I'm going to let the images do all the talking this time -- I think they are beautiful / adorable / honest / genuine / I love them. Ross and Hannah: a true Texas engagement Ok, now I'll stop typing...

I have been smiling ALL day working on these.  No lie... I have been laughing out loud at how hysterical Jeremy and Lauren are and smiling at how genuinely kind there are.  They exude joy, not only in these pictures but every time you are around them (and I've known Jeremy for six years now, so that's saying a lot!).  Jeremy is one of those college friends that whenever we run into each other, we just pick up conversation like we had coffee that morning. Jeremy has been a consistent encouragement to me over the years and continues to be a wonderful friend now.  He found the perfect match for himself in Lauren - it's really unreal how God matched them up perfectly (kinda like puzzle pieces but that would be too cliche, right?)  They are both teachers - both using their gift of joy to serve others every day. I know I say this a lot, but it's really true: it's my honor to take these special pictures for Jeremy and Lauren.  I hope they embrace all the pictures for their silly, funny, goofy glory.  J [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="2400" caption="The game of Life was one of the first parts of their relationship so we made it a fun part of the engagement shoot!

I love Luke and Ashley. I love shooting in old downtown Waco. I love Sunday autumn afternoons. This photo shoot was just destined to be beautiful and I'm pretty confident it turned out that way.  Blake and I have been friends with Luke and Ashley for 5 years now - I met Luke while he was pledging KOT and I've always been a huge fan of these two.  They have gotten (and continue to get) the most out of their time at Baylor and I often wish I could switch places with them for a day/semester. : ) Luke and Ashley - your support and friendship throughout the years has been a wonderful blessing to Blake and me.  We look forward to celebrating with you both next May!  Now, everyone : enjoy some absolutely precious engagement pictures from this past weekend!

Yes. An engagement shoot at a bar. And I think it's adorable... but that's mostly due to Aaron and Nicole! Can't wait for December, you two!
