THE JOURNAL

Michael and Megan

It was the kind of session that i just couldn’t wait to edit. The entire time we were shooting I kept saying “beautiful” and “gorgeous” and when the shots were blowing me away, I would sing the words to them just like they were singing to my heart. I meant it, every word of praise I gave these two. Because not only was their love overflowing but their laughter was infectious. And these images of them made my photographer heart so happy I could burst!

Michael and Megan were such an amazing couple to photograph at the stunning Magnolia Plantation. I have been dying to photograph a couple in love there! I mean the mossy trees, the beautiful bridges, every corner you turn is full of so much beauty!! But none of that beauty compared to the love between these two. These two were just so natural together! They made my job so easy! And I think one of the things I loved most about them is they could go from a serious lovey dovey pose to bursting with laughter at each other. You can tell they were so comfortable with each other and so in love. And they rocked both of their outfits! I always tell people you can never be too dressy and these two prove that fact for sure!! Megan ROCKED that black tulle dress (from rent the runway!). And Michael was a trooper in the humidity in those suits! Worth it!!

I also love photographing other photographer’s because they just trust you. For instance, when I suggested to Megan and Michael to climb this huge tree, they didn’t think twice. They just went for it. And it was perfection!! (See for yourself below! ) And I can’t post this without mentioning the weather! The entire week before it was calling for 90% chance of rain and I was in a panic!! But each day the forecast got better and better. And that morning when we met, the sun was out and we had beautiful sunshine the entire day! I had so many favorites from this day and I can’t wait for you to see them!

Thank you Michael and Megan for giving me the chance to not only capture some anniversary portraits for you, but to remember why I do this job that I love so much. You inspired me and left me on a creative high. I seriously needed this re-charge! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
