Melissa and Zak Engagement Photos

I think I have the most fun at sessions with my friends.  I was so excited when Melissa asked me to do engagement photos of her and Zak because I enjoy spending time with them.  And as much as I enjoy doing sessions with babies and toddlers, adults are a lot easier!  I didn't have to spend half the session chasing anyone around or making ridiculous noises just to elicit a smile from somebody, haha!
Our session in general was fantastic!  We went to Allerton Park; I had suggested it because I had never done a session there as a photographer, but my husband and I had our engagement photos there so I knew there would be beautiful backdrops everywhere.  The weather was perfect- partly sunny and warm enough not to need a jacket, but cool enough that no one was sweating.  The only problem we had was the little bugs that kept biting us, but Melissa and Zak were troopers in holding poses even when they were getting bitten!
 I could not be happier for Melissa and Zak- they are an amazing couple and I know they will have a long, happy life together. 

I feel like I should explain these 2 photos: I had Melissa and Zak write down 3 things they loved about each other but not show it to the other person.  Then we did photos with the chalkboards- they won't see what the other wrote until they get the pictures.  Just a fun little surprise ;)
