December 6: I've known Ben for several years and have always considered him to be a faithful worker with a penchant for engineering success in what he does. We've worked together to set up volleyball nets and to help facilitate volleyball games and so I could also see his leadership and decision-making abilities. I was glad to hear that he proposed to his girlfriend at a weekend getaway at a youth camp in the Shenandoah Valley.
I met with Ben and his fiance Colleen over coffee and we got to know each other better and talked about their upcoming wedding. We also discussed their engagement photographs and since they were engaged surrounded by wilderness, we thought about an outing in a park, a big park. The wedding is in March and they were ready for engagement photographs soon. In this cold season, we were waiting for a day with the best weather possible, and we were ready to jump on it when that day came.
The first day of snow in 2009 fell on December 5th, and several inches had fallen. It turned out that all three of us were free in the afternoon on Sunday, and with the snow still on the ground we went to a park. It was good to be out in the wilderness again, as I used to hike a lot. I enjoyed being outdoors, exploring, and getting a little exercise while photographing this engagement outing. It was an enjoyable afternoon in beautiful surroundings and we have photos to remind us of the beauty of nature and how it's important to take time out for a little getaway.
