Sunday morning, started with heavy snow falling in Ramsey, Minnesota and I knew it was going to be a perfect day for an Engagement shoot for Cassee & Manny. The pine trees were coated thick with fluffy white powder and I anxiously awaited the afternoon. When Cassee & Manny first pulled up and got out of their truck, I instantly remembered why I loved chatting with them at the Forever Bride Wedding Show back in Novemeber...we just all had a connection! |
I had scouted out the location along a back road a few days before, but I couldn't have imagined how stunning it would be with the fresh snow coming down...and to top it all off...the clouds were lightening up and the sun came out AS THE SNOW FELL! {Swoon} It was the perfect trifecta! Amazing Couple, Snow & Sunshine! |
Somehow I convinced them they just HAD to walk into the tree's, snow up to their knees, but we all laughed and loved the snow and capturing these two love birds in such a beautiful setting paid off in spades! I think you would have to agree, that this was such an amazing photo shoot! Poor Cassee in her cute little boots was a trooper and let Manny cut a path through the fresh snow. Luckily the temperatures were a bit higher than they had been the week before so living without mittens for a bit was do-able. As we wandered I was dying to hear the story of how these two Soulmates met, thinking it would have been love at first sight...but Nope! That wasn't the case at all! |
Manny started with the story, that they met at Dick's Sporting goods, but Cassee just wasn't taking his bait! She held out for 5 long years when he finally asked her out and she said YES! The rest is history and as I watched these two together, I could see their love and playfulness is what brought them together with strong bonds! |
We talked a bit about the wedding this coming Fall, and Manny told me that he is not cutting his hair until the wedding. If he likes it long he will keep it...if not, well...that is ok too! He also plans to try several different styles for his beard before then! I can't wait to see what hair choices he makes! |
As the shoot wound down, I asked them if they wanted to do snow angels. Cassee jumped all over it, I'm pretty sure she had planned this already, and next thing I knew Manny was down in the snow, Cassee following his lead into the soft powder. They were so close to each other that their snow angel looked like one very large snow angel since neither could move their middle |
What a perfect Engagement shoot! So special and fun-loving, these two Loves made it spectacular! They brought their A Game and gave their whole personality to the shoot! I can't believe I need to wait over 9 months before I get to spend time with them again! I think we will need to get another shoot in or at least coffee dates! Thanks Cassee & Manny for making my snowy Sunday Afternoon so Memorable! xoxo Jen |
