Every once in a while, all of the stars align, everything falls into place just so & the perfect session is born. This happened on 4-26-13.
When I met with Bri & Ron for the 1st time to discuss their engagement session & what they were looking for in their photos, I had a great feeling about them. We were all on the same page when it came to the style & aesthetic they wanted, so we set a date & the planning began. Neither Bri nor Ron are from this area, so I had the pleasure of choosing the locations for their shoot & I had the perfect places in mind.
The day of their session arrived and I was so excited. We met on the campus of the University of Montevallo & when Bri showed me the few little extra details she brought along, I was thrilled. She crafted the cutest save the date banner & a gorgeous wooden, hand-painted sign with one of my favorite Bible verses on it. DIY details? This is a girl after my own heart! I never bring props to any sessions, but I always encourage my clients to do what feels best for them & if they have anything special they’d like to include in their session to please bring it along! The special touches always inject the perfect amount of personality into the photos that only they could provide.
In typical male/fiance fashion, Ron was pretty nervous & told me that he never takes good pictures….but that certainly wasn’t the case on this day & by the middle of our session he was proclaiming his new found life calling as a model…and I have to agree, they were both naturals and made my job so much fun!
From the moment we began, I could just feel how much in love they are. They couldn’t stop smiling, laughing, touching, hugging & whispering “I love you” to one another. It was the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen & I could photograph them every single day.
I don’t know how in the world I’m going to contain my excitement until their wedding day next March. I seriously can’t wait! Bri & Ron, thank you so much for giving me the honor. Good luck this year with all of your new adventures! xoxo
Le Magnifique Feature | Birmingham, AL Wedding Photographer » Emily Dean Photography - […] Bri & Ron are one of those couples that you instantly fall in love with, so I am beyond thrilled that their session is out there for the world to see. They are so genuine, happy, kind and laid-back that I just wanted our session to last all day. During our pre-session consultation, we bonded over our love for lush green landscapes, puppies and the Alabama Crimson Tide…I immediately felt like we were all lifelong friends. The day of their engagement session on the campus of the University of Montevallo was absolutely perfect. Bri brought along THE most adorable DIY props to enhance their session and she did an impeccable job selecting their outfits. I was swooning over all of it, but when Ron brought out his guitar, I was a goner! They are so obviously, completely, 100% in love that you just look at them and know it will last forever. All I had to do was step back and click the shutter and they did the rest. This will forever be my all time favorite engagement session & I cannot wait for their wedding in Atlanta next spring! […]
