Phil + Brittney

What constitutes a great place?  Is it a beautiful landscape? Loved ones? A budding career?

I'd argue a cocktail of all of the above. And that's what I got when Phil, Brittney and I met up for their engagement photos. 

I love it when life comes full circle. I've known these two for a few years, and life's circumstances had drawn us apart for a bit. You can imagine my expression when I opened up my inbox one day to an email from the beautiful Brittney injuring about wedding photography! Heck yes I'd love to photograph your wedding day, but most importantly catch up on life, love and all things exciting. 

These two never cease to amaze me with their passion for all things. Love, Life, Careers. Brittney is crushing her job at a solar company, and Phil is dominating the craft brew industry and even entrepreneurship.  This is why my job is so fun. I get all jazzed up (people still use that phrase, right?) about taking photos, but I also get jazzed up (there it is again) in learning about other people's passions. What makes them wake up in the morning. 

Our initial meeting over coffee inspired me. Their ideas for a different type of engagement session got my creative juices flowing, so we went to my favorite spot in Colorado for some outdoor love. However, the ending of the photoshoot is where the magic happened. Old Major was kind enough to let us play after the brunch crowd had gone home. I love sessions like this, where its real life. Its showcasing you can love someone no matter where you're at! At brunch, on a hike, in the grocery store, heck even at the DMV (Anyone up for an engagement session at the DMV?)

Anyhooters: The photos are more interesting than my rambling. So here ya go, friend!

Scott + Felicia Engaged

My heart shines when couples know who they are and they let it shine. Felicia and Scott are 100% committed to their faith and that's what makes them them. Even the moment they met, faith was intertwined and made itself a huge part of their relationship. 

Picture this: Felicia and her girls were hanging out at a local bar in Georgia. When a mutual friend introduces Scott to Felicia, sparks begin to fly. One of the first questions Scott asked her, was inquiring about the bracelet she had on. It was from the Passion conference she had just attended. One that Scott had been to years previously.  After a clumsy move where Felicia ended up with a spilled beer down her blouse, a first date was set.  Numbers were exchanged.  

When you get beer spilled all over you, things will get damaged. Clothes, a purse, possibly a phone. And that's exactly what happened. Felicia's phone went on the fritz and Scott had been texting her for a few weeks (1 month according to Scott) with no reply! He'd been ghosted.  But when she fixed her phone, and reached out to him, he breathed a sigh of relief and they got together, for church service. Throughout dating, Scott would text her bible verses, and she was hooked. These two are meant to be together 

I just adore this love story. It's sassy and sweet and all things that make a relationship fun. I know they'll make the most beautiful bride and groom in their Atlanta wedding. And more importantly an amazing husband and wife. Congratulations in advance, and I can't wait to see your wedding photos!
