Sage and JC | Engagement

A lovely day in Lock Haven, PA with autumn colors exploding from the foliage…and a girl and a boy, whose playfulness and affection glowed brighter than any of the fiery foliage. I was lucky enough to get to spend a few hours with Sage and JC before they drove back to Boston last week, and without a doubt they are one of the most fun-loving couples I have ever met. We drove to JC’s family’s house, who have acres and acres of land (I forget exactly how many) along a river just north of town, and found this awesome railroad sign:

I knew after that we were going to have a ton of fun! We found this stump closer to the river…with a variety of poses:

And a little less crazy:

Just behind that stump was this awesome bench that JC helped me get into position:

As we walked back through the woods on a trail that seemed as if it would go on forever (it didn’t…we found the end…eventually!), we found some lovely yellow stuff…I think it was bamboo. Either way, it gave a lovely golden shimmer to this shot:

Along the trail, JC might have jumped into more trees than I have climbed in my entire life! Here’s one that they both managed to hang from:

A little further down the trail, I spotted this nice spot a little off the path…it was worth climbing through the tall grass and brush to get there, I think:

These two trees covered in vines just screamed out for a wide-angle shot (and I got to break out one of my favorite lenses, the 17-40 f/4, for anyone wondering):

Some more of that beautiful golden light:

Their best J. Crew model looks (you can see Sage’s smile still trying to sneak through…JC was fabulous at the serious faces!):

What a lovely field for a kiss!

The engagement ring (and I absolutely love the juxtaposition of the dress along with the Red Sox jersey…sorry about that ALCS thing, JC) for anyone that missed the preview post:

A slightly more serious moment…doesn’t she just have the most captivating, lovely eyes?

Your wedding is going to totally rock, guys. I can’t wait! For the rest of you, make sure to stay tuned for some more photos of this lovely couple!

This past Monday I had an amazing time doing an engagement session with Sage & JC, who are getting married in a few weeks! Both of them are so much fun and have such playful personalities…and did pretty much anything I asked. We’ll just say that JC has some mad tree-climbing abilities. We had a blast that morning before they had to drive back to Boston, and I can’t wait for their wedding! Here’s a teaser for everyone:

And yes…that does say Red Sox. I’ve got my fingers crossed!
