Diane & Derek : Engagement Session

Diane and Derek truly are a picture perfect pair (in the cliched sense, and literally. :)). They are down-to-earth, and by observing them together, I have concluded that their relationship really speaks for itself - without using any words. The comfortable love that they share for each other is evident with every doting glance exchanged. It's apparent with every instinctual grab of the hand, or tender kiss on the forehead. There is a genuine friendship at the heart of their romance, and I found myself feeling refreshed after simply hanging out with them. There's something to be said about a couple who is able to maintain a solid friendship at the core of their bond. In Diane and Derek's case, I believe that the "something" is this - they will have a fabulous marriage. :)

Diane and Derek will be getting hitched on beautiful Anna Maria Island in March. We are so excited for their wedding. In fact, we feel like we're almost just as thrilled as they are. Almost. ;)

Here's a few more from their engagement shoot at Hollis Gardens:
