Mark and Stacey wanted a rustic/country barn look for their engagement pictures and the location we used was probably one of the most “rustic” spots around!  In fact, I’m afraid the barn will probably not be around for too much longer.  Mark and Stacey were great to work with…they even had to be a bit adventurous to climb up into the old hay loft for a few shots!  I love the portraits where they are relating with each other—you can see love, fun, and even gentleness.

Stacey’s ring has an aquamarine stone instead of a diamond.  She wanted this particular stone because it’s Mark’s birthstone (March).  I think that’s pretty special!  And while we’re talking about what Stacey was “wearing” I have to mention her cute dress and great boots!!  Love the boots!

For me, this session was a “breath of fresh air” and a true joy!  I can’t really explain it, but taking and even editing these pics was just what I needed!

Mark and Stacey’s wedding is coming up on September 1!  Congratulations to you both and may God bless your relationship with His joy and direction.
