Requests for dogs at sessions and weddings? Common. Requests for horses to take the spotlight during an engagement session? Not everyday and it may be one of my favorite engagement sessions to date because of just that! I met Stefanie and Chris at an equestrian center where she boards her horse for their mid-summer engagement session and we had the best time! I love meeting with my couples before their wedding day for consultations, engagement sessions, or for any other reason. When their wedding day rolls around, we are already so comfortable with one another and I honestly feel like I’m being reunited with friends. That is the ultimate benefit of an engagement session and leads to even more stunning wedding day portraits because you already feel incredibly comfortable in front of my camera! Chris and Stefanie (and Mesha, of course) rocked their session and I am so ready for their rustic lodge wedding next summer!
