Hand in hand, Jessica and Patrick walked under a tangle of vines in Mill Race Park. They couldn’t help but to look at each other and smile lovingly as they walked. In a few places, light broke through the vines, illuminating their smiles and exposing the way they gazed at each other with fondness. It was a beautiful moment.

I had so much fun capturing Jessica and Patrick during their engagement shoot. We did it just a few days before their wedding, as a way to warm up to the idea of being in front of the camera. It didn’t take long for the two of them to get comfortable and pretty soon they were acting like pros. Their wedding will be up on the blog sometime next week, so stay tuned for more of this great couple!
