Chrissy and John were so much fun to photograph.  I could have photographed them for hours really...  and the good news is I get to this January as they will be my first wedding of 2014.  I have the best results with engagement photography when couples are willing to relax and just have fun.  That's exactly what we did here.  They just ran through a series of motions and played and played and played some more.  Chrissy and John are the nicest couple and I can't say enough how fortunate I am to …
