I knew I would like Suzanne within one minute of talking with her. She has this instant comfortable-ness. (Is that a word?) She was so easy to talk to and I loved getting to hear about her vision for her wedding day. Joshua is a Lubbock Police Officer, so I'm pretty sure I questioned him the entire time about various things- police officers always have the greatest stories. :) 

We had a severe thunderstorm warning in Lubbock the day of their shoot, but these two decided to stick it out with me, and I'm so glad they did! You can't get clouds like this without a little daring and adventure!

What a fun photoshoot! Not only are these two darn good looking (you'll see later), they are great people and were so fun to work with. Matt and Monica made the trip in from Dallas for their engagement shoot last week. (I'm a tad bit late on this post- there were just too many images I loved- sorry Monica!) They'll be getting married at the McKinney Cotton Mill (woo hoo- love that place!) this September. 

I wanted to incorporate some of their favorite things into their photoshoot, and since they had told me they love to ride bikes together, I called out to the Twitter community asking if anyone had a bike I could borrow. Truthfully, I expected to get someone's old-ugly-used-to-be-cool bike and do my best to make it look good. And then I got a call that some of my favorite clients had two vintage Schwinn bicycles they could lend. Jackpot! They were perfect. Thank you so much, Jonathan and Mitzi. 

Now for some images! Like I said, there were too many to choose from....enjoy!

Yes, this was someone's home...someone who was NOT afraid of color...

Doug and Megan traveled in from their current city of Dallas to do their engagement shoot at their alma mater- Texas Tech! We had such a beautiful day (although I still got a sunburn...never fails!). I enjoyed getting to hear their love story- apparently Megan was working as an intern at the accounting firm where Doug was an associate. Doug was assigned to help with Megan's first audit and was less than friendly! By the time that Megan's internship was over, though, their friendship was blossoming and would soon become a romantic relationship. These two are so happy and comfortable together. Thanks guys for a great session!

Doug + Megan are huge TTU Football fans (they are season ticket holders), and Doug's "Joe's Pizza" shirt has attended every game with them in the past few years!

It was a gorgeous, sunny day in Amarillo, Texas- perfect for an engagement photoshoot! I was excited to meet up with Blake and Lindsey, because after stalking them on Facebook (I confess), I knew they would be a lot of fun. And they were!

I have every couple I shoot fill out an Engagement Questionnaire previous to their photoshoot, so that I know a little bit more about them. I noticed that Lindsey had mentioned Blake owns his own P.I. firm. Being the dork I am, I had no idea what that meant...so I Googled. What I eventually decided was that he was either a Personal Injury Attorney or a Private Investigator- either way, pretty cool! So when I met them I had to ask- it turns out it was the latter. Haha, I'm so glad I had the guts to ask- I'd hate not knowing after my "research". 

Here are some of my favorites from the day- these guys are having a destination wedding in just a few weeks, but you'll see them back on the blog in June after I shoot their reception.

I know. I have good looking clients.

They brought the rest of the family for a few pictures! Loved playing with their pups.
