Courtney + Ryan

I point the camera in an engagement session and trust that it will find “it.” The connection. The love. The whole raison d’être for taking engagement photos in the first place. It shows up even in those moments at first when a couple might be feeling particularly awkward about putting their relationship on display. Maybe it’s when they laugh over the awkwardness. Or when they look into each other’s eyes and take comfort in the fact that those eyes comfort them more than any others. I snap. Love. Courtney and Ryan admitted before I took a single photo that they felt pretty uncomfortable getting their picture taken. But it didn’t matter. They leaned against walls and walked and held hands and kissed and, clearly, never stopped loving.
