Brandie and William are getting married on her parents’ lovely property in Stem this upcoming summer and we are super excited to be there! They also wanted their engagement photos there because the pups were a priority to them (and being able to run free without their leashes on was equally a priority in picking a spot). Quinn, the German Shepherd mix one, is pretty much all about having his picture taken and may or may not participate in the actual wedding, depending. :) Parker, on the other hand (the Australian Shepherd mix one), is scared of camera shutters, barks at other unseen dogs in the distance, and did not want anything to do with Geoff’s car coming down the driveway (he promptly ran up to it, stopped right in front of it and barked at it, then just stood there unmoving for a good while). So Parker was kind of the wildcard in terms of “dog participation” in the wedding, so Brandie and William decided to get pictures of and with them prior to the wedding in case they can’t attend. ;)
It rained off and on for the entire session, but they were in from Tennessee to visit her parents, so we carried on with the session and had a great time! They were good sports despite rooting for bad sports (William is one of the few people we’ve met who, along with Geoff, also loves the Pittsburgh Pirates despite their inability to consistently play well), and happily trudged through high grass and woods surrounding the property. We are so excited to see and work with them again in August, but will miss the dogs if they aren’t there… let’s be honest. Because who doesn’t love dogs in bowties? :)
