Jennifer’s favorite thing to do: wedding planning in the hammock with her sweetie!

Ok, maybe she has more than one favorite thing.

Can’t take credit for this one. It was their idea. So cute!

But I did learn through their engagement session questionnaire that they’ve been taking dance lessons. LOVE the dance moves!

I also love the evening light. Beautiful.

Jennifer’s other dog, Petey, was at a sleepover that day so we only got to shoot one of her dogs. Jennifer says Petey feels like an orphan since he’s not in the pictures. Little sibling rivalry here. Yikes!

    Hey Jenn,
    Poison ivy is all gone now! Yay! See you soon! ;)

  2. jennifer says:

    Julie!!!

    I am so sorry you got poison ivy! I feel responsible!! I was out walking Wiley today in it. He will only “go” in there *even once before I could stop him on St. Francis — I told him St. Francis didn’t like animals THAT MUCH!! ha ha

    Thanks again for capturing Derek and I and our love beautifully. You really do work miracles — just like the saints….

    I’ll be contacting you regarding ordering some for us and our parents.

    With love, Jennifer

  3. Jules says:

    You guys are so funny! Love the references to St. Francis and stigmata. Gotta say I’d never even heard of that before today.

    CD WINS the prize though. POISON IVY, you got it. My non-camera arm and legs, but it’s starting to go away already, so, phew. This is only the third time I’ve gotten poison ivy during a shoot. Anything to get “the shot,” right?

    CD, check your mail later today!! Congratulations, and thanks for playing, everybody!

  4. BEAUTIFUL couple. Great shots. They’re adorable and all that green is just gorgeous. Kudos!

  5. mike says:

    envy???
    just kidding.
    You take great pictures! Excellent site. Top notch.
    Funny about the stigmata. he he.

  6. Aaron Pelly says:

    Julie, that is some sweet light! I especially love your use of light and shadows in the indoor shots.

    I’m guessing you have a rash on your lower legs from kneeling in that poison ivy/oak (I don’t remember how to tell the difference). On the other hand, someone reported that Francis had stigmata. I hope you don’t have that affliction!

  7. SWC says:

    What a beautiful couple. I love the shots at the house.

    I think CD has the right guess for the contest – poison ivy?

  8. CD says:

    Did you get poison ivy?

  9. Leah says:

    Great photos of the happy couple. I am not sure who had more fun … the couple or the dog.

    Well, I hope it is not an eye infection. It would be hard to take brilliant photos with an eye infection.
