Good morning and happy Thursday. Happy November, actually! Let the apple cider, pumpkin pie, raking of leaves, and red Starbucks cups commence. :-) I just love this time of year.
Right now I’m curled up at my desk, sipping coffee, enjoying a leftover York Peppermint Patty from last night’s Halloween treats and loving the smell of my favorite Yankee Candle: Mistletoe. I’m also very excited to introduce to you the sweetest thing since carmel filled Sugar Babies. Hey, Halloween candy is on the mind. :-)
Meet: Rachel and Ben
These two are officially our first couple of 2014. What an honor to be booked so early! Rachel and Ben are perhaps some of the sweetest people I’ve photographed. Ben, an Air Force pilot, and Rachel a soon-to-be elementary school teacher. Their love is quiet, gentle, and playful.
Both enjoy a bit of rock climbing, so we met up at one of their favorite playgrounds: Red Rocks Open Space. The weather was perfect and the light was golden. I hope you enjoy getting to know these two sweethearts.
Ben and Rachel, you know what the best part is about having to wait until 2014 for your wedding? It’s just that much more time that I get to spend with you and get to know you. I can’t wait for your big day and am honored to be the one to capture it. Thank you for being you.
With love and joy,
René
I told you that light was golden. Ahhh… :-)
We also had some fun creating their Save the Dates.
Isn’t that chalkboard appropriate for the teacher in the relationship? :-)
These two had the best outfits!
