I feel like its been forever since I’ve had an engagement session, well okay, it’s only been like a month since my last one. Now that I think of it, i’m pretty sure this will be my last one before I move. I love getting to know couples and their story and I HIGHLY recommend engagement shoots to every bride and groom. Not only do you get awesome photos of this great time in your life, but you get to learn more about each other and get used to being in front of the camera. So this past weekend I got to photograph Chris and Lilly, Chris is my husbands 3rd cousin? lol who’s counting ha!? Which makes him my 3rd cousin in law. Basically he’s Family ! Anyways, I had a blast finally getting to know these two love birds, they are super cute and cheesy, even after 6 years of dating ! Which is great because it reminds me of my hubby and I.

Chris and Lilly were kind enough to trust me to pick the location and since I had never shot in Las Olas before, I decided to experiment with them and with my new little baby D700 ! Enjoy the sneak peak of their engagement shoot !
