Meant to be.

I met Olivia and Cody through my old roommate, Natalie.  Natalie would always bring up how Olivia and Cody were just meant to be and even though they were in high school and doing a long-distance relationship, she knew they were going to get married.  Natalie started crafting for their wedding months before they even got engaged.  And when the big day came this past summer, they wanted me to photograph.  Oh, the pressure!  I will share those photos someday, but there are just so many to sort through and they are all so lovely.

Regardless, I wanted to thank them by giving them a short post-wedding photoshoot in an environment where we could all be a bit more comfortable.  So back in October (I KNOW, so long ago...), we took some photos at Shelby Bottoms.  There are so many funny ones that I'll have to share some other time, but for now, here's the sweet ones.

 

Other Side of the Lens.

The Hubstobe and I got to play around on the other side of the camera for our engagement shoot done by our super talented and dear friend, Julie Holmes.  Here's a sneak peek - head on over to Love, The Lincolns to see more.

The S.S. Love

Guys, my little sister, Shannon, is beautiful.  And tall.  And athletic.  And smart.  And this list could go on forever...

After months of trying to coordinate a photoshoot with her and her boyfriend, Stu, we finally made it happen.  They've been together going on a year now, so I've had some time to get to know this handsome (and tall, and athletic, smart - gag me) man of hers.  They make such a good match, and I told her if they break up I'm not taking these photos down. 

This was my first "love shoot" so we were all a little uncertain of the situation.  But they were all giggles which makes for amazing photos, and they weren't afraid to be mushy.  Hooray for cute, kissy couples!

Such a sweet love story... 

And speaking of love stories, I got engaged and I'm blogging about it!
