Well, this post is going to become personal. Holly and I have a rather funny story. We grew up in the same area, had the same friends, went to the same gatherings, yet we never really met or became friends in high school. We even went to the same college (Go Dukes!). Crazy, I know. But Holly and I didn’t become friends until we were hired at the same elementary school the same year as first year teachers! When I first saw Holly at new teacher orientation I knew her name, I knew who she was but we had never had a conversation ever…so I walked up to her and started talking about some mutual friends and we clicked instantly. Its funny now, because I don’t think we would have been good friends in high school, but in my eyes we are the perfect adult best friends! I couldn’t have made it through my first year teaching…or my second year, or even my third year without this girl! I am so grateful that she has walked into my life for so many reasons… hey, timing is everything isn’t it?!
I met Holly and Mike before they were ever engaged (its been a few years since Mike popped the question). I still laugh at the time Mike asked me and one of their friends if he should pop the question during a night of bowling while Holly was up to bowl! I literally looked at him and started to laugh because he tends to make plenty of jokes and this comment was just too random to be true, right?! No, Mike popped the question that Christmas… so I guess I shouldn’t have laughed!
This engagement session took some work! I had to beg and plead these two to get engagement pictures taken and finally it happened! I’m not going to lie, going through these pictures from a few months ago had me in tears again…from laughter. This session was hilarious! I am glad I was able to grab a few out of the hundreds I took where they actually took my nuzzling comments seriously!
Love these black and whites! Mike has that model look on the right! Love it!
I am so excited for these two! They are truly a wonderful couple who I love dearly and I cannot wait to see what life has in store for their lives as a married couple! Loved this amazing barn! Such happiness in this one! Eeeeeek! My favorite guy Tucker! I’ll never forget the day we went to get this little guy… he really was little at one point in time! Holly, you are gorgeous! All time favorite! Tucker is always looking like a lion…but especially in this one! 🙂
