Engagement Pictures. AMAZING!


We all have the ability to tell a story – not all of us will have a best selling book or award winning magazine article published – but God gave us all the ability to have our voice heard, and we all have our own special way of doing it. Some tell a story better through word of mouth, others are better at physically demonstrating or acting out a story, and some even use sign language to tell their stories. Some of us tell a story best through writing while others draw, paint, and sketch their stories out. No matter what your special talent or skill is, it will always gear back to storytelling.

As for me, you don’t even have to know me personally to be able to tell what category I fall into; just look at my blog and it tells all. I am no doubt a “writing storyteller.” I express words best down on paper, and I love to share it with people. As a writer, I have never posted a "wordless" entry since I started writing this blog. Don’t get me wrong, I ADORE all of you guys’ "Wordless Wednesdays" and "Silent Saturdays" posts – after a long day of reading and writing it’s just what I need, and sometimes a gal just wants to look at beautiful pictures! But for me, I usually express myself in words.

My wedding photographers on the other hand… they fall into the “art storyteller” category. And can I just say the very gifted “art storyteller” category! I know it's difficult to believe, but thanks to the work of Armosa Studios, I may just be silent on this post. As you have seen in the past, I usually feel the need to tell a LONG story or write something that could be compared in length to a chapter in a book (what can I say, I love to write!), but today I am going to post in silence because these pictures speak for themselves. Thank you Tera and Wes from Armosa Studios who have such a knack and true talent for “art storytelling” and such a gift for bringing couples and their love for each other alive - all through photographs!

  9. First time I have seen engagement photos that weren't centered around the bride for the most part, and that don't make the groom look like a dork.
    I love these photos, and would almost say you are an lovely accent to him in these photos. Some of my favorite ever....they tell a story of a man who has chose the woman he wanted, and he still seems so manly in these pics. Nice touch!
