Mike and Bethany, two of my very good friends, got engaged back in July. In September — three weeks before the wedding! — we had a fun engagement photo session.

As is generally the case with engaged couples, they may have been somewhat fond of each other.

Mike has a beard that makes many men envious. Are you envious? Yes you are. Don’t lie.

At one point, gravity got a little confused…

…but eventually it got back to normal.

No, really. It got back to normal. That’s a reflection. It’s supposed to be upside down.

See? Gravity was as happy as Mike and Bethany.

After a while, they grew weary of the photo session…

…which was fine because I’d filled up several cards and was getting worn out, too. We ended the session and went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

Since you might be wondering: I’m happy to report that they did get married three weeks later, and I did manage to get a few photos of that happy event as well. The wedding photos will show up here eventually.
