<title>Karen & Shawn are gonna get married!!!! {engagement photographer Milledgeville Savannah Georgia}

Ya know how it is when you meet a couple that just makes sense? Well, that's exactly how I felt from the very first time I met Karen and Shawn. First of all, I was super impressed that Shawn actually accompanied Karen to our first meeting at Starbucks. I've been really blessed with awesome bridal couples, but I do think that Shawn was the first one to come with his bride to meet me. I won't lie and say he was hoping for a long visit over coffee, but he was there. And he chimed in a little. So, one point for Shawn! :)
Karen and Shawn are getting married here in Milledgeville in a few weeks. Karen has shown me alot of her decor inspiration pictures and I absolutely can NOT wait to shoot this wedding! She has thought of so many thoughtful details. I have no doubt it is going to go down as one of my most favorite weddings ever. :)
Karen and Shawn have been together...oh....I think she said....like..maybe....10 years!?!!? Yes, you read that right! And, just because they don't like to rush things, they've been engaged for the last 3 years!!! Ok..yes, I was a little surprised when they told me the mathematical side of this relationship. But really, I think I get it. They are so comfortable together. They just fit perfectly. They get each other. What's the big hurry? Right? :)
Wanna hear the real kicker?!? Shawn is the one that decided the wedding location and told Karen when the big event was gonna go down. Make that two points for Shawn. He got the basics taken care of and Karen is working hard to make this wedding her vision of perfection. Precious hand painted signs and all! I really am so excited about all of the little details. I've even already seen her beautiful dress and I'm pretty sure there will be a dog in a bowtie! Seriously!?! How could I not be excited about this!?
For their engagement session, we broke it into 2 days. Karen had two locations she wanted to shoot but we knew there wouldn't be enough light to do them on the same night. So we started at the Specht Farm and got some incredible images there. This past Monday we went up to a dairy farm in Eatonton. Let me say, this was a hysterical experience. Karen had inspiration pictures she pulled off the internet of a couple in a haybarn. Super cute and I was thrilled to recreate these for her and Shawn. But the best part of this trip to the farm was the dairy cows! I've attracted an audience before while doing photo shoots. No big deal, just part of most people's natural curiosity. But this was the first time EVER I've attracted an audience of this type...those cows were WAYYY interested in our photo shoot. And these cows had some major personality! I couldn't help but snap a few pics of them, too! So, here are some of the images from Karen and Shawn's engagement sessions. :) I am so excited about your upcoming wedding!!!!! :)

That is what I call a beautiful happy bride!

He ♥'s her!!!

Sweet love...in a field full of bugs that couldn't help but bite sweet Karen. Both Shawn and myself came out relatively unscathed.

This is the pup that delivered the engagement ring! :) Yup....Shawn scores another point. 3?!

We shot a few at their home in the kitchen. I'm pretty sure Shawn was done with the whole photo session at that point, but we tried. There are a couple of cute ones from their kitchen. :) BUT, I want to make sure you don't miss the picture in the middle of the 3rd column. :)
