I met Micah and Alison separately at the college we all graduated from in Southern California. Alison (from the east coast) and I lived in the same dorm for a year, and Micah (from Northern California) and I were slave workers in our campus media department. I smiled every time I walked past the two of them hanging out in our dorm lounge, knowing that they claimed to be "only friends" while their eyes said otherwise. After Alison graduated and moved back to her home in North Carolina, it was fun to watch their relationship progress from Micah's perspective.
Micah had always told me that I would be his wedding photographer, yet I was still so excited when they conference skype called me last year and formally requested my creative presence at their summer wedding in NC. I'll be heading out there in early August to be a part of their big day, but was able to capture some engagement photos of them a couple of weeks ago- the day after both Micah and I walked across the stage at our school graduation.
To see more pictures and to get to know them a little better, check out their Wedding photo website at http://micahandalison.beckajayne.com/
Even though I know both Micah and Alison, there is still so much I can learn about them while photographing an engagement session that will help me capture them better on their wedding day. I get to see how they interact with each other in front of a camera, how much or how little encouragement they need to be natural and what makes them laugh or act seriously in love.
Here Micah is repeating lines from their favorite chick-flick, Sleepless in Seattle. He sounded so much like Tom Hanks he even had me pausing what I was doing to listen and laugh along.
They love to dance. Major props go out to Micah.
Alison is so beautiful! One of my first memories of her was being dressed up as Hayley from the band Paramore for a costume party we went to. I thought she looked so gorgeous and cool- and here I am three years later getting to photograph her for her wedding. So awesome!
