Love in the stacks: a literary engagement shoot with two cute brides-to-be
This beautiful pair of ladies both work for a big city public library system so a literature-themed engagement session was on the agenda. They added even more meaning to it by finding the perfect book store to match their intentions.

We were rounding out an ambitious year: cross country move, new jobs, new careers, and a wedding all happening within a few weeks.
