Marry me.

 Following the questions, "Will you marry me?" comes a lot of firsts in the journey to married. One of those is getting your pictures taken together. Sure, you have cell phone pictures of each other or the "us-ies" at your favorite park but have you seen yourselves as a couple in a picture you did not take yourself? 

A key part to this is asking those you love to help make this happen. Allison called Maggie and me for the job! We also wanted snow, we got ice. But when you ask us to make your vision come to life, we make it happen without the snow. :) 

Going to a community that we are not from makes location knowledge a challenge but this is where Jeff and Allison did their homework. We packed up and went on our adventure. 

This session may or may not have included sudden stops following the phrase, "Oh, this spot is speaking to me!". 

Getting to share these moments with Jeff and Allison were amazing. Getting to teach Maggie a few things about the art of photography also was magical. Helping to create her ideas was rewarding. Since this was February in Iowa, it was cold so an impromptu Coffee Shop concept was created. 

To wrap up this journey to married we climbed a mountain for the perfect nature scene. This is speaking to Allison and Jeff. They are adventurous, not afraid of the road less traveled, they move mountains and they love deeply. 

Thank you for allowing me to be in your journey of life. It was been (and will continue to be) a blessing to watch your love grow. I look forward to seeing your story written. 

Love you, 

Chelsie
