Katie and Rhet: Engagement

I had the privilege of taking engagement pictures for the fabulous (and I mean FABULOUS) Katie and Rhet. This beautiful couple received my information from a good friend, Brittany Higgins. She graciously referred Katie and Rhet to me and I am so thankful!

I spent 3.5 hours (yes, 3.5 hours!) with Katie and Rhet exploring the Antietam Battlefield and the city of Hagerstown. It was worth every minute. Check out these beautiful results! WARNING: lots of pictures and lots of FABULOUSNESS!

I love experimenting and trying new things when on a shoot so I was very happy with how this one turned out!

Katie and Rhet brought their new dog, Camedon, along for the shoot. What a great family photo!

Rhet is an amazing musician and singer. I was so glad he brought his guitar. Next album cover maybe?? :)

I was laying on the road to get this shot. Like I said, I like to try new things. :)

Change of clothes! Purple and yellow - amazingly awesome complimentary colors!

Their shoes were awesome!

Katie's friends Lacy and Bubba tagged along for part of the shoot. They helped keep Camedon entertained while I worked with Katie and Rhet. Thanks for being great helpers, Lacy and Bubba!

Finally! Railroad tracks for an engagement session!

Might be the cutest one of the bunch!

I love when a couple brings their own ideas and unique personalities to the shoot.

Check out that beautiful blue sky! We didn't allow a little darkness to stop us!

We were hoping to get some shots in the rain to add an extra element of surprise and attitude to the session. It wasn't raining that day so Katie and Rhet decided to bring their own "rain"...

I LOVE the light and color in this one. I didn't know night shots could be so cool!

Rhet wanted to try the "airplane" during the session. Don't you remember doing this with your parents, grandparents and babysitters back in the day? I do!

Gotta have a little fun. :)

Shortly after I gave Rhet their completed engagement lifestyle portrait collection CD, he texted me and was loving the pictures! Not too long after that Rhet texted me again and asked me to be their wedding photographer. I was soooo excited! Rhet and Katie are such a wonderful couple. I cannot wait to shoot their wedding!

Rhet and Katie - thank you so much for being up for anything, and for being just so plain fabulous!
