Sarah & Chris are getting married here in Bozeman this June. When I first met with Sarah, I knew there was something very familiar about her and finally I placed it! I had her mom, Cathy Hill as a 6th grade teacher at Rimrock elementary school in Billings. Small world eh?

At any rate, Chris and Sarah and I had a blast shooting their engagement session. It was a chilly day but that didn't stop us. They are both fun, energetic and playful! We bopped around the Gallatin Valley and Bozeman and eventually found ourselves at Dave's Sushi for a little dinner. Yummy!

As many of you know, engagement sessions are useful on many levels. It gives clients a chance to get to know me, how I work and how I photograph. It gives me a chance to get to know the clients, see how they respond to me and my camera and it allows me to put them at ease. All in all, it helps the wedding day go smooth because they know me, know I will do a great job for them and they already kinda know the "drill" (not that there is really a drill). Even if clients come to town the week of the wedding, I always highly recommend even a short, mini engagement session.
