alison & duncan: engaged.

when i started corresponding with alison, one of the first things she mentioned was that she and duncan loved to fish.  she also used the word “weird” to describe them as a couple, which her mother quickly redefined as “quirky”.  so with those two things in mind, they picked a location and i described my inspiration for their engagement shoot as huck finn meets norman rockwell.  confused yet?  well you won’t be when you see how beautifully it all came together 🙂

did i mention that alison’s parents own a very successful photography studio? and that alison used to work for them? totally not intimidating at all. thankfully alison and duncan were completely flexible and up for anything i had to throw at them. case in point:

we laughed a lot.  duncan was shocked when i knew the word emo because he had assumed i was about 45 and we learned of alison’s “irrational” fear of dead bodies (isn’t everyone afraid of dead bodies?!).  i know their wedding (let alone their lives together) is going to be completely unique and i’m thrilled that i get to be the one to capture all the details.  and by the way: quirky = wonderful.
