			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I originally met Renee and Jameson early this summer. I was hired to take photos at a local company&#8217;s summer picnic, and Jameson was one of the employees!</p>
<p>Renee called me later this summer and asked if I was interested in shooting their wedding. I was honored and penciled in their date! Renee and Jameson also decided they would also love an engagement session.</p>
<p>I think engagement sessions are wonderful. They are such a great opportunity for the bride and groom to get comfortable with the photographer, and it definitely helps me as the photographer get to know my clients better. And, of course, the couple gets an opportunity for some relaxed photos with each other. It is definitely a win-win situation!</p>
<p>I absolutely loved spending an afternoon with these two. They were so nice and so obviously happy with each other. The weather was a bit iffy, but the cloudy and calm weather just made it a perfect backdrop for some gorgeous fall photos.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I met Susan last fall.  She was one of those people you meet and immediately can tell she is a genuinely nice person.</p>
<p>Susan shared her story about how she met Joe on her blog.  She was a bit evasive about exactly what was going on, until she finally shared her BIG story &#8211; the engagement.   You can read it <a href="http://susancourtad.com/2009/02/23/a-blog-a-law-and-a-little-luck-part-i/">part 1</a> and <a href="http://susancourtad.com/2009/02/23/a-blog-a-law-and-a-little-luck-part-ii/">part 2</a> for yourself if you&#8217;d like!   So sweet!!!!</p>
<p>So, when Susan contacted me earlier this year and asked if I would photograph her wedding at the end of the year, I was incredibly honored.  I am so thrilled to be part of such a wonderful love story!!</p>
<p>The wedding is scheduled for December in a beautiful club in Pittsburgh.  But we decided to also get together for some fall engagement photos.  Engagement photos are, obviously, just nice to have.  But it is also a great opportunity for the photographer to meet the couple before the big day and helps everyone feel a bit more comfortable.</p>
<p>The engagement photo shoot was my first meeting with Joe &#8211; and he was just as nice and genuine as Susan.  What a great couple!!!!</p>
<p>We met at Moraine State Park.  It was a bit overcast, but it was quiet and pretty.  And I think we got some beautiful photos of a couple you can just tell are very VERY happy.</p>
