Dayna + Chuck | Engagement

There is so much I could say about Dayna and Chuck. From the subject of her first e-mail to me...I knew I was going to shoot her wedding no matter what she could afford. She is so full of life and has an off-the-wall personality that I adore. She loves photos almost as much as I do and it showed in how long the engagement session lasted. We packed up Gavin (and practically everything he owns...it's amazing how much a baby needs) and traveled to Starkville, Ms. Literally one minute before the scheduled engagement session...it started to downpour. We waited it out and thankfully blue skys followed. Now we were on a time crunch. They both had put so much thought and effort into today's shoot, from hair appointments to props, props, and props I was worried we wouldn't get it all. I snapped this picture below as Travis and I tailed behind them on MSU campus.


...and this wasn't even half of there stuff. After covering the campus, we rushed over to their wedding venue (Waverly Waters) with barely enough sunlight left to do much of anything, only to find out that there was a church retreat there. Instead, we took some night shots, but after traveling five and a half hours and what I felt like a disappointing shoot, Travis and I decided to stick around that night and give it a go the next day. So here are a few of the images of the longest (and arguably the funnest) engagement shoot ever.

Standing where they had their first conversation.

Don't want to put up to many...I want her to be surprised when she receives her pictures in the mail. Travis and I are SO looking forward to their wedding this spring.
