I arrived early at TooGood Pond in Unionville waiting for the arrival of Chris and Ashley and as Ashley referred to him, Tyson Shmyson (the dog)! I like to scope out the area ahead of schedule thinking of shots that I want to capture, finding nice pockets of light. WOW, was the place ever bustling, but in a nice way. Lots of people out for just casual strolls with family and just enjoying the warm November day that was Remembrance Day.
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw Tyson walking towards me! What a sweet, cute and funny (yes, funny!) dog. This is Tyson all stealth like:
And then this is Tyson allowing himself to be walked.
I say “allowing because well, let’s face it, I don’t really think Tyson lets anyone walk him. He will walk (read: run) you. Case in point (Ashley & Chris brought along some friends to help with Tyson when he wasn’t being photographed):
It really was a sight to see! I laughed so hard, but Tyson is so friendly and turns out he just wanted to say “hi” and make sure that his owners were going to be well taken care of!
After we sent Tyson on his way for a run, Ashley, Chris and I journeyed over to TooGood pond to start our photo shoot. I normally have to break in the couple a bit before they warm up to the camera, but I can honestly say Chris and Ashley were ready for anything!
Meet Chris:
I absolutely LOVE this next photograph of Chris! He was totally GQing it out!!
Meet drop dead gorgeous Ashley! Like seriously, she’s smart, super nice, and beautiful!
Together they make up the fabulous duo of Chris & Ashley, who are getting married next December!
Tyson made a quick appearance again:
Told you they were fabulous!! While they quickly changed clothes for the next part of our shoot along Main Street, Unionville (Historic Unionville) I photographed the stunning engagement ring! Chris you obviously have great taste! You chose Ashley to be your bride and you chose this ring too!
My gosh can you believe Ashley’s boots. I don’t know how many people stopped us on the street to ask Ashley where she got them from! (Me being one of those people!) In case you want to know, I believe Ashley said Steps, but she got them last year, so we may all be out of luck!
Men, if you’re stuck for a Christmas present, I guarantee you buy your woman a pair of boots like this and she will like you for a long time to come!! (hint hint to my hubby!)
Ashley and Chris as so great together, they are such nice people, they’re smart, good looking and just genuinely great people. We had some fun at Chris’ expense, and he took it in stride and played right along with it! Even giving the “evil” eye as if to say “I don’t think so!”
Ashley & Chris, thank you so much for the opportunity to photograph your engagement session!
