jared & lisa | west manor engagement session

I call these two my coffee shop couple. I met Jared and Lisa while they were both in law school, spending every waking non-academic hour at a local coffee shop studying for classes and then later for L-SATS. They spent so many hours at coffee shops around town that it was only natural for Jared to propose to Lisa in a coffee shop, with a full cup of coffee. And of COURSE we would shoot part of their engagement session in a coffee shop!

We stepped outside of the coffee shop for a few minutes to utilize the adorable patio for a few equally adorable pictures:

Then we hopped over to West Manor, the location of their wedding, and had a good time walking the grounds there. West Manor is such a beautiful location. They are under new ownership now and are in the process of renovating a lot of the property for the 2012 wedding season. I can't wait to see it all completed and with a fresh, new look!

Stay tuned for their wedding post later this week! I am on a blogging roll and can't wait to share all of the beautiful couples I had the opportunity to work with in 2011!
