This is the first time I have ever posted an engagement and a bridal together!  I absolutely adore this couple and I can not wait to share their beautiful wedding day images as well.

Meet Irene & Darren.  Irene is literally a fresh a breath air.  I don’t think I’ve ever met someone quite like her.  She’s beautiful, intelligent, thoughtful, fun loving, and a complete joy to be around.   You literally can’t be in a bad mood around her.   Her positive attitude and smile are truly contagious and it’s no surprise that she caught Darren’s eye.  Darren and Irene met at work and it’s ongoing joke that Irene was attracted to Darren’s big muscle (his brain). Darren does have a lot more to offer than his big brain.  🙂  Darren’s sweet gentle nature with Irene was so incredibly refreshing to see.  He is the epitome of a gentleman.   I loved to see how Irene brought out the playful and silly side of Darren.  I could tell by spending a few minutes with them that they had truly found their match.

Here are a few of my favorite images from the engagement session at a private farm, and some of my favorite images from Irene’s bridal session at the Fort Worth Japanese Gardens.
