Amanda and Bryan: Engaged!

Amanda and Bryan are proof that if you have a new puppy as your door greeter prior to your engagement session, you can effectively distract your photographer long enough to pretty much get whatever you want from her…  fortunately, they didn’t take advantage!  Note to future clients: I love me some puppies – I even contemplated (and mentioned… multiple times) canceling A&B’s session in turn for a few hours of some serious puppy playtime.   Puppy-napping may have crossed my mind…  I KID!!!! (maybe)  I was so distracted, it never even crossed my mind to PHOTOGRAPH said puppy – some photographer I am!  In my defense, we never planned to bring little Barkley along with us, but really, step it up, Amber!  Consider this future warning to all clients, if there are any baby animals in your home during the time of your session,  I’ll be on your front stoop 15 minutes early to incorporate a mini furry photo session…

I’ve known Amanda and Bryan for some time now and I’m fully convinced that they’re made for each other – fate stepped in to introduce these two, and they’ve been laughing and loving each other ever since.  Bryan grew up in St Paul, and A&B reside there now, so it was only natural that we spend an afternoon exploring the town, chatting it up, enjoying the Van Halen concert groupies and, of course, taking a few photos.  I can’t stress enough how seriously awesome an engagement sessions can be!  Not only do we get to snap a few pictures for future generations to ogle, but it’s also a great time to discuss wedding details and get comfortable with each other prior to the big day.  Amanda and Bryan were a little hesitant to have engagement photos taken, but they both commented throughout the night on how much fun they were having!    I’m sure it’s my witty charm that sealed the deal… that, and the fact that they got to spend a few hours cuddling and loving each other in a (mostly) non-cheesy manor.  Hey, I’m all for a LITTLE cheese – I’m from Wisconsin, remember?
