Charlianne and Homer – Engaged! » McGraw Photography Blog

I’ve know Charlianne for many years as she is best friends with my two younger sisters. Charlianne and my sister, Ronnie, even flew out to Phoenix to visit me when I lived there. I introduced them to the Grand Canyon and we went camping together on the shore of Lake Powell. As a side note: I like to rough it when I’m camping. So, if you can hang with me, we’re cool. We even got discriminated against at the Denny’s in Page, AZ (I’ll save that for another blog post). LOL! Charlianne attended my wedding and we were both bridesmaids in my sister’s wedding. Long story short, we have a history.

Needless to say, when she approached me about shooting her engagement photos, I had no other choice but to say yes. Even though its not typically what I do, rules are made for breaking, right?

I warmed up by photographing what I’m most comfortable with – their dogs! Their furbabies are Addison, a sweet chocolate Lab, and Teddy, a little ball of cute energy…

Once the dogs were finished, it was time to concentrate on the love birds. Charlianne has known Homer since high school but they only started dating after chatting it up at a friend’s wedding a few years ago. That must have been a sign because she has waited for the ring ever since and had no doubts when it came time to say YES.
