BJ & Mikka: Engagement

July 20, 2009

Mikka told BJ about her dream to one day build a house on a beautiful hill in the country where she grew up. Not that she was hinting at anything, since they started dating in high school. Several years later, before Mikka headed out for night with the girls, BJ asked her to show him the exact spot she wanted to build the house of her dreams. In her high heels and dressy clothes, they treaded through the high grass to get to her dream spot. “Okay, here it is. Can we go now???” She asked him in a hurry.  BJ got on one knee and asked for permission to spend the rest of his life with her, hopefully one day in a house on that very hill. I think the evening with the girls was probably cancelled. :)

BJ and Mikka, it was so good to see you both again. I can’t wait to spend the day with you in October as you exchange your vows! Thank you for trusting me to capture this time in your lives! Enjoy your sneak peek!

I think it’s so sweet how he can make her giggle and laugh.

Don’t you love BJ’s look? It’s like he’s saying “I am SO lucky.” And you can tell, she’s totally into him. Love it.

Special thanks to The Inn on Lake Granbury for allowing us to shoot on their property. I would HIGHLY reccommend this bed and breakfast to anyone looking for somewhere to stay while visiting Granbury or if your looking for a romantic getaway. In fact, this is where Eric proposed to me a couple years ago! Maybe I’ll share our story on our anniversary! :) So, check them out!

Mikka: I love them! Can't wait to see the rest!

Amy (Eakin) Wood

I don’t even know how to describe Amy’s beauty. She’s amazing, inside and out. Simply beautiful. I have been waiting for weeks to post her bridal pictures because I didn’t want her new hubby Ryan to see them before the big day. Well last Saturday was the big day. I had such a great time with Micah, who was my second shooter, trying to capture the day for Ryan and Amy. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful and I’m so honored that they chose me to photograph it for them! I’ll have to tell you more about Ryan and Amy’s story when I post their wedding pictures (which I’m working hard to post process and should have blogged within the next couple weeks)!
Here is the stunning Mrs. Amy Wood.
