Thursday morning I met up with Collin & Megan for their engagement session.  The weather called for rain and these two said they wanted to do them rain or shine.  Honestly, part of me was praying for a downpour! It would have been so much fun.  Instead I woke up to sunshine!  I had been emailing back and forth with these two for weeks and was so excited I couldn’t sit still.

I always send out a questionnaire to my new couples just to learn a little about them. Plus they are so fun to read!  Well, Collin admitted to me that they weren’t officially engaged.  They were going to get married but Megan’s sister is engaged and was having a party less than a week before our photoshoot, and they didn’t want to steal the thunder from her so they decided to wait to announce their engagement until Megan flew up to Montana on Monday.  This is so nice, right?!  Then Collin continued to tell me that after she flew in he planned to take her up to an area over looking the Frenchtown valley at sunset and propose. Ooooooooo, SO exciting!  Sure enough Collin took her up there and proposed.  When we met up I asked her about it and how exciting it was.  She laughed and said she knew it was happening.  Apparently Collin was running around grabbing stuff to leave and Megan saw the box on the table.  She just acted really excited HAHA!

These two are SO in love, and all about having a good time!  They were so easy to photography I just couldn’t believe it!  I couldn’t even finish telling them where to sit/stand and they were already there, smiling, kissing, laughing… it was AWESOME!  Megan loves to just have some fun, and make some faces, for example:

Collin would say “MEGAN! These are our engagement photos!”  Megan’s reply was “Well, ya, I probably should show my normal face in some of them!”

I loved every minute with these two.  They are beautiful, full of life and so  in love!  Okay, okay I’ll stop talking and let you see them!

A few days ago I spent a couple hours with this great couple, Blake & Hawa.  They were much taller than I had expected… keep in mind I’m 5’3″.  But, they were TALL!  They are new to Missoula and will only be living here til the end of the year.  We ran around the campus of the University, over to the footbridge, and then down the riverwalk… we did a lot of walking and they were quite the troopers!

Blake & Hawa met during college at Washington State University and it was pretty much love at first sight! Even better they met at the bus stop! And in Hawa’s own words “It was a whirlwind from that point on.”   They both had made an agreement that they wouldn’t marry til after they were finished with school.  Blake graduated in December and went to work in Arizona and Hawa was still in school but went to visit him often.  She went down to see him last month and on her last day there they went down to the Colorado River, had a picnic, and went swimming.  Then as the sun was setting he proposed!!!!  Now they are getting married back in Washington on August 8th! What a great day to get married!!! I would know I got married the same day… twice! HAHA! (Legal one year and ceremony in Mexico the next… not to 2 different men you crazies!)

I enjoyed every minute with Blake & Hawa they are such a fun, awesome couple, who are really madly in love with one another.  Blake & Hawa I wish you the best that life and love have to offer!!!  Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding!

Here they are!!!!!!!!

And my personal FAVORITE!!!!
