Engagement

Haley and I have been friends since sixth grade so when she texted me a photo of an engagement ring (which I could only assume was hers), I squealed with excitement before replying something along the lines of “aaaaahhhhh!!!! Congratulations!!!!” I was undoubtedly thrilled when she mentioned engagement photos. I love photographing friends because you can pretty much ask them to do whatever you want and they oblige because as a good friend, why wouldn’t they want to support your “artistic vision?”

When Haley first mentioned Charles, she made it clear, “We don’t want to put a label on our relationship,” and “We are definitely probably not getting married.” However, within months (I’m fuzzy on the exact time frame), they moved in together and became what you might call a “hardcore couple.” A few years later, and BOOM! they’re engaged. I totally called it (silently, to myself. You don’t just call that kind of thing). (more…)
