University of Colorado Engagement: Jeremy and Vanessa

This is one of my favorite sessions – not just because I think the pictures came out awesome (which they did), but because it was so much fun to work with Jeremy and Vanessa. I’ve been meaning to post this for a while now, and I’m glad it’s finally happening!

Jeremy is a guy that makes life seem more fun when you’re around him and Vanessa is the perfect compliment. Together, they are a couple that could (should) someday have a movie made about their relationship and life together. It would be the perfect romantic comedy, hitting all the right notes of comedy, suspense, and the guy who gets the girl.

… and it doesn’t hurt that Jeremy can tell a story.

My favorite? Tough to say. But at the top would be:

1. The first date. It’s a complicated story, but the ingredients include (a), Jeremy getting Vanessa to finally agree on a (sort of) first date by implying that he owned a bike and would love to go on a ride with Vanessa. (b) Jeremy then scrambling (unbeknownst to Vanessa) to get his hands on a bike, ultimately finding one with a broken seat forcing him to stand up for the entire ride. (c) Hurting himself while trying to ride the bike (but playing it cool). And then (d), locking up the bike at the end of the date and forgetting he even had the bike until a later time when Vanessa asks him about it.
2. Getting her back. This is another complicated story where Jeremy and Vanessa sort of break up while Jeremy’s in another country for a time. On her birthday, he calls the restaurant she’s celebrating at (while he’s still out of the country) and works with the waiter to simultaneously make an awesome romantic gesture and punk the new guy trying to make his move on Vanessa. The story gives me chills. It’s awesome.

See? It’s ‘made for TV’ stuff. I had so much fun walking abound the University of Colorado and Chautauqua Park listening to their story and now I can’t wait for their wedding at the Manor House in June!
