We had Lauren & Youssef’s engagement session in the city at two spots – Mt. Washington and the West End Overlook.

Our first stop was Mt. Washington and boy was it chilly and windy!  This gorgeous couple told me that they weren’t into the park kind of engagement session and wanted a more city feel to their photos.  I suggested our locations and I think they worked out perfectly!

Lauren heard about me through her aunt because I photographed her cousin Madi’s senior photos this year!  I love all the connections I make with my clients!  When I met with Lauren & Youssef about their wedding, well I just took to them instantly. They understood me and I understood them!  And, I got hugs when we first met – I love hugs, so I knew right away I’d connect with them! 🙂

While engagement photos weren’t something they were thinking about getting for their wedding, I explained to them that I think they are important.  For two big reasons – 1) It’s good to get to know how my clients act in front of the camera and get to know them better as a couple; and 2) it’s good practice for the wedding day!  They know exactly what I’m looking for when I direct them and tell them to do something.

They were naturals!  And, Tony and I spent the night talking about how fantastic they were.  I love my job, and they made my job so much fun! <3  Can’t wait for their wedding in May!

Here are just a few of their photos..

It was windy!!!

I love the next photo!  Allow me to introduce you to Pierre, their beloved dog!  This photo makes me laugh because he kept trying to get in on the action!  Tony was a professional dog wrangler for most of our time together!

West End Overlook.  It was less windy and like 10 degrees warmer!

Beautiful family photo!

These last two photos are my absolute favorite from their engagement session!  She’s gorgeous, he’s handsome, their dog is cute … that all equals perfection!
