Martina & Nathan – Engagement Photo Session, Lockport IL

May’s been a kind of dreary month so far, which is a bummer.  Still, this past Sunday was quite lovely and perfect for an engagement session with an adorable couple…Martina and Nathan.

I met them a few weeks ago at our church right after the service ended.  I still can’t believe what happened…they came up to me and asked me to be their wedding photographer.  They saw me take a photo of a baby sitting a few rows ahead of me, but that’s it.  They didn’t know me – and didn’t know (at that particular moment) that I even had a photography business!!  Martina just said that she felt in her heart that I was supposed to be their photographer.  Isn’t that crazy (and awesome and wonderful)?!?!?  I gave her my card so we could discuss further.  Anyway, long story short, I’ll be photographing their wedding in a couple of weeks!!  I am so excited and thankful for this opportunity.

I love God and the exciting, awesome ways he works.  If I had tried to put it out there that I wanted to try my hand at wedding photography, this is what I’d hear…**crickets**.   Still, God knows that I desire so much for Him to guide and direct my steps.  He has not failed me once and he brings me opportunities that are far better than I could ever try to dream up on my own.  This is just another example.

Anyway – back to the engagement session!!  I had a great time with Martina and Nathan…they really are so sweet and loving to each other.  We met for the engagement session in Downtown Lockport IL (a very cool place for pictures with so many awesome spots within walking distance of each other).  Here are some highlights…
