This adorable bookstore engagement session is one for the books! (see what I did there? Haha!). But in all seriousness, when Katie and Josh approached me with the idea of having their engagement photos taken at Watermark Books & Cafe I was extremely excited because I have always wanted to take photos at a book store!

Katie and Josh are both book worms so it was fitting to have a bookstore engagement session! Watermark books was so kind to allow us to wander through their shelves for an afternoon.

I love the way Josh could make Katie laugh, and watching the twinkle in Katie’s eyes as she giggled at her fiancé was just beautiful. These two are so in love and it definitely showed.

Katie and Josh, thank you for inviting me into your lives to document your love and tell your story through photos. I can’t wait for your wedding, I know it is going to be beyond special!

If you are getting married in 2017 I am taking just a few more weddings this year and I’d love to schedule free consultation for you. I really like to dedicate a lot of time and energy to each couple so you won’t see me shooting 35 wedding per year because I want to make YOUR wedding special and really devote my time and attention to YOU! Send me an email at valerie@valerieshannonphotography.com and let me take you out for a bagel or juice and chat about the plans you have for your wedding day.

I am also booking for 2018 weddings for those of you who are super planners and love to get things crossed off your list!
