Melissa & Brendan - "and yoo-oo-ou take me the way i am..."

On Sunday afternoon, we shot Melissa & Brendan's engagement session. After a couple of casual shots at the bride-to-be's parent's house [some including their SUPER adorable daughter, Sabrina], we took this classy couple down to our "secret" spot in the Third Ward :) As it would turn out, we arrived at the PERFECT time... there was an operating train on the tracks, and Melissa even volunteered herself to climb aboard for some [extremely] quick shots!

Melissa & Brendan met on catholicmatch.com, and as far as we're concerned, these two are the poster children for online dating sites. Meet online, go on a couple of dates, fall in love - it was the smile that did Brendan in :)

We absolutely cannot wait for this wedding next April! Thanks for a great time you two. Enjoy your preview!

it's THAT smile we're talking about :)
