Angie is an old friend of Brett’s, and their families have been intertwined for many years. I was good friends with Angie’s younger brother, and we all went to a tiny private Christian School here in Cincy. Since we started our photography business, Angie has not only been a huge fan, but a fantastic supporter- sending anyone she can tell our way. We thought it was her time in front of the camera….we had done a session of their kids over a year ago, but she has been avoiding the camera at ALLL costs. In fact, if I didn’t keep her to this, I think she would have found a way to weasel out. ;) But they haven’t had photos of the two of them EVER that they are happy with, so I wanted to make that happen.
Angie had been saying for weeks, “I just don’t think I can look like those couples you shoot!” I just kept telling her she would do fine. We went out and had a great dinner (and drinks), and then headed out to get some great shots of her with her amazing hubby.
Bryan was not nervous at all…in fact I think he could have done a solo shoot. :)
So many funny things were said during this shoot. I think they were asking, “What do we do next?” And Brett responded, “Make a baby.”
We decided to just push her limit to get her comfortable, so we said “Hop up on his back.” Angie said, “Seriously?”
Ties.
Beautiful couple.
We laughed A LOT on this shoot!
Too cool, for school.
Love this one.
HOT SHOES Angie.
My favorite. LOVE this shot.
We played a little, “1-2-3 do whatever you want.” I can’t tell you what they BOTH did on the count of three, but we all were dying laughing. :)
We visited the place where Bryan first proposed. I love the city lights.
Pretty, pretty.
Couple actions shots I took of Brett. His stance was making me laugh…then I figured out he was holding back the ivy. :)
He finished and I snagged his beautiful smile…*love* that crazy boy.
my hired monkey….
Angie, you can calm down now. It’s all over. :) We had such a great night with you guys- more like running around and playing like little kids. Now, we can look forward to your family session this fall!! :) Much love to you and Bryan! (Bryan, you’re a trooper!)
love, Brett and Jess

I cant believe they were hesitant to take pics!! These pics are awesome!! They both look great :)
Yes, they are a BEAUTIFUL couple and these shots have so much personality. Angie reminds me of Toni Collette in a couple shots, particularly the 9th one down, black and white. =) I mean that as a total compliment too, I adore Toni Collette. ;)
