Brandi and I had been texting, facebooking, and talking for MONTHS regarding this engagement session. We talked about location, outfits and of course her fiance...JUSTIN. Photo sessions are generally not the male's cup of tea. In fact, most would rather get it done and over with. So in the weeks that led up to this fateful day, I made sure to ask Brandi frequently.."How's Justin?". Her response was always a solid..."He's good...he may need some coaching...but he's good."
It turns out Justin was better than good...he was great! He was incredibly relaxed, so up for anything, so willing to give up a Sunday afternoon while the Bears were on! And as for me coaching him? Well, I basically told him where to stand and he gave every smile, look, and pose with very little input from me.
I think I even caught him truly enjoying himself. Look I have proof...you can't fake a smile like this!

Brandi and Justin just have a very natural way with each other and when i asked what the secret to their relationship is Brandi let me in on some pertinent information. She said...
"Justin and I were voted cutest couple in highschool!"
Obviously they take that title seriously! And in between the more posed shots, I got a glimpse of cute..I mean, beyond cute really...
Justin spinning her around when he thought I wasn't looking.
A few glances that I swear were not prompted by me.
And laughter...lots and lots of laughter!

The last time these two were followed around by their own personal papparazzi, it was for prom! Well, it is great practice for the big day in August 2011. And truly..I was honored to be a part of it!
They are a beautiful couple and your pictures totally capture their love. Fabulous job Lyra!
