I know Bernadette has been eagerly awaiting these–thank you for waiting, Bernadette!<\/p>\n

We had to reschedule Bernadette and Haydn’s engagement portrait shoot last weekend due to weather, and my parents are visiting us this weekend (from our native Seattle), so thanks Bernadette for being patient on your sneak peeks! (And thanks to my mom and dad for letting us reschedule the shoot during their visit!)<\/p>\n

We adore Bernadette and Haydn. They are oodles of fun, and just as nice as can be. I think that having a sense of humor is very helpful in marriage, and these two have that down:<\/p>\n

I have been telling Bernadette for some time that just as soon as our business is big enough, I’m going to be knocking down her door begging her to be our studio manager. After yesterday’s shoot, though, I realized I also need to hire her as my personal wardrobe manager. This girl can dress<\/em>. She brought three outfits complete with the perfect accessories. Check out the way her necklace brings her shirt and Haydn’s shirt together. (When they drove up, Nic couldn’t see them getting out of the car–all he could see were some killer red shoes and he said “I think that’s them–I see cute shoes.”)<\/p>\n

Bernadette wanted to take some pictures with their two dogs to use as table number displays. She was hoping for something fun and crazy and silly, and we definitely covered all of the above. My favorite “totally out of control” shot is this one:<\/p>\n

They are not at all competitive. Not at all. There was neither arm wrestling nor serious skeeball face offs at our shoot…never mind the photographic evidence.<\/p>\n

Just in case you are wondering, these are not<\/em> the prettiest eyes in the world. These, we were informed by Haydn, are the second<\/em> prettiest eyes in the world. Who has the actual prettiest eyes in the world? Haydn.<\/p>\n

(Nic and I laughed just as much at the shoot as Haydn and Bernadette!)<\/p>\n

We’ll end with a playful saucy one.<\/p>\n

I’m hoping to post a couple more this week. Thanks again, Bernadette and Haydn, for a wonderful shoot! We hope we captured how FUN you guys are and we can’t wait for your wedding–we know it will be amazing! You guys are the best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
