A dog, vintage hat, and a summer sunset: Philip + Rachel + Remy

My husband and I met Philip one mid-summers evening as we were walking Cinna, our Barbet (French Water Dog). Philip and Rachel own Remy a water dog mix and he had to know what Cinna was. Well after we chatted dogs a bit we got into photography and they said he would like to get their engagement photos done with Remy. Low and behold a week later we had our session. We had to rush as Rachel was a summer intern at Cummins and the three were heading to grad school in a couple weeks. Philip plays the saxophone so naturally we had to incorporate that, his vintage hat Rachel got him in Austin, Texas, as well as the ever adorable Remy. I LOVE when couples include their pets and hobbies in their sessions. In fact, I strive in each session to bring out their personalities as who wants boring photos when you can have some like these:

Yup Remy is that cute!

Rachel already had Philip’s engagement ring… if you look closely you may be able to figure out it’s code. By far the most intricate and coolest men’s ring I’ve ever seen.
