Alyssa & Mike - Engaged!

Isn't it funny how you can sometimes know someone just from their voice? When Alyssa and Mike booked me for their wedding next year, we had only spoken over the phone. But when they pulled up for their engagement session at Barrel Oak Winery, I knew them right away (okay, maybe not right away...but the grin on Alyssa's face gave it away pretty quickly!). I knew we were going to have a wonderful time! If you haven't checked out Barrel Oak Winery, you definitely should! It's the perfect place to go on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and enjoy a glass of wine and some cheese out on their fantastic patio. After they enjoyed a tasting, Alyssa and Mike joined me as we trekked around the vineyards looking for great spots to shoot. And we certainly found quite a few! Not even the 90 degree day could stop us! I can't wait for their wedding next July!

When we were photographing by this fence, I asked Mike to switch to the other side. Instead of walking around to the end, he just jumped right over! I guess that's one of the benefits to being tall (I would have face-planted if I'd tried that myself!).

Love this one!

So picturesque!
