Matt & Nicole
I'm one of the lucky people in the world who is able to partake in multiple jobs & enjoy them all. I'm a third grade teacher and a photographer, and a day rarely goes by when I don't enjoy either. The most exciting part of these two jobs is when the two are able to harmonize.
I've known Nicole for little over a year now--she was the student teacher in the classroom I was an aide in last year, and we ended up being coworkers at the beginning of this year (her as the computer teacher and myself as the basic skills teacher). We've been able to bond over classroom mishaps & a similar sense of humor, and the topic of weddings. I was so excited for her when she came to school one morning and subtly tried to hint at the engagement ring on her finger. Sadly it took me a very long time to realize what her discreet hints were directed towards, but when it finally hit me, I was ecstatic for her.
She asked me to take the engagement photos for her and fiance, and I was able to meet the elusive Matt. I had heard so much about him over the time Nicole & I worked together, and it was a pleasure to finally meet him and help the two of them out.
For the record, it was freezing. Nicole suggested we take the photos at a park where her & Matt spent a lot of time at the beginning of their relationship, and I willingly accepted. For those clients whom I've worked with, it's no secret that I love a good outdoor excursion (especially ones where I can climb into precarious spots). Despite how serene the lake was and how picturesque the park was, the freezing temperatures were very hard to ignore. Ironically enough, I was the biggest baby of the three of us--the two of them were complete troopers & I was thankful for it!
The freezing temperatures also allowed for a little playing with props. I'm slowly trying to become more acclimated with using props in my shoots, and the afghan actually proved handy in between photos--Matt hadn't worn a coat & seemed pretty thankful to have the task of carrying it through the park.
As is always my luck, we ended up having a ton of fun, despite the setbacks that would normally seem daunting. The cold didn't deter their awesome senses of humor, or the fact that they're total naturals in front of the camera.
Luckily for them, the wedding will be in June.
June doesn't call for windchill factors.
The best of luck to them both--it was a blast working with them!
