Ryan & Mary: Engagement

10.01.2009 at 1:39pm Posted in Engagements

On July 30th two of our best friends, Ryan & Mary, got ENGAGED… to each other! I was HONORED to do their engagement session! I will not be photographing the wedding because I am IN IT!! yay! We were in Murrells Inlet a few weekends ago to photograph Shane & Toni’s wedding, so we got up early Sunday morning for a sunrise shoot on the beach. The only drawback was that the weather was pretty nasty and needless to say, we did not even have a sunrise. Good thing I had incredible subjects! Ryan & Mary, we love you so much and can’t wait for MARCH 27th!!!!!!! Enjoy your pictures!

looking at Wes… he was probably telling them something like, “I have a better angle” or “I’ll do it cheaper”…

Perfect date. Perfect flowers. Perfect marriage. I just love them so much! This is a smorgasbord of photos from the *BIG* day. Since I was a bridesmaid, I #1 did not want to get in the photographer’s way, #2 was a little distracted, and #3 my 10 pound camera would have been pretty noticeable while standing at the front for the ceremony, plus it cramps my dancing style .
