Michelle + Duane :: Engagement

Getting to photograph people is only a very small part of being a photographer. We invest time and energy into the people that bless us by allowing us the privilege to be a part of their lives. Sometimes it's easier said than done to create a connection with them from behind the camera.

In the case of Michelle and Duane, both Brandi and I knew we'd have so much fun with them from the minute we met them. These two people LOVE one another. It's palpable when you spend time with them. Their love is more than chemistry and sparks. It's a deeply rooted respect and admiration for one another. A love that will definitely age and grow into a lifetime together. It's a love that people spend their whole lifetime looking for, and one that everyone should work towards.

Michelle and Duane, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your big day. I know you're day is going to be so beautiful, celebrating the start of a HUGE life together. Much love friends!

Many thanks to the beautiful Bonne Nuit bed and breakfast in Smoky Lake for allowing us to play there, as well as Hair & Make Up by Lise for her unbelievable talents! To see more of Michelle and Duane's engagement photos and to learn more about them, go HERE! :)
