Man. I just had to steal this inevitable quote for the subject like, from the groom to be himself, Nick. Very fitting.
It’s engagement sessions like this, that I adore. Not only because they are that cool but because I get that rare and “make my day” kind of email from.. NOT THE BRIDE to be.. but the groom to be. Nick emailed me letting me know how much fun they had and it’s moments like this {tissue} that I pause an think “this is the start of a beautiful relationship.” {corny?} I know I know. But really. Not only is their relationship so fantastic together, the kind of couple that makes each other better people when the other is around but also because I get to spend some pretty intense time with these two as they plan their big day and hopefully in the mean time, gain some pretty rad friends— I love it!
So Leah, as I said before… I approve! {smiles}
Enjoy your engagement session and congratulations again to Leah & Nick!

I bet you never would have guessed huh?
Ow ow!
“Fighting the mosquitos and cockle-burs” of the Independence square, this dog that was born to model.
Just a whistle and those ears perked right up.

I love them! I am also glad the the "Whole" family was in the pictures. I love the "teacher look" towards the bottom, Leah! The one with you both in the air, PRICELESS!!! Thanks for sharing they are fantastic!!!
Leah and Nick, What great great pictures! You are such a wonderful looking couple and these pictures really help to capture that! Best wishes for your future together! I really enjoyed the creative picture of you two jumping in the air!!! That is awesome!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the pictures!!!! I was laughing and smiling the whole time!!! I love that you put Oliver in there too! He's a wonderful model. You taught him well! 🙂 Love y'all! I can't wait for the wedding pictures!
These are simply stunning pictures of two wonderful folks who are both beautiful inside and out! The only difficulty will be picking which pictures you want! Can NOT wait to see the wedding photos!
LOVE EM!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was such a fun album to look at. Loved the backgrounds and colors. Really well done. :O)
btw..love the jumping one! ..and the serious one in the field…and the Oliver pictures. Too cute.
You photos are beautiful! My favorite is Leah & Nick 012 (Sepia toned picture with serious expressions). Plus, I love Oliver! So cute!
These pictures are amazing!!! Blake likes them also. You are such a cute couple! Best Wishes!!!
I LOVE them all! What a great photographer we have! You added so many elements to each photo to take them over the top. Truly a joy to be around and made this such a fun shoot. You captured US (and the boy) exceptionally.
PS – I highly suggest the general public practice safe stretching before attempting any high flying ninja kicks. Groin is still recovering.
Those are the best pictures EVER! How in the world will you decide? You guys look great and adding Oliver in was awesome!
I am a little biased, but these look great. I love the back ground, and how they look so natural and unique. The jumping one is my favorite little brother.
Those look great Uncle Nick. I especially love the ones with Oliver.
Too Cute! My favorites are the ones that look like the sun is setting and you two are in a wheat field. I can't wait for the wedding. Don't forget to invite me! I'd love for her to take pictures of Wes, Ashley and I.
What terrific pictures! I love them!
These photographs are adorable. Just love the colors and the backgrounds!
Didn't realize Nick had such Ninja Skills.
Awesome photos
i love your photos!! Some of them seriously look like they should be in a magazine! I can't wait for the wedding you guys are beautiful! I love your face!
Very cool pics.
Not many couples can pull off a kung fu shot, but you guys did it! What fabulous photos! And of course Oliver looked amazing. He should go pro. Good luck deciding. Maybe one of each!
WOW! I am so impressed. Such a beautifly couple and such beautiful photos. You should be very proud! My favorite is where Leah is lying in Nick's arms, her eyes are closed, and Nick is kissing her.
Super cute you two! I totally love the serious one, jumping one, and any with Ollie. Looking forward to seeing the wedding pics since I won't be able to go…bummer.
Great photos. Like father like son?
Wish we had some from 35 years ago!
I love each and every photo but I love Nick and Leah more! … and Ollie, wow is he photogenic. All of the photos capture the essence if their personalities. It would be impossible to select which ones to use.
LOVE these photos…they truly capture the two of you!! Can't wait for the big day!!
Wow. Love is truly beautiful.

Hello from Albuquerque, Colton and I had a great time looking at your pics. Looks like you had so much fun. Colton likes the puppy ones, too cute! Can't wait to see the wedding pics.
My fav is #12. I am so happy for you both.
Great photos. The focus (and maybe even more importantly, the out-of-focus) items in many of the photos really highlights the bride and groom to be…not to mention a really awesome dog. Great job!
WOW! Great pictures! Thanks for sharing these with us– I'll take a copy of each (jk!). w/love
I just got your email about these pictures. I dont use that email anymore. My new address is jnfrmkow@yahoo.com

Great photos!
Classic shots! Hot stuff x2!! But I'm going to have to hot-line you guys in for animal cruelty… that stunt of launching the dog was over the line..
I love your pictures! Peter and I hope to see you both soon!
Now you're ready for House Hunters on HGTV. Seriously, I swear they only take the most photogenic people to look for houses! These photos are super, super, super! (But get that sweet dog off the train tracks!)
What beautiful photos! I love the background for each picture. I knew you guys would make great pictures but I did not know Oliver was such a good model! Best wishes for a bright future together! Love, Carla
