jaime & nolan are like my favorite couple ever.  (after lauren & brent, or ashley & blake, or megan & mitch, or gini & charlie, or audrey & cody) ;)  anyway, i love them.  we met for the first time about 10 minutes before their session and were bffs by the time it ended.  i could not have been more giddy when she told me her preferred location for the session.  ladies & gentlemen, i give you party central in bossier city.

nothing says “i love you” more than crushing your lady friend in a little go kart race.

look, just because you are engaged does not mean you need to find an open field at sunset.  having said that, if there is one next door, you should absolutely frolic.

ok, back to the real session.

i love couples that can make anything look & feel like the best day of their lives.  jaime & nolan totally have this going for them.

nolan should watch out because jaime might have hit the punching bag harder than he did.

what does one do with over 180 tickets?  one buys rings and takes cheesy photos.

you guys were great.  i’m kinda wishing you were getting married at six flags now. :)

3 minutes into our 1st meeting Cristina & Jose became one of my favorite couples for 2011. I have been DYING to do their shoot and they did not disappoint. We headed over to Shreveport for their session and had more fun than should be allow while working. Enjoy a few of the photos then I’ll let you in on a secret about them at the end of the post.

They love to go down to The Boardwalk in Shreveport and shop.  Before we hit the shops though, I fell in love with the parking garage.  I could have shot there all day.

I’ve already had 19 people from Nike call saying they want to use them in their next campaign.

Jose proposed to her with her ring in a bowl of ice cream so that was a must for today.

Oh yeah, remember that secret I promised?  Here it is.  These two are already married.  They totally had a small family only ceremony in June of 2010.  They decided after that they still wanted to have a big party/reception this November.  How fun is that?  I asked Cristina if this was an excuse to get to buy 2 wedding dresses, have two anniversaries, and basically get more gifts from Jose each year;  she just smiled. :)  I also asked them if they were nervous about the session and their thoughts on how it went.  Here is what they had to say.
