Bri decided to go to the play that night. It just had to be that night, but she didn't know it. There's just something special about going to your own old high school's play, even after you're graduated. She just didn't know why it was special until she saw him in the audience. Her heart skipped a few beats, and her eyes did a double-take. It was Travis.
She had secretly harbored a crush on him during her sophomore year in high school. But the timing was never quite right, since she was dating someone else at the time. Yet, the two of them were able to establish a friendship, and for that she was grateful. She just hoped it could continue now that their paths had crossed again.
Travis was also smitten. Bri was beautiful, friendly, and fun to be around. As luck would have it, Bri reminded him of a date he owed her after he had to say no to a girls-choice dance she'd asked him to years ago. He was grateful for an excuse to ask her for her phone number.
Bri didn't think he'd actually call her. But he did, and they were able to deepen their friendship through dating. However, they weren't meant to be together quite yet . . .
Travis left the state and served a mission for the LDS church. He hoped that Bri would continue to keep in touch with him. He knew his path needed to go in this direction at this time in his life, but he didn't want to lose her.
The one thing consistent about life besides change, is busy-ness. Bri wrote him a couple letters, but other than that sort of lost contact with Travis. But something brought her back. Some nagging feeling that she didn't want to lose him either.
For the third time, Travis and Bri came back into each others' lives. That's when love was able to enter their lives more fully. The timing was right and their feelings for one another was deep and mutual.
I had so much fun photographing these two and am so excited to be photographing their wedding this December! Enjoy "some" of my favorites from their session!
I really like this "washed-out" look to this picture . . . Bri is so gorgeous!
And for some Halloween spirit . . . . yet romantic . . .
I seriously love these next two because they are so natural and real.
I usually always try to be "artistic" in all of my poses, angles, etc. But never underestimate the power of the moment! Un-posed, totally natural! I sure love those moments once in a while too when they come of their own accord!
Johnny's picture (he mostly was holding lights, reflectors, etc. for me, and so he only got a few of his own pictures. But the actual few that he got, I love!)
Um . . . yep my very fav!:
These two actually became "officially" engaged the night before, and are far apart due to Travis' schooling in Wyoming. I hope some of these picts can give them some comfort while away from one another for the next couple months. It can definitely be hard to be engaged long-distantly! But December will come sooner than you know!
Thanks again Bri & Travis for letting me be apart of this special time in your lives and capture it in a way that will be memorable for years to come!
Yep, I'm still here! I'm just a crazy editing woman this week! But I couldn't hold Jessica and Kevin in suspense any longer from their amazing groomal session!
