Oh folks.....words can not express how excited I am right now!! It was hard to even focus at work this week.....The engagement session Sunday was....AWESOME!!! Background info: So, Nate and I went home last weekend. Well, I got an e-mail from our photographer, Rachel, Saturday night saying the weather for Sunday afternoon wasn't looking good. Originally we had planned for 3:45 in Peoria at her grandparents farm, but decided to push it up to 2:30. She also said we should be in touch in case we'd have to cancel because of rain. With Nate and I living out of town, this would be a huge problem obviously! It's not like we can make the trip home every weekend and it's starting to get cold out! So, Saturday morning I got up and checked my e-mail again and sure enough Rachel had e-mailed me again. (I'm sweating at this point!) She said the radar looked like rain was more likely later in the afternoon/evening, so she thought 2:30 would be good, but there was still that CHANCE we wouldn't be able to get it in. *sigh* Well, there wasn't really anything we could do about the weather, so Nate and I started the trip up to Peoria around noon (after a quick stop at the Crowne Plaza where my uncle, Colin, was setting up for an event. He wanted us to look at the colors they were using bc he thought we might like them for our wedding, since he'll be doing the setting up for it!!) The drive to Peoria was....dark. The further the drove north, the darker the skys were getting. We got to the farm a little after 2:00 and it had started to clear up a little. After we met Rachel's mom, their baby daughter, and their dog, again, we headed outside to fit in what we could. We start with the "pictures that didn't matter".....ones with us getting "warmed up". After that...it was kind of a free-for-all! I don't want to spoil the pictures to come with lots of details, but I will say they totally understood our idea of the outdoor/camping kind of theme we were going for!! What they said would take an hour ended up taking 2, which didn't feel like it at all! It just felt like a Sunday afternoon with friends! And wouldn't you know it, it turned out to be the most perfect day! Overcast skys, which are great for pictures, at times and then the sun would come through for a little bit to say hello!
Here's our "sneak-peek" picture they posted on their blog!! They showed us a few they took that day just on the camera screen and we were blown away!! I can't wait to show you guys all of them...hopefully just a few weeks and then they'll be done editing all of them!! TRUST ME....YOU'LL KNOW ASAP!!! :)
So needless to say, I was a giddy mess the whole way back to Indy, just ask Nate! We had so much fun doing these last minute pictures.....can't imagine what the wedding will be like!!! ;)
