Hmmm, its been a while since I posted an engagement shoot. Weddings have been taking over the blog!

I am happy to break the wedding line-up with a fantastic engagement shoot with the sweetest couple. 

Cassie and David were an absolute pleasure to photograph. Their interaction with each other was so beautiful. They have been enduring a long distance relationship with Cassie being here in Colorado and David residing in Texas while he is in pilot training for the Air Force. Needless to say I caught some great shots... each embrace and laugh appeared as if it was their first.

Cassie's outfit choices were ADORABLE! I love me some good color and apparently Cassie got that memo! :)

OK- embarrassing photographer story to tell...

Cassie and David got engaged at The Garden of the Gods here in Colorado Springs and requested a few shots there during our time together.

Living in Colorado Springs for 6+ years I was confident we could drive in to the park, snap a few shots, and drive on out.

NOPE! Not what happened...

I proceded to lead us on a 30 min. idiotic drive ALL THE WAY through the park! I guess I wasn't aware that it was "large tour bus day" and "drive 4mph" day at Garden of the Gods. I couldn't pull over becuase well, frankly I am picky and didn't want to just photograph them at the tourist traps of the park, no, I wanted a secluded, unpopular area. But that wasn't happening that day due to the unfortunate situations above and we ended up being dumped off into some podunk tourist center in Manitou Springs.. way off course, and way annoyed and... way embarrassed as I sheepishly crept up to Cassie and David's car window to ask THEM for directions on how the "H E double hockey sticks" to get back to a main road.

We were pressed for time because David had to catch a flight back to Texas in an hour and I decided to give them a tour of Garden of the Gods!!!! Come on! :)

Oh, it was hilarious. 

Luckily I caught some wonderful shots of these two in the amount of time we had. 

Thanks Cassie and David for enduring my shenanigans and for being so darn photogenic!.....   Can't wait for the wedding! :)

oh how I love this shot... this fellow had an enormous personality.
