I had been looking forward to Michael and Carrie’s engagement session since I met with Carrie back in early September. I love meeting my couples ahead of time and brainstorming ideas for their engagement sessions. Both the meeting and engagement session really give me a feel for who they are and it helps them to see how I work.

Michael and Carrie are so unique and fun and just a gorgeous couple so I knew the session was going to be fun! We had talked about incorporating some old books into the session and BOY! Did I have fun with that. It really helped to create pictures that were unique and very “them”! 🙂 So let’s start with some of their fun book imagery!

(Just a little side-note…. When I look at this picture – I ALWAYS see Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker from the television show – Chuck!)

I personally LOVE Carrie’s ring! And there is an entire story behind it! Carrie is loves antique and vintage things. So she and Michael were visiting an antique store in Bloomington and found thins ring that she loved but it was yellow gold. They found out that there was a jewelry maker in the shop who could replicate it – so Michael struck up a conversation. Carrie’s ring is a replica of that antique ring she saw. But what adds to her rings beauty is that her mothers wedding ring diamonds are part of her wedding ring and the center stone is her and Michael’s birth stone! (Their birthday is the exact same day!)

Oh my GOSH!!! Carrie – could you be any more gorgeous?!?!

They’re just so cute! This picture melts my heart! 🙂

We timed everything perfectly and the sun started to set as we finished up their session and we got these awesomely beautiful golden images that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE!

Well I hope you enjoyed the pictures! Leave Carrie and Michael a little love in the comments and let them know how gorgeous they are!

Have a fantastic Monday!!!
