A GOOD MAN.
05/12/2009My brother is a good man. And I’m not just saying that because I’m INCREDIBLY biased. A shapeshifter, he’s one of those people who can walk into any situation and fit in. Everyone likes him. He’s unbelievably smart, and considering what I know about the kinds of things he did in college I’m pretty surprised. I kid mom, I kid. His sense of humor is much better than mine. In fact, he’s made me laugh so hard I’ve peed, I mean REALLY peed. He’s handsome…. so handsome. I’m not just saying that because he looks like me with no hair. Other women have told me he is. I SWEAR. He is driven and successful, but grounded and real. He can fix stuff and build stuff and clean stuff. He’s trustworthy and honest, so honest that growing up if he did something wrong most of the time he would admit and apologize before my parents were even on to him.
Last summer he was living the single life and then it happened. A mutual friend introduced them, and for Walt it was an easy decision. Amanda was the one. He found his counterpart in an amazing, successful, gorgeous, and good woman. He wants every possibility for her, and she for him. Their love story is only beginning and I’m so excited and impatient to see where their lives will take them. I hope it involves lots and lots of pretty babies. Clarification: Not like the Duggars‘ lots, but enough to carry the gene pool. They will marry in an intimate ceremony this summer at Broken Top in Bend, and I am blessed to be the one to capture their day.
Here are some of my faves from their engagement session. It was so hard to narrow it down because we must have shot for 5 hours, the time just flew by.
Walt and Amanda, I just love your faces off.
See what I mean about the gene pool? SHEEEEESH.
