A casual, fun couple e-sesh; Molly + Chad

Eeeeeeeek. < That was a squeal of delight, my friends. Why, you ask? Well not only is today my birthday (the big 2-5), but I also get to share an e-sesh that I love. And I don't just love it because the bride-to-be is one of my besties and I get to be in her wedding and wear a fun dress (more on that later) but because I really love these photos. One glance at them and you can tell exactly why I love this couple. They are fun, laid-back, and completely head-over-heels for each other and it just makes me smile. Let's get on with the pictures shall we? And I'll save the best part about this entire shoot until the end. Because I can.

Okay, are you ready to hear the awesomeness of this shoot? My dear, penny-pinching friend Molly (and I mean that in the kindest of ways) found their photographer on Groupon.

I'm not even pulling your leg. When she told me that (well before the shoot) my eyeballs grew to the size of ping pong balls and my mouth dropped to my knees. I said "Molly! You have got to get a REAL photographer! You will want to keep these photos forever and you cannot use some wannabe photographer from Groupon." But Molly stuck with it because it was a good deal and she figured she could always do a re-shoot if they came out horrid. And lucky for her because she walked away with some great photos, extra change in her pocket, and the joy that always comes from saving moula.
