James + Bethany { Anniversary Session }

It was an absolute pleasure meeting this couple. In October of this year, they will have been married for 25 years. That's right 25 years. I seriously hope I look this young after I have been married for 25 years. During our session, someone actually asked if we were taking engagement photos! That brought on some smiles! But if you hang out with this couple for very long at all, it's not hard to see how someone would confuse them as an engaged couple. They still have that spark! And it shows in this sneak peak ...

Kori + Andy {E-session Sneak Peak}

Let me just start this blog post by saying that Kori and Andy are one of the cutest couples. He is a big kid at heart, and she loves it. As we walked around grabbing spots to capture photos, we chatted with ease. Kori and Andy have a great way of making you feel comfortable while you're with them. We laughed and walked and walked and walked. I must apologize to Kori. The poor girl was wearing heels. I kept say, "Oh, just one more block. Oh, just one more block." So thank you for not strangling me! :) I could go on about how great this couple is but let the pictures speak for themselves...

Let's go ahead and say what everybody's thinking. Kori, you're gorgeous! 

Amanda + Matt {Engagement Sneak Peak}

I just met this couple for the first time last night. And. I. love. them. I couldn't stop laughing and smiling while I was with them...and then coming home and editing some pictures for a sneak peak, I still couldn't stop smiling. What I love about Amanda and Matt is there are no pretenses with them. No secrets. They show their love for one another in their playfulness. And it is adorable. You can't help but smile.

Our first stop was Chaumette Winery in the beautiful country side of Ste Genevieve. They brought along their furry eight-month old baby, a yellow lab, named Colby. And the shots we got here...just kind of make me a little giddy. :)

We left the winery and drove to their house. They live on a piece of property that has been in Matt's family for many generations. The property is full of scenic and rustic charm. And when I saw this clothes line, I was like, "Oh, yeah, let's hang Matt up with the clothes pins!" Thanks, Matt for being such a good sport!

Thank you so much, Amanda and Matt, for such a fun time. You guys are beautiful on the inside and out!
