They have one of those great “how we met” stories that involves meeting in a bar, dating each other’s best friends, and finally discovering their true love for one another. Well done, guys. “We met in a bar” stories are my some of my favorites! We spent a beautiful afternoon at the Country Village in Bothell giggling, taking pictures, and admiring some roosters with really funky hair. Melissa wanted a country feel to her engagement pictures. As her mom says, “she’s a country girl at heart”. We didn’t find any big open fields or run down barns, but with a little extra backcombing, some great buildings and precious little nooks we faked a pretty awesome country location. Melissa and her cowboy are gettin’ hitched this Summer in Mexico!
I asked Tony to hold onto Melissa tightly and perhaps tell her a little secret. He did. I have no idea what was said but I’m certain it was juicy. Melissa’s reaction was picture perfect.
Like me, Melissa loves black and white pictures. I love the classic look. But my favorite part? They go with EVERYTHING!! Any room. Any decor. Any frame. Done.
These two lovebirds were so much fun to hang out with. At one point I was changing lenses and Melissa says, “okay, I’m gonna tell you a joke”. She started into this story about cussing and kids and damn and hell and just as I got my camera ready and up to my face she hit the punch line and I could only snap a few straight pictures before I gave in to the laughter and started taking random blurry pictures. It’s okay. I’m a professional
If you want to see those pictures, you’ll have to check out the slideshow!
Melissa & Tony, I think we’re going to have to grab a beer sometime (and discuss those boudoir pictures?). Hahaha….enjoy your slideshow!
