Everyone! You can finally stop pining away for these pictures because Valentine's day seemed like the puurrrffeect day to share them. In all honesty, I love this day because my mom leaves out little goody bags and valentines for her kiddos every year, but I'm not one to get all jumpy for fancy schmancy dinners and pink heart candy. I prefer something a little more real. So, I thought, today,  I'd share real love. A little glimpse into a couple's connection and commitment and devotion-- and the pure joy they find in each other.  I am so excited to post these photographs, and I hope you enjoy looking through them as much as I enjoyed taking them. I'm sure you already know, but Hannah and Bret are hysterical. They literally laughed the entire day. Part of that may or may not be the effect of an epic (yet accidental) plunge into the snow on my part--I didn't stop clicking the shutter for a second. Boom. Or it could have been the mere suggestion that they steal a random pooch we encountered for their photos. Or a baby with a mustache. Or Hannah tipping over in the snow/Bret tipping over on a kiddie horse on the playground. They kept me laughing the whole day too.

Bret and Hannah, it's so refreshing to see a couple as completely compatible as the two of you. It's so evident that you immensely enjoy each other, and that you share a love that is deep, yet simultaneously light. Strong, yet playful. A love that is yours alone, yet radiates out to those around you.
