prepping for + rocking your engagement session >>

I do as much as possible to educate and prep my brides for their engagement session. It is such a huge part of the fun of being engaged - plus it's essential in prepping for the wedding day. (Who wants a stranger showing up to shoot their wedding?) 

 It's the time I get to become friends with my brides and grooms. I get to know their personalities, likes and dislikes, the things that make them them. Knowing my couples helps me better tell their love story. I want each couple to feel like and know they were understood, and for their images to tell true stories of who they are as individuals and as one.

Below is the PDF I share with my brides -- it's finally making its way to the blog. (better late than never?)

I hope this information helps your prep for your engagement session - no matter who you hire to tell your story. lots of love, M

A White Christmas First Look in Evergreen, Colorado

My brother married a beauty today! After their nearly-five years of dating we are so excited to finally have Hannah Joy as a sister.  

oh guys, the way he looks at her, the tenderness in his voice, the smile in his eyes. they are a match made in heaven. ❤  when it was time for Ethan to stay and wait for Hannah Joy to arrive for the first look, he nervously asked me how to respond when he would first see her. I reassured him, just be natural.

"well.... can I please pick her up?" (melttttt)

they are MARRIED!!!! and, with gratitude, as maid of honor, sister, friend, and photographer for the first-look ..... here in this little space of love, are the images of beautiful Hannah Joy being revealed to her darling on the wedding day of their dreams. 

muah muah muah, ❤

(ps. if you missed it, photos from the rehearsal are in my personal blog space rightttt here)
