Imani is an amazing young woman who is full of potential. She’s has such a great personality that you can’t help but be in a good mood around her. She loves Paris, France and the Flute, but nothing more than her sweet little dog! Imani had a bright smile and was great to work with! We are completely thrilled to have met her and know that she is going to succeed at anything she puts her mind to. Take a look at just a few pictures from her session with us!

If you’ve been following us for awhile, you will know that Kaley and Colin were the winners of our Valentine’s day contest for a FREE wedding package. We were lucky enough to get to know them pretty well since the contest and are excited to show off a few of their wedding photos. The two of them are going to have a bright future together, and we couldn’t be more proud to have had the chance to work with them!

Meet Bill and Christina, a unique couple that had a unique wedding. They are both speed skaters and as fate would have it, they would meet at a race. You can tell that they balance each other out perfectly, making each other laugh and smile without even saying a word. The energy between them could light a room, and it showed on their special day. They wanted their wedding day to be as original as they are, so they were married at sunrise on the beach in Northern Michigan and then spent the day with friends and family for brunch, followed by an all day wine tour, which then ended as a big party in the late evening with a bonfire and Chinese lanterns. Congratulations to the happy couple, we wish you many amazing years together! ]]> http://renaerashael.com/2012/09/the-happy-couple-mckinney-wedding-photographer/feed/ 0 http://renaerashael.com/2012/09/the-happy-couple-mckinney-wedding-photographer/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/renaerashael/~3/nGBVfnH-pqw/ http://renaerashael.com/2012/08/babies-frisco-texas-baby-photographer/#comments Sat, 25 Aug 2012 03:08:49 +0000 Renae Rashael Team http://renaerashael.com/?p=626 NOTE: the images in this feed have been downsized or removed for copyright reasons.

Not to mention, they also won our valentine’s giveaway for a wedding package in February! Colin is a major “Halo” fan, while Kaley lovessss mashed potatoes. Check out a few pics from their engagement session and then if you have a minute, watch their video and read the story of how they met in their own words!

Once upon a time, in a land far far away there was a prince on a quest to find his one true blah blah blah! Fairy tales are nice but this is the REAL LIFE story of how I met my future husband, and believe me it’s far from a Disney movie! Don’t get me wrong it can get pretty mushy gushy at times, but in real life there’s problems and struggles that in my opinion make the true love stories even better than the ones you have heard about since childhood.

When I was nineteen I was a very happy normal teenager who had no idea where her life would take her. I had dated around but was not too concerned with my future or anyone who would be involved in it for that matter! Unless of course it were Ryan Gosling! My mom had married at 17 and both of my brothers at 19, so it was expected that I follow in the same path and so far I was falling behind! And even though at every family gathering I got the old, “So who are you dating? Your next ya know!” I was not concerned what so ever with that aspect of my life! So when my roommate decided to set me up with her boyfriend’s roommate, I didn’t have too high of expectations.

But since I had no plans that night, I accepted her invitation and decided I would grin and bear a blind date, at least it was a double! I won’t tell you it was love at first sight because it definitely wasn’t. In fact, I wasn’t too fond of him at first, but the more I was around him the more I just couldn’t stop thinking about him! It was so strange! This man that I at first thought of as a little obnoxious and a lot loud was suddenly the center of everything to me. I had never met someone who had that effect on me. And now two years later I couldn’t imagine spending my life with anyone else. He pushes me to reach my goals and he is someone I aspire to be like. Although we have had our ups and downs our relationship just continues to get better and better. So I guess it sounds cliché, but I definitely found my prince charming.
