I’ve been hunkering down & editing & one thing I love about being busy is that it’s easy to forget all the funny & cool moments from a shoot. And then – voila – you get to editing and it’s like reliving the whole shoot!

These two (nuts!) are such fun and I cannot wait for the wedding! They’re kind of the definition of opposites attract – Kristin is well organized, everything is planned out, and Chris is Mr. Fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants. Kristin is (like me) a worrier – all the details have to be thought out with a plan A, B, C & D… Chris – he’s laid back and knows that it will all just work out (like my husband). It’s a great combination, and they are such such fun to be around. They compliment each other so well & it’s so sweet to see a big tough guy just totally smitten & in love.

I had a great time taking them out to beautiful Rosemary Beach, which always makes me hungry because it’s filled with… well… Rosemary!  It is as beautiful as it smells, and sits right along 30-A past Destin, past Seaside, past Alys Beach.  In fact, it’s at the very end of Hwy 30-A just before Panama City Beach & Carillon Beach.  It’s beautiful, very relaxed, and has this awesome Mediterranean beach feel all while being a little bit artsy.

Ok, I’m yapping as usual – so on with the sneak preview huh!?

By the way, when posting this photo, I feel obligated to let everyone know that they both have mad hoola-hoop skills.  Something I do NOT have! lol.  And by the way, if you’re ever out at Rosemary Beach or even just touring 30-A, you have to stop by this little toy store, there’s also an awesome little kids clothing shop which I’m totally addicted to – and the Cowgirl Cafe with the most amazing white chicken chili!

And no kidding – are these not the most awesome icy blue eyes?

And this is hilarious, here is Chris… being Chris lol:

(I have a feeling that’s exactly what made Kristin fall in love though ;) )

And of course… the video!

I love the way these look with them dressed in black.  The french quarter look & feel of Village of Baytowne Wharf really helps since just about anything goes!

We’ll be doing Part II of the engagement pictures just as soon as the weather warms up! Then we’ll be headed to the beautiful beaches of Destin or Grayton Beach and try out some really awesome beach pictures. I have no doubt that they’ll take another great set of pictures!

Stay tuned for more!

I was even more excited when they told me they’d be happy to have me do their engagement pictures and they were open to any place along the Emerald Coast. They weren’t real sure they wanted them on the beach, so I decided to take them down to Village of Baytowne Wharf in Destin, Florida right across from the Hilton Sandestin Beach & Golf Resort. In fact, they’re technically also part of Sandestin & part of the Hilton Sandestin property. However, rather than being on the beach, it’s just north of the Beach, but with all the same Sandestin Hilton Charm! If you’re looking for a great place to get married, have a reception, or just go have some fun, great food & do a little shopping, Village of Baytown Wharf & Sandestin Hilton are a great spot! Village of Baytowne even has regular events for children & families! Luckily this time of year it wasn’t too crowded though, and it made for great engagement pictures!

Here’s just a tiny sneak peek!
