So the “how we met” story goes like this:
On a Sunday evening a couple years ago Kristen was sitting at her local pub, The Irish Snug, watching the game waiting for her friend to show up. At the same moment, Dwane and his buddies came to The Snug after their afternoon rec game…Dwane’s favorite bartender played matchmaker that night and let the boys know about the cute girl sitting alone on the other side of the wall…I asked Dwane what his pick up line was…he said “Hello”
After 15 minutes of great conversation between the new love birds, Dwane’s buddies left the two alone for the first night of their sweet relationship. When I heard this story I immediately told them that we HAVE to shoot at the Snug! I arrived on Saturday and the two of them were sitting in the exact chairs that they had met in![]()
















**FAST FORWARD TWO WEEKS**
At our last shoot, Dwane, Kristen & I were rained out after only 20 minutes of shooting. So while the rain poured outside we enjoyed a beer and some quality time talking about the upcoming wedding! We also made a date to continue our shoot…Fast forward to two weeks later…in the early evening, Kristin & Dwane came to the studio. The first order of business was talking about how addicting Words with Friends on our iPhones can be. In fact, I just interrupted writing this blog post to play a word with Kristin! HA!
Okay, back to photo talk. It was a beautiful evening and the studio backyard was the perfect setting for round II of their engagement portraits. We topped our night off with a pizza and some beer across the street at The Walnut Room – of course!
