Casey and Michael are two incredibly sweet and kind souls whom I simply fell in love with. We met up at their alma mater in Greeley: the University of Northern Colorado. They spent many a days studying and hanging out at a nearby park. So we captured those special places. Michael and Casey were a little nervous at the beginning, but they said my HUMOR definitely loosened them up. hah Me? Humorous? I was honored they thought so. It was a joy to watch these two interact together. Michael is so sweet on her! We had the best time. :-)
Enjoy these two beautiful people. And Casey and Michael, I still owe you dinner! I’ll be seeing you soon.
With love and joy,
René
I love this one on the left.
Some of my faves!
I was stoked Michael brought his old truck! And how cute are they with their matching Tim Tebow jerseys?
I loved that they brought their puppy. It’s a great way to start off a shoot.
LOVE this one!
Oh Casey, you are a DOLL! Your smile is so bright! I love it.
Then we headed to main campus where I saw this crazy bear (their mascot) and just knew there was some fun to be had.
Kiss kiss!
That bear is actually enormous.
LOVE this one! Michael, you are the coolest. Just sayin’.
The light was killer…
Michael spent a lot of his time in this building:
Most of their date nights were spent studying in this library:
So cute!
Wonderful pictures….captures a lot of
joy and happiness…what a wonderful way
to meet my great nephew and his future
bride…Gr. Aunt LInda
Nice looks like a great couple !!!!!
Love the pic! Reminds me of my good old unc days! The coloring is awsome..life in each pic is real.
I love the pictures in the Library! They make me LAUGH!!!! Those colors are amazing too! What a cute couple!
OMG Caitlyn looks soooo cute! :)
hahaha awww and this was her “picture smile” too…so silly. AMAZING JOB René! You’re the best (:
engagements 
Merry Christmas, friends! Hard to believe we are well into December. I hope things aren’t too crazy for you this time of year. Make sure you take an evening or two to soak it all in, bake something Christmasy, watch your favorite holiday movie, and snuggle with the one you love.
I’m off to the second Christmas party of the week this evening, but wanted to show you a pretty neat engagement with sweet Hannah and Austin and their kids! And by kids I mean their dog and horse :-)
So much love and joy to you all. Enjoy and have a happy weekend!:-)
René
So Hannah and Austin didn’t waste anytime being fabulous. These two just worked it.
They were a tiny bit nervous, but who can blame ‘em? They just laughed a lot, which I loved!
And kissed a little too. :-)
Love this one!
Hannah, I’m not sure you know this, but you are SUCH a babe!!
Now check out their gorgeous baby! Love her. Want her.
Austin is pretty cool. He’s one of those gentle, soft spoken, sweet cowboys. I can see why Hannah fell for him.
You guys! I love this one!
All time favorite, right here. You can’t plan this stuff… This one was pure.
Okay, time to meet their second baby.
I think Austin thought I was losing my marbles when I suggested shooting their horse in a back alley.
I think the images came out way cool and made for a great memory!
There is just something between a girl and her horse.
At the end of the night, we had some fun cranking up the ISO to 6400 and dancing in the street.
Hannah and Austin, you two are SUCH GOOD SPORTS. Thank you for putting up with my crazy ideas. :-) Let’s do Pizza Madness again soon!
Merry Christmas to you both. Love you guys!

The end!
LOVE that little boy… he’s too cute!
