'Models' for a day...

Shaun and I had the pleasure of working with Heather & Jon of One Love Photo this past Sunday while they shot our engagement photos. We weren't sure what to expect and were a bit nervous going into it, as neither of us has ever been the main subject of a professional photography session before. But after a few minutes of just talking and getting to know this amazing couple, our nerves were instantly put at ease. They are two of the most talented, yet humbling, people I've ever met and make you feel like you've known them for years. We were still somewhat awkward just from being the center of attention, but hopefully that doesn't show too much. Whenever we didn't know what to do, we just kissed and all of our insecurities would fade away...at least for a little bit anyway. (I think Shaun loved the photo session so much because he got so many kisses!) :-]

We started off the day finding little nooks around Gas Works Park that Shaun and I had never even noticed before. Heather & Jon have this remarkable ability to find beauty in rusty staircases or paint-chipped walls that we probably wouldn't have even given a second glance. They also ensured we took moments to just enjoy each other and the sunshine beaming on our faces. After we fully explored Gas Works, we headed home to get our furry little friend. Lanie instantly fell in L.O.V.E. with Jon and his funky lenses that were making these funny clicking sounds and were always pointed right on her face. She enjoyed chasing her green ball around the park until we got her good and tired so she would actually sit still for a picture or two. By the end of our session, Lanie was graciously giving out kisses to our new friends and stood looking out the door as they left...I think we were all sad to see Heather & Jon go after such a fun afternoon. We couldn't have thought of a better way to celebrate our one year anniversary of being engaged. :)
