Sam & Amanda | Engagement

I am so excited for these two. The fact that Amanda is my sister just might have something to do with it.

We braved the chilly freezing Minnesota weather to capture a few moments of them together. Reuben provided the snow.

Sam & Amanda, I can’t wait to see you two growing closer together day by day. Here’s to an awesome marriage for you two!

   Awww, congratulations to them! Lovely photos. :-) I’ve only shot one engagement so far but it was so fun… I think the excitement and love and the fact that they play off each other makes it so easy to get great pictures!

    Congratulations, Erica Lea, on your engagement. A lovely ring and lovely photos!
    I’ve been ‘lurking’ on your blog for a while now and really like your photography. I recently started a photography blog also (see link). A question: how did you get the effect on your self-portrait photo? I am always happy to learn!
    Thanks and blessings,
    This Good Life.

    I just discovered your blog through, sigh, Pinterest – I’m getting sucked in.
    So, basically I don’t know you at all but I am a sucker for falling in love and marriage. Congratulations. I’m so happy for you.
