~ Couples ~ Becki & Ben in Tandem

I LOVE this couple - young, fun, sweet, sporty, beautiful parents of young kids!!!! You won't believe the last one when you see their pictures, but it's true! Or maybe they just borrow the kids to gatecrash playgroup... Anyway, I was thrilled when they agreed to find a tandem bicycle to use as part of their session. Cycling, taking pictures, WHAT a fun afternoon!!

There's always an age-appropriate *surprise* involved in my sessions! Seriously, I can't help myself. I just love everyone I work with! ♥ For this session, I brought along some cheerful yellow flowers to use as a prop, which Becki & Ben got to take home at the end. They were probably a bit battered by then, but will be forever immortalized in the pictures, at least, adding a bright splash of romance to this smiley couple's portraits!

Speaking of romance.... doesn't this make you clasp your hands together and squeal "Ahhhhh"!! Just me? I need to get out more.... ;-)

You are such great sports, B&B, thanks for playing along when I asked you to lie on the painfully brittle dried grass - really love this image!! And you look SO comfortable... great acting!!!

After the romantic shots, we got on our bikes and whizzed down the trail to find some scenic locations for tandem pictures. Weeeeeeeeeee!! :-D

Occasionally, we got a bit silly... I actually found it hard keeping the camera still on this one, I was giggling so much... We had to reshoot a couple of times, but it was worth it!

We kept on ridin' and shootin' til the sun went down and just had time for some final close, intimate pictures of this inspiring, happy couple-in-love before racing back on our bikes in the dusk.

Smooooooch! Chuckle, thanks for being so beautiful, Becki & Ben!! Your love is so visible in all the images from this session and most obvious from the way your expressions always mimic each other - generally massive grins of unbridled joy!! You keep me smiling too :-D
