Occasionally, Nicole and I are asked what it is about wedding photography that makes us love it so much. The answer is pretty simple…the amazing couples we are able to photograph. Nicole and I have been so blessed to have absolutely amazing couples, and today’s couple is no exception!

Anna and Beau encompass everything that makes us love wedding photography. They have fun together, they are best friends, and their love for each other is so clearly written on their faces. And, in addition to that, this couple is flat out adorable!!! Nicole and I met Anna and Beau in downtown McKinney, Texas, early last Saturday morning for their engagement session. It took maybe twenty minutes for us to catch our first glimpse of their secret “I love you” signal (even though we had no clue what it meant until they explained it later in the session). It took about five minutes for Anna to tear up when recalling how Beau proposed to her (it involved Beau singing to her!). But it only took about a minute for us to be incredibly happy they chose us to be a part of their wedding day!

We planned on shooting a bit longer than usual since Anna and Beau had lots they wanted to capture, but we ended up shooting even longer than expected! We were having such a great time with these two that it quickly turned into the longest engagement session we’ve ever shot! We met up at 8am and didn’t stop shooting until about 1:30. Ok, to be fair, there was about 45 minutes when we stopped to have lunch at this very tasty burger place called Square Burger. (Square Burger gets a huge must visit in our book! All four of us got something different and we were all very happy!)

The McKinney square is great in that they have zero chain stores or resturaunts. So every place you stop by is local. Some local shops are featured in this blog such as, The Book Gallery. A rare book store with the friendliest owner you could hope to meet! And, if your wife is a minature schnauzer fan like my beautiful wife, then you’re in luck! He has the sweetest little dog in his store. This store is a book lover’s dream as it has all kinds of rare and cool books. In fact, I picked up a few old cowboy books for myself! Also featured is Coffee Squared on the Square. A super cute coffee shop with some great employees! Finally, a few images from Peachy Keen yogurt where we all enjoyed a sweet treat!

I could go on and on and on about this super sweet couple and the great time we had on their engagement session, but for the rest of the blog I’m going to let the pictures do the talking!  Get ready for tons of images because just COULD NOT narrow it down any further!

Anna and Beau, we cannot wait for your wedding, but we’re also stoked for Anna’s upcoming bridal session! :)
