The day started off with excited smiles and easy conversation because that's how its always been with Mandy. We met one summer working our way through post secondary studies at Home Depot and have been friends ever since. We bonded over our mutual love/hattte relationship with our job...we loved it because we got to chat and socialize with one another but hated doing the actual 'cashiering' part. She is a great listener, gives the best advice and is the most genuine and sweet person I have ever met.
Her and Kevin have been together for years and I couldn't think of two people more perfect for one another. They compliment each other in every way, and like Mandy he is so sincere (and funny!) and I love them both very much! Their love reminds me of 'old' love. I say old love because its the kind of love that lasts through anything, its the love you see when hes 85 and still opening doors for her. Its the look in his eye when Mandy is talking, like she is the most stunning and beautiful girl in the world (which she is). Its the way she takes his hand, and loves sweet forehead kisses. Their love is strong and beautiful and I wish them the very best life, filled with love and a lot of forehead kisses.

When I asked how they fell in love, Kevin said Kayla tells the story better ... She laughs from the backseat and says "You loved me, I was scared of you" she then recalls a time when she ran into him in the hallway of their highschool and died. Literally. But she eventually grew out of that shy and terrified stage and realized that this guy, well he wasnt so scary afterall. 
Now 7 years later, after all the basketball games, passing of notes, highschool, then college, racing, and living together they have decided to promise a lifetime with one another. 
They will be married in 2012 and I cant be more thrilled and honored to not only document their love but also be a part of the wedding. They make each other shine, literally. When he looks at her, she glows. And when she grabs for his hand his eyes light up and he couldn't be more handsome. They support one another with whatever they do, she never misses one of his races and he stays up late and helps her study when she needs it. Their love is wonderful and seeing them through my lens and now as I post this blog it warms my heart and puts a smile on my face. Kayla is my cousin and one of my best friends and I am so happy she found someone to love her (even in the morning). as much as Kevin does. I had so much fun during their engagement session, it was a little brisk but the day was perfect and we got some really fun shots!
