Corinne & Scott's August Wallkill wildflower-filled Engagement session

This couple...where do I begin their story?

You see, her mom and I go waaaayyy back- back to elementary school, book studies, goodie nights, endless giggly summers by the lake, long service days pioneering together, trips to islands and the west coast in our late teens, etc...She & her husband had three great kids- two boys, and Corinne.

My earliest memory of Corinne is when my husband and I were dating. The family had moved back east, and were finally near enough for weekend visits. Corinne was three years old.... her daddy called her Sunshine, because she lit up every room she entered with her warmth and sweetness.

Her twin brother Caleb has had this BFF name Scott for most of his life....

So they've all grown up together.  It might seem that this match was always meant to be....

But they  thought of each other only as friends. It took both of them moving fourteen hours from home to NY, where they were  volunteering on a massive construction project, for this friendship to catch fire...

He proposed while they were having lunch in a tower overlooking Blue Lake in Warwick.

They were wearing their required hardhats and high- vis t-shirts. And it was the perfect proposal location for these two, who have the goal of working at other construction projects in foreign countries; projects that will help to provide for the spiritual needs of people regardless of their economic status, culture, or language.

And so the sun set too quickly.

But in the darkness, why not try a little lightpainting? Just for fun we gave it a whirl, and came up with the image below.

And then we all watched Tangled and ate popcorn.

Yea, this engagement session was absolutely perfect.

We are so happy for you two!!!

It was so much fun photographing you, and hanging out  afterwards-

We can't wait for your wedding & for your happily ever after to officially begin!!
