ENGAGEMENT

Brad and Czarina’s Engagement Shoot

Someone once told me that the only thing one needs to have a happy marriage, is someone to make you laugh. It makes sense… after the honeymoon is over and real life sets in….. laughter seems to play a huge part in a couple’s ability to enjoy life. Well Brad and Czarina gave me a good dose of laughter during their engagement shoot…. and it was so… nice. They had me in stitches and I’m so glad we got to spend the evening together documenting their engagement.

Brad and Czarina have an enviable friendship and their story dates back to high school band. Apparently Czarina called Brad a mean name at band practice one day… he said,” I think I dig that chick”… then a friendship developed… and blossomed their love. Years later they’re getting married… and they love every second of being with each other.

Here’s my favorites from their “UP” themed engagement shoot… Enjoy!
