Cody & Amber - Engagements!
It continues to amaze me how some photo-sessions call for black & white images, and some call for color. Needless to say, Cody & Amber's engagement session was one of those that required color, color, color!
In the last couple weeks, I've have been blessed to be able to photograph two out of three of my best friends from high school. I met Amber in 5th grade, when she moved to the same elementary school as me. I'm sure if I dug through my Mom's old photographs, I'd find a handful of Amber and I hanging out as kids. :) We remained friends through middle school, and even walked together at our high school graduation.
I truly love my job, and I really love when I get photograph the people that mean the most to me.
Amber & Cody met their first year at Messiah College - and the rest is history. I remember going out for ice cream, coffee, breakfast, etc.. with Amber, and always hearing about Cody and how wonderful he is. And he's nothing short of that. They are perfect for each other and I can't wait to see them get married in June. I'm pretty sure I'll cry at their wedding, no matter what. :)
They chose to have their engagements shot in Harrisburg, since they have many memories of being downtown together from their four years (right?) of dating. It was FREEZING outside - but we survived and got some fantastic images out of our session.
And, to Cody & Amber - I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do. You guys are precious. [BC]
Speechless .... I absolutely LOVE THEM!!! Oh My Word! Brooke - you are amazing!!!!! WOW!
GREAT shots of an awesome couple. :-)
Brooke, if I wouldn't have been talking to Amber on the phone while looking at these for the first time, forcing myself to tell her how much I loved them, I would have been speechless... thank you so much.
These pictures are great! They really show your personalities.

Man I really wish I coulda seen a Kissing-on-the-lips one or two in there. ;-)
Brooke, I can't stop looking, your photography is so good, you've brought out the Narcissist in me. :-) I've been looking on and off for an hour now. Excited for the CD, or however we do it!
I think this set called for color.
P.S. The shadow one... awsometown, usa.

Too many great ones to choose a favorite. Always amazed what photographs can say without words. Just thrilled for the couple and for their lifetime together.
Wonderful of wonderful! Each one is so unique! I agree with needing COLORS.. they are great! I can't believe it was freezing outside.. you guys look way too happy to be cold. Time for another look through! :))
Absolutely beautiful, Brooke!!!
Crying like a baby right now...
Congratulations on the engagement and the beautiful pictures. Pull these out, often, through the years! How fun! I love Amber's look in the one where she is embracing Cody. And, in the one above it... the way Cody is holding the beautiful ring. I also think the shadow one is way cool! What a great long lasting friendship between Brooke and Amber! Great job, Brooke!
