So, every so often I get couples who are so cool and amazing that I can’t wait to get home and edit their images. I had a feeling that Ashley and Brock would be one of these couples. We had only had a few phone calls and some E-mails prior to her booking but when she sent in one of her payments with this post it note attached I started to extra like them.
One of the things I ask my couples is what do you guys like to do together. Some bowl, others play tennis, some are musical. I love capturing couples in their element. Sometimes people say “We just like to sit on the couch and watch movies.” That’s an OK answer, but not really something that would be amazing to photograph. 
When I asked Ashley the question, this is the E-mail I got back:
“okay, so we’ve been thinking.. and this is the list we’ve come up with..
-We like to cook together and probably the thing we cook the most is spaghetti
-Try different wines
-Bowling
-Look at the stars (corny i know, haha but true!)
-Playing this dart game called killer
-Traveling/driving around together
-Getting ice cream
-Volleyball, Knockout (basketball), throwing a football around
-Board games
-Watch movies
-Go to football/basketball games”
I tried to figure a way to work ALL of these into a session but soon gave up and just went with the first one.
This will be a great photo once they are married. She can PROVE that he is capable of cleaning and remind him that he used to do it.
We then headed out into Aggieland for some “real” engagement photos.
This was their first time walking under the Century Tree.
These next two are great. I’m not sure what was happening in the first.
The second is how I feel Ashley negotiates with Brock anytime she wants anything.
Oh, one more thing… Since these two were so much fun to work with I went ahead and edited their WHOLE Session! That’s right, less than 24 hours after shooting it, it’s done and online!
Thank you guys for an amazing session. – AlexM
