Every now and then I drive by a particular spot, and I think to myself, “What a perfect place for a photoshoot.” I add it to the mental catalog, and nine times out of ten, I completely forget about it and move on. However, there is one tiny little forest just off 75 in McKinney that I have been eying for years, just waiting for the right couple to take there, and with Erin and Tyler, I finally got my chance. Erin and Tyler are quite possibly the most laid-back bride and groom in the history of weddings. At their engagement session – which happened about a week before we left for Ireland for their wedding – Erin sprang the news on me that she had not yet purchased a wedding dress, and didn’t really even have any plans where to start. This is the kind of thing that most brides have nightmares about (I had that particular nightmare no less than ten times myself), but Erin just smiled, shrugged her shoulders, and said “It’ll work out.”  With that kind of positive attitude, I knew that she and Tyler would be the perfect opportunity for me to suggest that we just pull off the highway and shoot their engagement session in a random patch of woods. True to form, Erin and Tyler jumped right in, and it turned out to be one of my favorite engagement sessions this year. I can’t wait to show you their incredible Irish wedding, but for now, here are a few of my favorites from their engagement session:

  2. Those two look so incredibly happy together! You really captured the emotion and love of the two of them. I love her blue hat, very cute. My favorite is the two of them with the tree and the lens flare giving a beautiful rainbow by their feet. Such great work!
