I am so excited to share Aaron and Leah’s engagement session. Mostly because I am so excited to share their story of becoming one of my couples!

More than a year ago I met Aaron and Leah after they were freshly engaged. It was a little awkward for me as they had at first chosen a professional wedding photographer in Lincolnshire, but due to the last minute wedding adjustments, the opportunity of taking the lovely couples wedding photos came onto me. I was literally 4 days away from having our 3rd child and was at my booth at the My Montana Wedding Expo. We chatted about their wedding and quickly discovered we both had a love of all things Disney. I told them that my family was going a few months after our new baby was born and they gave us some travel tips that ended up savings us around a thousand dollars in airfare. They left and I just prayed they would choose me for their wedding. I just adored them.

I waited….

and waited…

and waited.

Then I gave up :(

It happens. I figured they had chosen another photographer. I’d like to say I got over it quickly, but honestly I kind of dwelled on it. I felt like I had such a connection with them and if you’ve worked with me 5 minutes you know that having a connection with my couples is so important.

Fast forward to the next year’s expo.

I see Leah out of the corner of my eye and immediately yell “Disney Princess!”. That was my nickname for her because of her love of Disney, but also the fact that she EASILY looks like a Disney princess. I was so busy at the expo that Leah and I didn’t get a chance to talk, but we quickly reconnected over email. They hadn’t gotten married yet!!!

“So you’re saying there’s a chance?”

When we decided to meet for coffee I was elated. Then to make a long story short, Aaron and I discovered that he and my husband work literally desks away from each other. We had no idea! It’s a small world after all ;)

Fast forward to now and their wedding is in just over a month and so we had to do engagement pictures. And of course we had to add a touch of Disney into it. What kind of Disney obsessed people would we be if we didn’t. Plus Aaron and Leah got engaged at Disneyland, so it was only appropriate for our homage to all things Disney.

These guys are seriously amazing and their wedding is going to be incredible! I cannot wait!
