Matt & Amanda: Engagement Sneak Peeks

^Matt & Amanda have infectious smiles & humor! : )

The skies were blue and the leaves were on fire when we met up with Matt & Amanda at the Madison Arboretum for their engagement session. When I met them a few weeks ago, I knew I would be LOL'ing all the time. Both of them have the goofiest sense of humor which Nicole & I fully appreciate. We had a blast following them around. Both are naturally in love as I hardly ever had to tell them to snuggle or kiss. I cannot wait to see them next year for their intimate outdoor wedding and to see what else they are willing to do for some fun shots! ; )

And now, drum roll........ Sneak Peeeeeekssss ->
^I asked if they could get closer, they got real close.

^The name of the building makes me giggle - 'Pump House'

^One of my favs from the day, I think it fully expresses how happy and in love they are.

WARNING:
I use Engagement Sessions as a way to get to know a couple and for the couple to get to know us. I feel it is super-important to do this so when it comes time for the big day, everyone knows what to expect. Sometimes I ask my couples to do something a little crazy or outragous, just to see where their comfort level is. I've had people jump off walls, climb out onto tree branches over a lack, stand in busy streets and even did the upside down spider-man kiss.
But Matt has topped them all when I asked him to lay on the ground and get hosed by a high-pressured water pump. It was near the beginning of the session when I suggested it as more of a joke, but he said ok. I then felt a need to talk him out of it and said 'let's save it for later as you will get wet'. I was hoping he would forget about it towards the end of the session, but he remembered. Seeing that I wasn't going to be able to talk him out of it, I set up the shot... Thank you Matt for being a brave and outgoing soul!

  1. After the spraying, the leaves don't appear very wet -- is that a reflection on the size of Matt's mouth?
