When I launched my photography business almost a decade ago, my main focus was wedding photography. For many reasons, I have shifted away from that focus but every once in a while it is REALLY fun to focus on the love between two people. Maren and Bryan are getting married this October, and while they have certainly shifted what the day will look like, I still could not be more excited to capture the day for them!
We did their engagement session earlier this year and it was perfection. My husband and I met Bryan a couple of years ago because he actually designed our outdoor living spaces for our home. He is the landscape designer over at DigIt, check him out! Anyways, I just love how much these images represent Maren and Bryan's personality and style. I also totally appreciated that they stayed out after the sun set so we could do some longer exposure portraits. Check them out towards the end of the blog!
Sometimes, I think parents should take the time to have pictures of just them. I wonder why we only tend to have our love captured when we get married? Well, let's change that! Get in touch to book a session for your anniversary or just because you love each other!
