Engaged: Michael and Hannah

Cold, windy, and -- I'll admit it -- rather miserable don't make for an easy day for a photo session. Its even worse when your photo's subjects ought to be looking comfortable, lovey dovey, and warm and fuzzy...and instead are glaring at you for making them standing the cold wind.

I, the photographer, can bundle up to stay warm and it doesn't matter if I'm waddling around under three pairs of long johns and a couple coats. But that doesn't work for being in front of the camera.

Don't get me wrong. It wasn't that cold (it is April, after all!). But let me be dramatic. Because I want to be. So there. Harrumph.



But who needs a fleece jacket and mittens when you've got a hand to hold and an arm around your shoulder, right Hannah? And, Michael, when you have warm fuzzies, why would you need to wear a coat?



Hannah and Michael are -- in case you couldn't tell -- fully in love. The way she lights up when she looks at him. Their way of sharing a smile. And, yes, their ability to communicate without saying a word. Its all proof.

Its so real, so raw, so beautiful.

And their wedding next month is going to be a sweet, sweet celebration. Of that I have no doubt.
