Cozy Mariners Museum Engagement Session by Callie Hardman Photography

Whenever I see a playfully-in-love couple, A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh Bear quote comes to mind: "If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you."

Katie and Shawn love life together. Their playfulness and zest come in full color during their Mariners' Museum engagement session with Callie of Callie Hardman Photography in Newport News. As I read his words about what he loves about his wife-to-be, well, get ready to have your hearts melt:

I love that [Katie] never judges all of my silly antics, whether it's singing "Mr. Jones" by Counting Crows at the top of my lungs while driving, or if I am dancing in the kitchen... or on the stairs... or while she is getting ready in the morning in the bathroom... or while I am standing on the bed while she "was" just pleasantly sleeping. Not only does she not judge - she joins in on the merriment - which, of course, only makes me exponentially more happy, and shows that she really loves me for me, and is my perfect match.
