Lauren and Matt are Engaged!

Several months ago Lauren contacted me via phone and email about shooting her upcoming wedding to her fiance Matt, and of course I was thrilled. So when I met up with the two of them to do their engagement session, I had never actually met them in person. As soon as I saw Matt I had that "I know this guy from somewhere" feeling... so eventually I had to say something. Turns out he had the same feeling.. so we started trying to figure out where we had met, and eventually we realized that we had been in the same college ministry our freshman year of college. Small world!
Anyways, I had so much fun with these two! They were up for something a little different, so I scouted out a new spot that had some older buildings and was also near the water. Just a warning: this post is a little longer than usual. As I was going through the pictures trying to pick the ones to post, I kept thinking "oh I love this one" and "oh wait this is my favorite" and "oh but I love this one too!" I had a really hard time narrowing it down! So I kind of didn't... I hope you like them as much as I do!





This is one of my favorites.. I love how Lauren looks!














There's something about the way that Matt is holding her back that I just love.. so romantic...




And I love the way Lauren is looking at him in this one.










After we left that spot, we had planned on going over to the railroad tracks. There was an old brick building right on the tracks, so we parked in that parking lot. When we got out a man came out of the building and kind of asked what we were doing. I thought he didn't want us parking there (even though the lot was empty) so I explained what was going on.. but I guess he was just curious, because then he said we could come inside and do some shots if we wanted - it was a boxing gym! Neither Matt nor Lauren are boxers, but we couldn't pass that up. He even gave them some gloves to wear. How fun is that?!

I looooove railroad track pictures!!

Is it just my computer or something else that's causing some of your photos to be cut off? It seems to cut off the right side of a lot of the pictures. It was especially noticeable in the collage photo. It hasn't always done that. It's recent. Weird! But your pictures are beautiful as always. :)

Thanks, Brianna!
They aren't cut off on my computer... I am not sure why it is happening for you. Are you using Internet Explorer? I am too, but for some reason sometimes I have problems with that browser, esp when I post slideshows.

I am using Internet Explorer, but the weird thing to me is that it hasn't always done this. I don't know if some setting on my computer got changed somehow or what. I might ask my husband if he knows how to fix it. :)

Let me know if he has any ideas... oh, wait - I just recently started sizing them a little bigger - I bet that is the problem.
