Engagement

Collin & Megan – Engagement – Missoula, MT

I'm Jackie

Traveling wedding photographer + photography/small biz educator.

Mesmerized by the way two people love each other, each so uniquely.  I always leave room for dessert. Believe swear words are just sentence embellishers. Think indulgences are necessary in this life.

Parties with all the best people in their lives.

Love stories in all forms without the white dress... or maybe they wore white, it happens.

Just my little thoughts on different topics of planning your wedding day big party or just you two.

Stories of two lovers making it all about them, as they should.

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!
