On Saturday, I spent some time with Craig and Leah. This sweet Dallas-based engaged couple was in town for some wedding planning and to visit with her family on Leah’s favorite holiday, the fourth of July. They endured heat, bug bites, and stayed out with me very late to get some dynamite engagement photos.

Both Craig and Leah are Indiana natives. Leah was living in Dallas and bumped into Craig one weekend when he was just in Texas for a visit. They connected because they were the only two people in the bar for a Colts/Cowboys that were wearing Colts gear. They dated long distance for five months and then Craig moved to Dallas to be closer to Leah. In December Craig popped the question, and they will be married this coming October.

Thank you, Craig and Leah, for staying out late with me instead of with your family. It was so fun to document your love. I can’t wait for the wedding! Congratulations!

*Special thanks to the Pahl family who let us use their pier for the fireworks photos.
