an apology AND anna & tony

To all my faithful followers - my deepest apologies on the gap in posting. The week after my last post, my computer and I had a fight. Don't fret, I had the support of some very intelligent IT guys (thanks, brothers :)) and they got me back up and running within a few days. However, it's taken me a bit to recapture my bearings. But I think we're back in full motion.
Get ready... because for the next few weeks, JWP will be bringing you a lot of eye candy. I've got a wedding and another engagement session on deck, plus a few shoots to come...

For now, enjoy Anna & Tony's preview!

Meet Anna & Tony. They are getting married in about 6 weeks, but about 2 weeks ago we hung out in downtown Grand Rapids for their engagement session. It was a windy and overcast early morning shoot, but we certainly had fun! Tony was only in town for the day to see his lovely fiancee graduate from GVSU, so we had to weave the engagement session in-between family time and the ceremony!
It was so fun to watch them interact during the session. They were so natural and comfortable in front of the camera! (A huge plus for a photographer!) Anna is so sweet - she has told me a few times how excited she is that I am their photographer for their wedding... and I'm excited, too! I can't wait for their wedding next month!

Anna & Tony - thanks for spending the morning with me - enjoy your preview!

SOOO cute... they started dancing without me even prompting them! Apparently Tony is one heck of a dancer!
Ok, this next sequence isn't supposed to be this small, but I think you can still appreciate it (clicking the image, like all images, will make it larger, fyi)! I told them to lie down, facing each other, and interact a bit... and they started arm wrestling!! LOVE IT! :) My question to you is, who do YOU think won? :)
One of the only photos Tony suggested! haha! :)

Gotta get a shot of the bling!!
