Matt & Jennifer's engagement story is too incredible to tell in my own words, so I've gotten permission to let you view the story in Jennifer's words on her blog HERE. Let's just say it is pretty impressive. Go read it. :)
Before the engagement session, Jennifer and I talked a couple of times about what their style was and what they wanted out of these images. The first word she said was, "Sultry". So, I took that word and did with it what I do with every word: I looked up its definition. (I used to carry around a pocket dictionary and thesaurus everywhere I went... NERD) Here is the definition:
sul·try/ˈsəltrē/adj:
1. (of the air or weather) Hot and humid.
2. (of a person, esp. a woman) Attractive in a way that suggests a passionate nature.
My mind was already rollin with ideas.. laying down, dramatic shadows, etc. Little did I know, we would be defining the engagement session using that first definition: Hot and humid. WE WERE SWEATING LIKE PIGS!!! Jennifer is a genius and a planner, so she came prepared with "sweat rags", which we used often. Whew. Matt is a total king for sportin' jeans, shirt, tie (disheveled, I must add. ha), and a sports coat in 106 degree weather. TROOPERS! These guys are getting married in November, and I cannot WAIT to document their day. :D
Ahhhh yeeeeuuuhh! ;)
hahah.. I love Matt's tilted head here.. MAKES this picture.
