i know, i know – i’m crazy behind on blog posts, and i’ve previewed about a gazillion sessions that i still haven’t blogged in full. i’ll get there eventually, but my schedule is still insane from the livingsocial deal.

 for now, though, i had to share danielle and chris’s engagement session. these two are from georgia, but they’re getting married at walt disney world next year, and i couldn’t have been more thrilled to spend some time with them! danielle is my first admitted “stalker,” which was about the best thing i’ve ever heard from a client. chris and danielle are so funny and sweet and easy to spend time with – i can’t wait for their wedding!

how gorgeous is danielle? seriously.

since the wedding is going to be at sea breeze point, we had to take some traditional “boardwalk wall” photos.

the big couch is back! if you’re a disney fanatic, you know what chair/couch/love seat i’m talking about, and if not, that’s it in the photo above. it’s perfect for photos, but they constantly take it away, so i never know if it will be there or not. i always get unnecessarily excited when it is there.

we even got to sneak a few photos in at beaches and cream before they opened for the day…thank you so much, waitress who was kind enough to turn the jukebox on for us!

once we’d circled the boardwalk, yacht club, and beach club, we headed to the polynesian for some more photos. these guys were serious troopers despite the killer heat. at least it wasn’t raining!

danielle, you’re going to be a seriously gorgeous bride. also, this was the most dramatic piggyback ride i have ever seen. i don’t think that makes sense unless you had been there to see it. you’ll just have to trust me.

i can not wait to see you ride to the wedding ceremony on one of these bikes, danielle! thank you both for being so awesome, and i’ll see you soon!
