Leah and Bryan are quickly on their way to becoming some of my favorite clients of all time.  Not only are they just nice, friendly people (which seems to be a trend among my clients – I’m a lucky woman!), but they’re also up for trying anything, which is a photographer’s dream.  They allowed me to drag them out to an old semi-abandoned cotton mill in McKinney, and we had a blast wandering around the crumbling old building.  They’re both naturals in front of the camera, so great at reacting genuinely and falling into a pose in the most perfect way, not to mention that they are both gorgeous.  I seriously could shoot these two all day long, and I can’t wait to do just that at their wedding!  Until then, here are some of my favorites from their engagement session:

I made a day trip to the Woodlands yesterday to shoot Leah’s bridal session, and I can’t stop gushing about it.  It was one of the most unique, innovative, and memorable sessions I have ever done.. It was one of those days where everything just fell into place – beautiful bride in a beautiful dress with beautiful weather at a beautiful venue using beautiful props – which made my job way, way too easy.  I am DYING to show off the images, but we’ll just have to wait until June 13!

    They’re all great. But the one of him and her dancing with her dress flared is one of my favorite Stacy Reeve pics ever. Really beautiful and timeless!!

    What a terrific shot of her spinning while they are dancing! I just love the lighting at the Mill. and I LOVE her dress! I also really like the processing you did of him sitting and her standing next to the chair.
