A photographer may go to great lengths trying to capture that one special engagement portrait. However, those willing to express themselves on camera are the ones who’ll bring magic to your photographs. In this case, it’s Sue and Bo.

Bo is a high school friend of mine and it’s been years since we’ve last seen each other. As we sat inside a restaurant, discussing the ins and outs of an engagement shoot, I could already feel this was going to be an exciting session. They were gregarious and not at all shy about sharing seven years worth of stories, include the tale of their proposal at Top of the Rock.

Sue and Bo have great chemistry together which made the session especially interesting for me. Their playfulness and loving interaction captured at the shoot were just some of the things that made these photos as visually inviting as chocolate cake! I hope you enjoy them much as I do!
