Happy December Everyone!!!  We are starting a new “Rewind” tradition.  Each month I’m going to do a little quick interview with a couple celebrating their 1 year anniversary.  This will give you up and coming married people a little peak into what your world might look like in a few months. :)  I knew Kristi & Kiley would be the perfect couple to get the ball rolling.

What have you liked most about your first year being married?
Building a home And life together

Give us your best cheapo/fun married date idea.
Going swimming on the lake

What’s been the hardest part about being married?
Learning each other, what not to do and say :)

What surpassed you the most?  (Either good or bad.)
The love we have for each other.

What have you fought about most and why?
Little things (what way to put the toilet paper on the holder)

So if I remember right, you guys don’t Facebook.  Why is that?
We stay in touch with friends other ways and everyone else doesn’t matter.

Do you have any advice for couples about to take the plunge?
Have fun with each other laugh and love through everything.

Couples are always asking me this question:
“What should we do for our engagement session?”
That always turns into me asking them this question:
“What do you like to do?”

You see, I feel like whatever it is you like to do then that’s what we should do.  Just because you are engaged does not mean you need to go walk on the railroad tracks.  You are not a train conductor.  Step AWAY from the train tracks.  Here are just a few things that some of my couples have done on their session.

1. Walk your dog.

2. Go dancing3. State Fair
4. Lake5. College
6. Lego Store
7. Austin
8. Bowl
9. Piano
10. Fight
11. Fountain
12. Beer
13. Trampoline
14. Parking Garage
15. Car Wash

See,  it’s easy.  Do what you love with someone you love; I’ll photograph it and you’ll love it. :)

Also, all you non-engaged people out there, toss out a few ideas in the comments to help everyone out.

Lauren, Blaine, & I had a great time walking 185.6 miles all over the Dallas Arboretum.  We have these photos to prove it.

Thanks for being a great couple, and extra thanks for telling me the story on how you two met. :)

A few of my favorites from June of last year.  These were some fun sessions.  (Happy anniversaries to Jessica, Brynne, Brandy, Amanda, Gina, & Megan… as well as your husbands.)
