The sun was rising as the waves lapped against the dock. As it climbed, the sky exchanged its dark blue hues for those of pink and yellow. The moss in the nearby trees swayed from the branches. And, the sound of laughter filled the air. It was early. It was very early. But, Hailey and Mike were already walking along a path during their sunrise engagement session at Philippe Park. And, despite the early hour, Mike’s smile never seemed to waver. Hailey loved his smile. She fell in love with that smile 7 years ago. And, in 6 months, they would finally be man and wife. It was hard to believe that those same eyes that she looked into would soon be her husbands. She reached up to kiss him. She couldn’t wait.
Hailey and Mike,
You two are a blast! From jokes to kindness, you two have it all! Josh and I couldn’t be more thankful that we were able to spend Saturday morning with you. And, I’m still impressed that y’all didn’t even look tired!! You two rocked your session and I cannot wait for your wedding day! *cue the 8 confetti poppers* <3
