Caley + Josh: Engagement

We met with Caley and Josh just after the holidays for their engagement session. They love dogs--especially the ones they own--so naturally, we started out with including their dogs for a few...




It was windy and cold in this little stand of trees, but Caley and Josh were good at staying close and keeping each other warm for the few mintues we were there. We think it paid off... we really like how these next few turned out.












Another favorite...




There was really wonderful end-of-day light here, at the beautiful house of a family Caley knows.




For the last few, we raced the sun down to a small church south of town for the last moments of the day. Caley and Josh mentioned they love "tree pictures," and we won't ever complain about that!


It was a pleasure spending time with Caley and Josh, talking about books, dogs, mutual friends, and everything in between. That's one of the reasons we enjoy engagement sessions so much: we get to spend a good stretch of non-wedding-day time getting to know our couples more before we share in and document the intricacies of their wedding day.

Caley and Josh are planning a outdoor evening wedding in June that will surely be beautiful (and about 50 degrees warmer than their engagement session!), so look for their wedding pictures coming up in a few months!

We'll have Beth and Ben's wedding posts coming up soon!

Beth and Ben,
We'll have them up *soon*! Leandra (and your pictures-being-edited) are in New York at the time, and the internet is here. She gets back tomorrow. We're very excited for you to see them!
