Heather contacted me back in August and asked if I would be interested in shooting their engagement photos…of course I said yes and we set up a date. However, the session date was set for after the couple was married! 🙂 There is a first time for everything, right? Heather and Mike are super nice and were excellent in front of the camera. Their little puppy even made an appearance  for the photo shoot. Here are a few of my FAVs.

    If you put some flames on Mike’s shirt, it would be the new Nickelback album cover.

  • phyllis holstein - November 21, 2010 - 1:30 PM

    Beautiful!!!! I like the two up against the old shed.

  • Julie Vorsteg - November 21, 2010 - 7:26 PM

  • Mike Leszcz - November 23, 2010 - 12:17 PM

    Great pictures!

    The Dad

  • Daniel Wheeler - November 23, 2010 - 12:42 PM

    Any of the above photos will look great as the backdrop for any new picture frames sold at Kohl’s and TJ Maxx – or better yet y’all could be the next 2011 models for the courtesy photo included with all 2011 Buxton wallets.

    Seriously though, y’all are a great looking couple and you selected a picturesque, serene setting for these engagement photos (even Ozzie looks relaxed and content).

  • Jane Jeffcoat - November 23, 2010 - 1:16 PM

    Craig, what a creative photographer. I think all of the pictures are great, I am partial to 37, 39 and 41. I think you had two photogenic people to work with also and Ozzie.

  • Mary-Eileen/Mom - November 23, 2010 - 1:39 PM

    Great pictures – especially liked Nos. 01, 35 and 39. You both look so happy and Craig certainly captured this in the unique setting. Happy Thanksgiving.

  • Sylvia Shealy - November 23, 2010 - 2:07 PM

    Especially fond of the 2 single photos against the shed and like the one with Ozzie – all were good!

  • Jody Thompson - November 23, 2010 - 3:01 PM

    These are great photographs. I especially like the one with Ozzie!!!

  • jim - November 23, 2010 - 5:56 PM

    nice pictures,very clear,and newlyweds are very photogenic. Craig my wife really enjoyed your web site playlist.

  • Marianne Leszcz - November 23, 2010 - 6:12 PM

    These pictures are AWESOME!!! Heather, you are beautiful 🙂 Michael, it was nice to see a smile 🙂 Ozzie is a cutie! The photographer did a really nice job!

  • Charlie Jeffcoat - November 24, 2010 - 8:30 AM

    Great photography. All the photos are wonderful with great composition, focus and creativity. Of course the subjects are great too. It will be difficult for me to select my favorites.

    (Heather’s Dad)

  • Mike Leszcz - November 24, 2010 - 9:25 AM

    Thank you all for the nice comments! Heather and I really appreciate you taking the time to view our pictures and providing comments.

    I have to admit that I was a bit apprehensive about the whole picture process as I’m not a big fan of getting my mug shot but I have to say, Craig was an absolute pleasure to work with and really put both of us at ease! If he got Ozzie pose, the guy is a hero! As you have already seen, Craig’s a very talented individual. As Heather and I both highly recommend Craig, please keep him in mind in the future.

    And I have to say in closing that Davy Wheeler’s comment is classic! Thanks Davy!

Check out this cute couple! Travis and Jordan! They are getting married 7/2/11 and it will be here before you know it!
