Alicia and I go waayyy back! Like all the way back to high school! Well, it may have been college for me, but still…we go back at least six years or so. I can’t remember exactly when, but we worked at the Pleasant Valley Country Club together. We were part of the “cabana girls” group where we served food and drink to the pool goers in the summer. Alicia and I didn’t see each other after that summer so it’s neat that her wedding is bringing us back together!

Alicia is a girl that knows what we she wants. She contacted me early in the wedding planning process for her October 2013 wedding. We met this past February on a snowy, cold Saturday morning. I remember almost turning around a few times because the roads weren’t in the best condition, but I really wanted to make it to our meeting! I was excited to reunite with Alicia and excited to get down to business…with a girl that knows what she wants. 🙂

We shot their engagement session on what was probably one of the prettiest fall weekends of October. It was decently warm, the sun was shining brightly and the leaves had just hit their peak. This session was full of smiles, laughs, doggy barks, outfit changes, and like I said, sunshine and colorful leaves! I’m pretty excited to capture them again next fall season, too. Hopefully we’ll have another beautiful day for their BIG day! ENJOY!!!

Doug the Pug joined the fun!

A fall engagement session isn’t complete without some leaf-throwing!

A session favorite for me. 🙂

A little bit of playfulness…

These next few are some of my faves from this fall season! I just love all the leaves and colors!

Another session fave for me! This wasn’t where we wanted Doug to stand, but it ended up working out perfectly!

We caught the entire sunset…can’t you just tell by the glowing light??

A little Steeler action…of course!!!

I asked them to wave their Terrible Towels AND kiss at the same time! They said it was much harder than it looks! Try it sometime. 😉

Check this out!! Alicia had her nail artist paint their wedding date on her nails! Super cool!!!

We ended the session with these pretty colors along the road…

How about these woods?? Found ’em along the road! I’m telling you, some of the prettiest photo locations can be found just by driving around!

Thanks for a great session, Alicia and Chad! I know I made you pose a million times, but we had such good light and such a wonderful location, I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity. Besides, I know how important pictures are to Alicia and she told me to keep snapping away! I’ll see you guys next October for another fabulous time of taking pictures! Happy wedding planning in the meantime. 🙂
