Since I don’t photograph weddings, it’s not very often that I get to work with engaged couples. But when I do, it’s SO fun!!! The guy is always trying to get the girl to blush, giggle & there’s a lot of kissing that happens π π It’s SUCH an incredible season in a couples life & I’m always honored to play a small role in it.
Robin contacted me just days after his beautiful Nicole said YES to him at Starved Rock where he TOTALLY surprised her with a proposal. It was going to be a fun session for me personally because I’ve known Robin from church for the past 7 years & I’ve spent fun times with his family. I’m so happy for Robin that he has found his princess π During our FaceTime date we had a week before their session, I could see how much Robin loves Nicole & just simply adores her. Robin & Nicole wanted a fall session at Bradley University in Peoria where they met as students at the College of Engineering & it TOTALLY fit them! Gorgeous campus & gorgeous couple.
I think Robin & Nicole laughed for 80% of their session which I LOVED!!! They are totally smitten with each other & it’s SO obvious.
And she thinks he’s pretty swell as well π
At one point during the session, Robin took Nicole in his arms & just started dancing with her. It was like I wasn’t even there! Oh what a romantic π What a couple! I hope you have many, MANY more times of spontaneous dances in your marriage you two!!!
All because two engineers fell in love π
During our communication before their engagement session, Robin emailed me & what he wrote I’ve been WAITING to share in this blog post:
Robin- Thought I would personally email you here so that you would be prepared for Saturday without Nicole knowingβ¦ hehe π I am just going to completely wing it and do some pretty silly things and make Nicole laugh majorly β¦. Just thought you should know because those might turn into some pretty cute photos!
To this I responded- It’s obvious you care for Nicole a lot!
(Grab a tissue Nicole before reading this next part…)
Robin- I do love her a ton! Itβs kind of amazing when you realize that you want to marry that person that you are with & how much love that you can have for them. I never knew that when you love a person so much that it could hurt!Β
Oh what a great guy you’re getting Nicole!!! And what a treasure the Lord has given you Robin! I pray the Lord will bless the remainder of your engagement & that your marriage will always keep Him first!!! All the best you two!
