Engaged ~ Newton, NC Portrait Photographer
They are the cutest couple. Beautiful both inside and out. Getting ready to start the beginning of the rest of their lives ... together. Matt and Ashlea recently got engaged and threw a wonderful engagement party to celebrate with family and friends.
The party was held outdoors in my neighbor's beautiful backyard. {How convenient for me.} My neighbor just happens to be Ashlea's aunt. There were tables with red checkered cloths, good food, good friends and family ... even Corn Hole. A game which is sort of a cross between a bean bag toss and horse shoes. It was quite the hit. Even a brief downpour did nothing to dampen the spirit of the evening.
This was no fancy, smanshy party. No sirreee! This was a Louisiana style cookout!
I've never seen so many pots a'boilin at one time in my life. And the "cooks" were awesome. They had the whole thing down to a science. Crawfish straight from Louisiana. Blue crab and shrimp. Boiled potatoes, corn and sausage. Bowls of fresh fruit. Beer and other beverages, including something called "German Chocolate Cake shots". They were the hit of the evening. Everyone who had one said they were awesome. I declined, cause I figured one of those and I probably wouldn't be able to work anymore. lol
It was a terrific evening. Ashlea, Matt and their families are the best. I can't wait to take their engagement photos this fall. They will be a blast to work with. I'll leave you with one of my favorite shots of the night. Eating crawfish the "right" way .... yuck!!! :)
