Austin and April were I guess what you would call a "guaranteed fun shoot". They are thoughtful, spontaneous, and so in love. Making my job a dream of course! This sweet couple met over four years ago through mutual friends. Both are intensely witty and fun to be around- I don't imagine it took long to realize that they were an excellent match. Austin is a writer. I check out his daily blog thoughts here when I find the time. He also published a book called High Points and Lows. Life, Faith, and Figuring it all Out. If you haven't read his books you may just perhaps recognize him from his time on the show Survivor...although he's pretty humble and probably wouldn't tell you so! I must point out though his love and talent for writing came way before his time on the hit tv show. I'm excited for what's ahead for Austin because marriage could in fact be his greatest muse! There is so much about life that you learn through marriage- and I know April will love and inspire him well. April grew up in my hometown. She is down to earth, genuine, and true. She loves to laugh and has a fabulous way of sharing her gift of humor with others. The big day is actually just a few weeks away! It is going to be a beautiful ceremony at Pretty Place and the reception is sure to be filled with fabulous food at Hubba Hubba. Wait until you see this place! It is going to be awesome! For their e-session we started downtown before heading to the site where their reception will be held and finishing at the beautiful Carl Sandburg Home. I couldn't help but include one of the furry friend we met there! Enjoy some of my favorites!
