These two people are totally in love. That's all I have to say about that.

















































1. Find a beautiful couple that is totally in love. 2. Use a long lens like a 70-200mm or 85mm
3. Place the 'totally in love" couple in amazing light using the backlighting technique.
4. Have your assistant hold a perfectly bloomed dogwood or royal empress tree between you and the couple.
5. Click.





We spent the day taking photos at Lauren's family farm out in Lebanon. It was such a beautiful place. Lauren and Patrick spend as much time as possible on the Lake so we made sure to get some photos on the boat docks. They also had 6 professionally trained German Sheppards in the garage so I was in a constant state of fear thinking that they were smart enough to reach up and press the button to open the garage door. Luckily, that didn't happen and instead we had a blast taking photos. Can't wait for the wedding!
