The ice was bumpy and the temps were frigid, but Andrea and Cyrus kept smiling throughout their engagement session at Tenney Park.  I was sooo excited when they told me they decided to have an ice skating themed session.  We started-out on the ice and these two were pros — sliding all over without falling — even twirling.  I figured they got some inspiration from the Olympics, but Cyrus pointed-out that he was missing the U.S. men’s hockey game for the session … what a nice guy :)  I could tell that Cyrus was a former player — so easy-going on skates … (when I was nearly falling on my face wearing flat boots) … and Andrea looked like a natural as well!

Something I really love about these guys is how laid-back they are.  Their wedding will be super chill … a gathering of people they really care about.  I think it’s perfect for them and their easy-going demeanor.

Toward the end of the session, Andrea pulled-out some hats for them to wear and I loved it!  Seriously, props and extra accessories can never be bad.  We might not use them all, but it’s never a bad idea to come with extras.  I was so glad they did — they looked so great!  Thanks, Andrea and Cyrus, for spending time with me on the ice.  Can’t wait for your wedding this summer!

PS — I absolutely adore Andrea’s hair.  I’ve never seen curls like that and I wanted to photograph them all day long.  Fa’real.
