In my 8 years of shooting weddings and engagement sessions…every singe time…I always ask how the bride and groom met. I always want to hear that story…and watch what happens when people light up as they tell me the juicy details. There is always two sides to a story and I loved it when I asked how Nicole and Austin met….they both had their version!

How they met: Apparently, they went to high school together and didn’t even know each other. He said she was the popular girl in ASB planning the assemblies….that he didn’t even remember attending.  She friended him on Facebook after highschool…the threw out a invite to drinks on Thanksgiving…and she took him up on it…and they have been inseparable ever since.

Their Relationship: I love to see when couples get each other…and don’t try to change them into something else. I love that she knows he’s a fisherman/hunter type and that she just enjoys snuggling in the covers in the wee hrs of the morning when Austin gets up to go duck hunting.  I love that she is happy that he is a fire fighter. I love that he wants her to be girly. Its a good thing.

Their Engagement Session: We headed to one of my favorite places on earth…Kayak Point! I love all that this gorgeous beach has to offer…and their chocolate lab loved jumping the water…fetching.

Their Wedding: I can’t wait for their wedding at Hidden Meadows! When Nicole started talking about the green Depression glass centerpieces and pink peonies that she will be using…eeek! I just can’t help but get super excited!!! Yay!!

How could you not just love this sweet face! He was so funny and totally took over our session…when he wanted a little attention, he buzzed me while I was shooting! :) So cute!
