Hi, I'm Emily.

He’ll tell you that he knew immediately he was going to spend forever with her. She needed only a bit longer to come to the same revelation. “I am mouthy, sarcastic, and stubborn,” she says. “He just took everything in stride and never once made me doubt how he felt about me. Knowing that made me fall for him even more. He is a very quiet person and I love knowing that we can sit in complete silence comfortably with each other. I remember asking myself one day could I picture my life without him in it and when the answer was no, I knew.”

I met Becci & Andy at Palisades State Park this past Saturday for their engagement session. The weather was gorgeous and the hiking trails were busy as were the grills and picnic areas. One thing I noticed about Becci & Andy very soon after we got started was just how truly comfortable they are together. They feed off of each other’s energy and calm. They are most natural when being in each others’ arms. Together, they are a perfect match.

Becci describes Andy as being “strong, goofy, and selfless. He can stay calm in any situation and he can also make me laugh at the drop of a hat. He has an innate ability to make me feel safe and I know he will always protect me.” Andy says that he loves her personality, her love for him, and her outlook on their life together. “She can make every situation wonderful simply by being with me.”

Spring has been really slow this year after our hard winter, but I loved seeing these little pops of new blooms sprouting! In another month, this entire park will be thriving in green!
