You may remember Mary and her awesome dog and horse shoot from last summer… I remember us discussing how she was dating this great guy…how happy she was…and it was obvious – -she absolutely glowed when his name came up!
Fast forward to the fall when I get an AMAZING call from Mary — that she and Ryan were engaged! They are getting married this fall — and as it should be — they BOTH glow when they are together. Ryan loves animals and nature as much as Mary does — I can’t wait to see what crazy details they come up with for their wedding day.
As the day approached for their engagement shoot — I was watching the weather and realized that the day we were going to shoot was supposed to be AWFUL — so I shot a quick email and basically BEGGED them to shoot with me TODAY as it was sunny and pretty and I really really wanted a nice day for them…needless to say — they said yes, and although it was CRAZY cold out — we still managed to have fun with their cool dogs and great light.
I can’t believe I got all four of them in the same frame…sitting at the same time!
The light! The light!
This field was awesome. I don’t know if Mary and Ryan LOVED being all up in the brush — but it LOOKED cool. And that is what is important in photographs, eh?
I’m not afraid to tell you this: I took this one only for Mary. 
Dear Mary and Ryan. I had fun. I love your dogs. And you two are so great together. Love Tam. PS: Please bring dogs to wedding. ::grin::
