in august i ran into ian and jackie at wedding i was shooting. it was easy to notice them, as a couple they were attractive and not in the physical sense, but in a way that was much more significant. please don’t misunderstand me; these two are very, very handsome and were quite snazzy at the wedding although what i found irresistible was their connection. together they shined – perfectly affectionate and attentive to one another in a way that wasn’t overstated. they never worked hard to make each other smile or laugh. they had that connection, that deep understanding of each other that comes from being in love with a best friend.
fast forward a few months and i heard through the grapevine that ian had asked jackie to be his wife! a few weeks after that we had scheduled a session toward the end of november. i had my fingers crossed that it wouldn’t be bitter cold, but virginia weather is so unpredictable.[ like today, it’s december 5th and currently 65 degrees] thankfully we scored a day that was fairly mild – warm enough when we started for light layers and just a little chilly for denim and sweaters to end.
they invited me to their favorite spot, a quiet lake behind ian’s parents house. they’ve spent an immeasurable amount of time there on the bank snuggling, talking, planning and fishing. it was here that ian popped the question making it an ideal spot for their session. take a look and see just how happy these two are together.
congratulations ian and jackie – keep on shining!
