Merrit & Matt | Edgewater Park Sunset Engagement

Tremont Scoops Ice Cream EngagementOh man. This engagement session has me falling in love with photography all over again. Merrit and Matt are two of the coolest people ever, and no matter how much they tried to convince me that they were going to be awkward in front of the camera, I just didn't believe them. HOW CUTE ARE THEY? Merrit and Matt were such a joy to have in front of my lens--so much light, positivity and laughter.

We started the gorgeous spring evening off at Tremont Scoops, where we got to indulge in delicious ice cream and break the ice. Win-win! These two love sweets (will you be best friends with me and Nathan?! :) ), so this was the perfect spot to document the two of them hanging out together.

The sunset was unbelievable and I had so much fun using my film camera to capture all that gorgeous glow.

Merrit and Matt will be getting married in Utah in a couple months. I'm so sad I won't be their wedding photographer. Whoever is lucky enough to photograph their wedding has a reallllly fun job ahead of them!

The Johnson Family | Bathgate Scotland Film Lifestyle Photos

Bathgate Scotland Film Family PhotosI've talked about our friends Lindsey and Alex a lot on this blog. They are some of the best people I know, and I can't wait until we live on the same continent again! The main reason Nathan and I visited Scotland last month was to spend some time with the Johnson family and see what their life is like in the outskirts of Edinburgh. As awesome as Skype is, it just doesn't paint the whole picture, you know? Plus, I wanted to hang out with my buddy Evie some more. :)

I have lots more photos of our time in Scotland coming soon, but I wanted to share my very first ALL film lifestyle session with this adorable family. Evie's resemblance to a doll makes these photos that much more precious. She's the sweetest little lady!

He also loves walks and is so patient with little Evie.
