Brent & Jeanie Fowler

Here are some of the rest of the pictures from their Engagement session!! Enjoy!!


One of my favorites of the couple!

 Jeanie sent me "their song" and highlighted the special parts of it.
I love the way the picture turned out!!


So the story behind this picture is that through the years when one of them
would say I Love You... the other would say "more" then it grew and "most" and "Forever"
were added into the mix!

Lillypads apparently hold a special meaning to the couple so we
had to get them into the picture somehow!
