Emilee + Dan met at a coffee shop. They were both working at Scooter's to be exact.
Dan is the manager there, but also an incredible musician. Emilee has moved on to a "big girl" job now, but Dan had enough time to convince her to marry him.

This December I get to document their day and I can't wait. They are both hilarious and we had so much fun shooting their engagement pictures. Dan's facial expressions are priceless - it was hard to find a picture where he was actually keeping a straight face or smiling regularly. It made Emilee laugh though, so it was well worth it -

Here are a few:

Leah & Pete were destined to be together. So much so that Leah's friend told Pete one day a year before they ever met, "Do you like Puerto Rican girls? You'll meet my friend, fall in love and marry her someday." And so it is.
This July I have the pleasure of capturing their wedding day, both with photography & videography. In the meantime, here are a few shots from the awesome engagement session we had the other night:
