a little over a year ago i was so excited to have my dear friend, skye, ask me to photograph an engagement shoot for her and her hubby-to-be, gary! you may know her as the genius child photographer behind work of heart photography and the inspirational blog, reverie mine! and if you are familiar with her work, i am sure you know the butterflies i was feeling in being given such a wonderful honor of photographing her and her beau! so she told me their story and how they were such farm folks at heart and really loved to get to the heart of simple, organic living… and the theme for our homespun farm stand shoot was born! over the course of time we had some scheduling conflicts and somehow it turned into their first anniversary shoot instead of an engagement shoot! so after over a year of brainstorming, collecting, crafting and getting excited, it finally happened. as for the planning, we incorporated our “new” prop, a 1954 lakewood vintage trailer, and transformed it into a funky farm stand itself (we totally renovated it!). we spent hours wrapping gourds and squash to give it them all sweaters for that homespun crafty feel and collaborated on all the fresh veggies and crates. it really was quite magical, and what a true honor it was to photograph a couple that i know holds marriage so very sacred under God and that are just over the moon passionate about one another. xoxo
Time for me to start putting a bug in my honey’s ear!
