ann and taylor… engaged… saxapahaw nc…..  perfect fall weather + a gorgeous couple + the hippest community anywhere around here = ahhhhsome shoot!!  when ann mentioned doing their session down in saxapahaw  we immediately said YES!!!  saxapahaw is alamance county’s hidden secret and now that its being revamped into a Killer retro/urban community, my guess is its not going to be long and this spot will be Quite well known.  ann and taylor, you guys were so much fun to hang out with!!  we look forward to the next six months as we work with you guys as you plan your wedding!  maybe soon we can carve out an afternoon and take you geocaching for Real!  we are so glad you love your images…. it was a pleasure to shoot the two of you!!

xxoo, JaR

lauren and reid… engaged… georgetown va….  this past weekend we made the drive up to georgetown va for lauren and reids engagement session.  we had gone back and forth over location and the decision to hang out around georgetown Couldn’t have been better!  it was a Gorgeous day, the leaves were perfect, and reid was…. um… not very into the love pictures.  but he knew this was what lauren wanted and he obliged most of the time!  he made my face hurt from laughing the whole time.  i have to say… reid made us work for our money on this one!  ((love you tho reid!!!))  we hope to photograph their wedding in the dominican republic next november!  lauren, thank you for the Wonderfully Scrumptous rice krispy treats!  and for letting us spend the night with you guys!  we had a Blast with you!  here are some of my favorites from the afternoon!  reid, i hope you don’t mind me posting these PDA pics!  xxoox

after spending some time in the park, and then walking down thru the most perfect little neighborhood streets, we visited a spot they frequent often, baked and wired.  if you are anywhere georgetown, you MUST stop in and have a cupcake from this shop!  AND a hot chocolate!  MMMmmmmm…..

then to the canal...


and i couldn’t end this post without some outtakes…. these are so “them”!  i told you they kept me laughing!!!  ; )

and MY favorite... reid had just told a guy walking by not to ever let his girlfriend talk him into "this" (meaning the photoshoot)... haha reid! get him lauren!!

can’t WAIT for your wedding you two!  one fabulous couple, an awesome location, chelsey and wesley and the new little puckett babe, and lots of drinks!  it’ll be Good Times!!!  xxoo, JaR
