Tyler+Monica Engagement

Giggles! Monica is full of laughs and I think Tyler is her muse. His quiet smile is always with her and continually keeps Miss Monica with a HUGE smile on her beautiful face.

I say ‘Miss Monica’ because she is a school teacher who loves all her kids and talks about them a lot! This radiant couple found me because I had the extreme pleasure of hanging with Tyler’s sister, Ryan, at Jon+Caycee’s wedding. Ryan is the pretty blonde, fourth from the left, in the Perspective photos from earlier today.

Anyway, Monica and Tyler and I had a ball hanging out down at the Plaza. One thing about my engagement sessions…we have fun. We laugh and try to get to know one another and stay relaxed. It is not a photo session so much as it is a get-to-know-you session…a perfect way for a photographer to become familiar with his subjects before their wedding day, so on the wedding day isn’t shooting cold turkey. :-)

I hope you love the photos as much as I loved hanging out with them. Let me know what your favorite is and can you guess which one is my fav?

Is it a bee?! Aaaah!

  1. Sister Ryan

    So…after seeing him work at Caycee & Jon’s wedding I knew Dustin would be perfect for Tyler & Monica because he has that spark that both of them have too! The pics are great!! You did a fabulous job capturing their youthful energy and also their love for one another.

    Favorites…: I’m digging the portrait of Tyler by the tree looking like the teddy bear he is…and also the pic with Monica lying down flashing the gigantic smile of hers…but FAVORITE has to be the pic of the two of them under the tree with the sun shining through. Monica’s face says “mmmm…I’m a little nervous” and Tyler’s smile says “Don’t worry, I love you”. Beautiful shot!!

    P.S. I’m guessing your favorite is the symetrical one under the bridge, no? ;-)

  2. Monica

    Oh wow! Dustin, these are AMAZING! Better than I ever imagined! I can’t even begin to explain how much I LOVE them! It’s going to be impossible for me to pick a favorite-they’re all so great! You have truly captured our personalities, which leaves me in awe. Tyler loves the one with my arms crossed and my sly smile. He says it portrays me being sweet, but really it’s just me being bossy. Hehe :) And Tyler is totally a stud under that tree–just look at those DREAMY eyes! Ahhhh! They’re great! I can NOT wait for the proofs to come out! And for our wedding day to come!!!

  3. Caycee

    Yea! Tyler & Monica! I’ve been stalking the blog waiting for these to be up ever since Ryan told me you shot them. I love these pictures, my favorite is the one under the bridge where they’re both looking up. It’s fabulous. Keep up the steller work!

    How I loved the pictures!!! I love you both so very much.
