Amanda and Caleb are such fun to be around! Even though we had to work through unexpected cloud cover which makes late afternoon light a bit tough, they were up for anything and we had an amazing time!

They’ve been together for 13 years, and decided to promise forever this fall.  It all started back in high school when Caleb decided he had some interest in this beautiful girl.  As she was standing by the road waiting for the bus, he would drive by in his truck and make sure she knew he was around.  You know, kind of hit the gas a little, make a little smoke, – that kind of thing.  It didn’t work at the beginning, but if you know Caleb he doesn’t give up easily when he’s in a challenge.  Before long, Amanda Mitchell was holding his hand.  And she’s been holding it ever since.

I loved that the future Mr. and Mrs. Cosby brought his dad’s truck to be in some of the photos.  It’s a really cool truck, and captures their love of all things with outdoors and nature.  They snuggled up and smiled at me, and now they have these sweet shots forever. Amanda also wanted a field of flowers, and we happen to have access to one right down the road that is finally the right height.  If you follow my photo journeys, you know they are everywhere around us, but either still not tall enough just yet, or in pastures that I can’t get to.  That’s just part of the fun of searching for the right scenes and the right light, and I get fired up when it all falls together beautifully.

Amanda and Caleb, I’m so excited to be a small part of your newest venture.  You are an amazing couple, and I hope you enjoy the next few whirlwind months.  Before you know it, you will be standing before your family and friends and the next chapter of your love will unfold.  I know it will be both sweet with a hint of laughter (and maybe a little comment or two from Caleb).  Love and blessings,  Pat
