Andrew and Markia at Renfrew Park

She never expected to meet forever sitting around a old table in a gigantic dining hall.  Dodging in and out of the countless people that day, all her mind could settle on was her next class in a few minutes.  Yet, as she sat her tray down on the brown, round table, her eyes settled for a brief moment within his.

From that short encounter at lunch that day, a friendship was planted within each of them that slowly and carefully grew over time.  Their hearts knew they were falling in love, but their minds had yet to acknowledge the fact.  That was, until the day Markia made it very clear to Andrew, "Well, are we together or not?"

Of course, Andrew gladly obliged...

It's very evident you two are madly in love with each other, and will live happily ever after!  Thank you for letting me tell your story, and I simply cannot wait till your wedding day!

He looks at her with such loving eyes :)



Love this picture, not posed in any way, just them getting ready to kiss!
 

He gave her quite the beautiful ring too...



Beautiful!


 Just having fun together


Had to coax this picture out of them :)




Was blind for an hour after this one, but well worth it for them ;)




Easily one of my favorites from the day!


Beautiful!



Caught her sneaking her hand into his pocket...maybe for a piece of candy?


Love this one!


Andrew suggested something like this, turned out quite lovely.


Love the hand shots!

Engagement Session Renfrew Park Kevin and Jessica

"You're cute," were the first words Kevin read when he opened the tiny message on his computer.  Curious as where this would lead, he nervously called her the next day with an invitation to dinner, truly not knowing what to expect.  Soon, Jessica was sitting patiently on the black bench outside the bustling restaurant where the tiny flame in her heart would soon rekindle.

"Wow" was all she could think as he strolled up the gray sidewalk.  "He's taller, stronger, and more handsome than I expected...good!" 

Dinner was delicious, but the company was the best.  Sports? Check. Kindhearted? Check. Funny? Check!  Seemed everything Jessica had hoped was falling into place. "I could really like him," was all she could think, as she melted into his smile.

What a fantastic couple you two are, and thank you so much for bringing me into your life to capture your love for each other!  Your future together is going to be beautiful, and maybe someday you'll even like the same baseball team ;)


Jessica's amazing eyes change colors based on the scenery...



This bracelet is beyond important to both Kevin and Jessica and made for a very special moment...


He is soooo tall! (but that's what she loves about him)


These two DEFINITELY know how to kiss...


Moments from men in black suits jumping out through this door to capture them, we caught this picture :)


Eye color change number two...beautiful couple!


Love this picture of Kevin and Jessica!


Kevin's famous "Eye" pose!


Love the unique differences between their feet...


Now this is a kiss!


Love this picture, so sweet...


One of the final pictures of the evening...


Thank you two again, look forward to photographing your wedding some day! ;)

First post and first shoot!

Well, this is my first of many posts to come, and I hope you enjoy reading some stories behind the photos, as well as viewing the pictures themselves.  I love to take classic looking photos, some posed, some not posed, with little to no photoshopping to capture the real moment!

If you're at all interested in my work, please don't hesitate to contact me on Facebook or send me an email at jedhallphotography@hotmail.com and we'll set you up for a storytelling session of your own! 

 The Whitlock Family...

Had a marvelous time photographing their family last Monday! Cassidy loved to play with everything there was, which provided for some great pictures, and mom and dad we're perfect assistants as well. 


Cassidy's eyes really speak volumes...


This is one of my favorite pics so far, just a cute moment caught in time


Another picture that I love, especially the road curving off into the background behind Cassidy, plus, she didn't know I was taking this, so it turned out even better!


You can tell she just loves her daddy...sweet little picture



Love the way the light was falling...perfectly illuminated her face that day.


The smile on her face was just perfect!


This one she was running away just having fun, and her daddy had to run and catch her, didn't know I took this, but turned out to be another one of my favorites!


Brought out some bubbles for her to play with, and she knew instantly what to do!






Cute little picture with her on these rock stairs.



After much bribing and coaxing (thanks for the help mom and dad ;), caught a great family photo for them!



Well, that's all for now...can't wait for my next shoot on Saturday for Kevin and Jessica!
