Vickie contacted me over a year ago to ask me if I could photograph her wedding. I met Vicki two years ago at Webster, where we both received our master’s degrees in Counseling. {go us!} I was excited but the wedding was so far away I didn’t think much about it…needless to say time went by really really quick…here we are and wow, the wedding is in a few months and will certainly be here before we know it. Here are a few photos from this very sweet couple’s engagement session.
The above photo was taken at a church courtyard and while we were there a couple was getting married. I thought it was a good omen. 
Here is Bruce, the to-be-groom.
…and the bride-to-be, Vickie
I loved capturing these intimate moments. Sooo sweet!
Bruce has the sweetest smile I have ever seen. Seriously. As a matter of fact, I’ve shown these photos to a few friends the same day of our photo shoot and they all remarked how cute this couple was and how Bruce looked like a nice guy.
Here’s a sweet one of Vicki {who was very photogenic}
I think this set of photos are my favorites. The love they have for each other is conveyed through these photos. {awwwwwwww}
Thank you two for being so wonderful and letting me be a part of your special memories! I can’t wait to capture your beautiful wedding day!

P.S. – I don’t think I have ever said “awwwwwww” so much in any other photo shoot. Not even the one with Zack Borer.
P.P.S – Vickie loves Hello Kitty and wants to somehow incorporate her into their wedding. I really hope she does!
P.P.P.S – Here’s a behind the scenes photo of Jeff, my second shooter and Daniel who was visiting Jax this past weekend and helped me out by holding the reflector.
Carmen, I love these photos almost as much as I love my friend Vicki! Just kidding! The shots are absolutely beautiful! They are such a gorgeous couple, and I must say you’ve captured every ounce of it! Vick, you guys are so blessed to be able to create such wonderful memories! Enjoy!
Thank you so much for the wonderful & inspiring comments. They are appreciated more than you know! ~Carmen

Carmen!!! These photographs brought tears to my eyes. They are gorgeous!!! Your capturing of this couple is breathtaking. Vickie’s eyes are glowing. Bruce’s smile radiates his love for his precious wife-to-be. Thank you for sharing your talent. I look forward to seeing the wedding photographs. Vickie, you selected the right one–husband and photographer.
Oh Vicki look at you. You and your young man have taken some beautiful pictures. I know your Mom is so proud of you and your accomplishments, but most of for you putting the Lord first in your life. I pray for you, much love and happiness in your marriage and for your continued faith in the Lord. Wish I could be with you on your second big day of your life. Blessings to you both. Love You.
