When Courtney and I first met Libby and Scotty for their engagement shoot they said something like, “We don’t like kissy, lovey photos.” Um. OK, I always take lovey photos, so what to do? We just stood back and let these two be themselves and do whatever they wanted. I don’t think I have laughed this hard at a shoot in a while – they had their own great ideas, props and costumes – we loved it and had so much fun.
Thank you for amazing styling Courtney Ford Event Design and wardrobe by Cam from Dressed Boutique.

I asked them how they met. This is what they wrote:
Our fairytale is a little unorthodox, but it has made for one amazing ride so far! We can wait to see where it takes us next. Thanks to Kelly and Courtney, we had an amazing shoot where we felt free to be ourselves and have lots of fun as always!!!

It was a cold and windy night in the small village known as New Smyrna Beach when The Beauty and the Beast came to meet. She, in her red blouse with wavy blonde locks and him barefoot and older. Thanks to a mutual friend named BJ and a common musical interest in Jim James, they both decided to swim in the same river for awhile. There sure were some big rocks on that rough whitewater, but they finally crawled into a sturdy boat on some smoother, calmer water and decided to make the bond permanent. Knowing full well it’ll get rough again, as long as they have each others back and don’t forget the paddle, they can navigate any rough course…
