A sentence I never thought I would hear during an engagement shoot is "Did you remember the cheese?"

Towards the beginning of Alex and Melissa'a relationship, Melissa came down with a sickness. She was ill for quite some time and Alex showed his love in one particular way. By making grilled cheese sandwiches. When I heard this story, I immediately told the couple, "We should do grilled cheese sandwich engagement photos!" And so we did.

We had so much fun with Alex and Melissa, but the day was not without difficulty.The thing I love most about them is that no matter what happened, they continued to be their fun and goofy selves. Even though we had to endure many "jump in the car and get warm" breaks and a long wait for a truck to pull us out of the snow at one point (story to follow), that didn't stop them from having a great time. On our way to Mega Diner (one of their favorite date spots), I decided to have the couple pull over so we could get take advantage of the amazing sunset and try to get a couple silouettes. Because of the large amount of snow, I didn't realize that I pulled over into a ditch. But, even that didn't stop Alex and Melissa from being goofy and having fun. As we sat on the side of the road waiting, they used apps on their phone to make ridiculous videos. We laughed a lot.

I hope you enjoy their story!
