Jabari and Shanee — The Engagement
September 3, 2008Jabari and Shanee are getting married April 2009. We met on Saturday morning and they followed me to Lake Vesuvius in Ironton, Ohio. As we approached the entrance it stared to rain. I thought, “oh no.” I could almost feel Shanee cringe in the their car. But I was not going to let the rain stop us. I reassured them that we would still do this and I pulled out the umbrellas that I keep in the back of my car and said “let’s wait a few minutes.” What a great couple. They waited and we chatted. We started in the rain and got a few cute umbrella shots. I can now check that off of my list of things I want to photograph. We laughed pretty much the whole time. It was much more humid after the rain than before but they endured it. They even wore sweat shirts at the end for the alma maters and still laughed and joked. It was hot. Too hot for sweat shirts but they did it and it was so cute. I can not wait to photograph their wedding in April. Oh and Shanee is Lalicia’s cousin. Lalicia and Jerome were married in May of this year. During the reception Shanee told me that when she gets married she wanted me to photograph her wedding. She was not engaged at that time and we both thought we had a couple of years before this happened. Well, she did not know it but Jabari already had her ring at that time and was planning to pop the question. Image my surprise when I got the call a few months ago to photograph her wedding. I love it when life works like that. I loved hanging out with their families and am really looking forward to spending another wedding day with them all. To view their slide show click here. Here are a few of my favorites.
You have to love a guy who will act like this for a picture. You just have to. See why we laughed the whole session.
