Jon + Sarah

Jon and Sarah were good friends throughout college. They had classes together and had similar social circles, but it wasn't until grad school that the whole love thing began. In fact, Jon and Sarah had "a reverse DTR" just months before Jon decided he liked Sarah. FYI, DTR = Define the Relationship, usually it's when people go from being friends into a relationship, but in this case the DTR defined the friendship as purely platonic. That is until God decided to open Jon's eyes to how incredible Sarah is.

So, a few months after the reverse DTR, Jon and Sarah were walking to class as they usually did and he picked up a buckeye off the ground. It still had the shell on it, so he threw it on the ground to break the shell and a piece of it whizzed by Sarah's head. It was at this moment that Jon realized he liked Sarah. In fact, he even went and found the buckeye that almost hit her, carved the date in it, and saved it.

Exactly 6 months later the two of them are in Rome together during their student teaching and they had their first date. He gave her the buckeye, she gave him her heart, and the rest is history. :)

(Well, I do have to add in that I got to help with the engagement. I painted a sign that their parents held as part of the proposal at Liberty Memorial.

Dena and David E-session.

Dena, David and I went on a photography adventure yesterday. I took them to my favorite shooting location, and they voluntarily waded through frigid water, slipped around in thick mud, and climbed over all sorts of rocks. (I promise I won't make you two do these things on your wedding day!) My flip flops took a beating, but it was well worth it for these spectacular images. I posted just a couple of my favorite images, but you should watch the video slide show to see all the photos from the shoot.

It was definitely a memorable session. I loved editing these photos because you can really see the connection between the two of them. David is crazy about her and she is equally in love with him. I am so excited to shoot the wedding in August.
