Engaged: Jacob and Ashleigh
The snow was a day or two old. A few people had walked across the lawn in the days since it was fresh. The sun had threatened to melt it, but only created a sparkling crust as the cold set in deeper.
He took a step. She took a step. He took a step. She took a step.
His man-feet plowed a way for her brave shoes to stay clear of the white cold. He took care of her.
She shivered a little. The cold was only getting deeper as the sun sank behind city’s skyline. He teased her a little about emoting Rudolph, she giggled and returned the favor.
But she was still cold. Very cold. Laughing made it fun, but didn’t take away the chill.
He held her hands, cradling them between his fingers. But it didn’t help. His hands were too cold to bring warmth to her. So he improvised: he breathed onto them, gave her a moment respite from the numbing cold. He took care of her.
He made it to the rink first. He owned skates, so didn’t need to make it through the long line for a rental. Around and around and around he whisked across the ice. He made it look easy, natural. Showing off a little, he scraped to a stop sending ice chips flying.
She took a minute to catch her balance on the ice. Not for lack of skill, of course, but for lack of quality blades: the rental boots and its plastic weren’t amiable to balance. He grabbed her hand, kept her balance, kept her comfortable while she settled onto the ice. He took care of her.
These are beautiful! You two always look like you are having so much fun. May you always remember those feelings!! Congratulations.
Very nice you two! I like the background….obviously NOT Arkansas!By the way, Uncle Daniel remembers holding you, and not changing a diaper, he’s changed plenty since that day!!
Looking forward to seeing the wedding pictures!

Who is the weirdo skating in a short sleeve shirt? Was he a prop? Jacob needs to shave (like less than $3 at almost any store will get him disposable razors and shaving cream). Ashleigh, you are beautiful still; I remember holding you and NOT having to change a diaper. Wish I could be there on the big day.
Uncle Daniel
I have been waiting to see these and so glad I finally got the chance! Love them! I love the colors (Ashleigh rocks the purple stockings!) and the fun/joy you feel when looking at their happy faces! Just perfect. I think my favorite is the one where people are skating around them but they are in focus…just superb photography and models! 😀

Love the engagement photos you took for Ashleigh and Jacob! You have a wonderful eye for color and composition – I really enjoy your work (I have also seen other photos Ashleigh has linked.)
I have a few favorites, wondering if I could get copies? How much do you charge?
Thank you
