chicken Wing Friday”, I look forward to it  every week, it has become a staple for us. We are just really down to  earth people who enjoy a good time, no matter what it is. That is pretty much us in a nutshell. Good luck with the selection process! (Of course, I hope you pick us!)

Sincerely, Danielle Chang & Omar Valentin

I can’t wait for their wedding in March! We had fun shooting their engagement session, so I know the wedding will be great!

Got some of the overcast sunrise! =) Love it when the sun breaks the horizon. =)

I love the front garden at the Club Continental! The patina green is my fave!

Can you believe the eyes on these two?! Gorgeous!!

We moved over to a spot that is special to Leslie and Cory. A small stretch on River Road where Cory proposed to Leslie. It was nice to be able to capture those feelings on camera.

Thank you Leslie and Cory for having me be a part of the engagement step of your relationship. I can’t wait for the wedding! See you soon!
