As late afternoon waned, we left Bowman’s Hill and Washington Crossing Park and headed to downtown Doylestown for Part 2.  They made a quick clothing change and we started again at the corner of East State and Main Streets.  It gave us time to check out the lighting and recharge with a little Starbucks.  A little wardrobe change, and we hit the streets of Doylestown.

One of Jason’s favorite Lindsay “traits” – that red hair.  It was set off beautifully during our walk through the streets of Doylestown.

Jason professes he lives in casual gear, so does Lindsay.  But she pulled out the sassy for this.  And classy.  True.

Yes, we stopped traffic.  Well, the traffic of State Street on a Sunday evening.

Part 3…won’t be published, I promised.  And I am a man of my word…but it was great fun and I thank you.    The four of us ended the night starving, so headed to the Pineville Tavern to unwind, toast, and share a meal.  Perfect ending to a perfect day.  We can’t wait for the next episode:  prelude to the wedding, October 2012, at Fonthill in Doylestown.    Thanks Jason and Lindsay – love to you both.

Jason and Lindsay met in 2006, in Atlanta, Georgia.  All of her good friends took her out to celebrate her 24h birthday.  Arriving early, the place was relatively deserted…except for a group of guys.  Jason, was working in Atlanta, and a bunch of his friends from Bucks County were in town to visit.  As Lindsay tells it, in that still discernible Southern drawl, “…I looked across the room and saw this very tall guy and…I stared him down until, finally, he came and talked with me.  We danced all night, exchanged numbers…and the rest is history.”  That’s how you do it, Southern charm, beauty and confidence.  I don’t think he had a chance.

Lindsay’s laugh is contagious.  He is the quiet man to her bubbly, strong demeanor.  Eventually, Jason’s career returned him to Doylestown and they continued a long-distance relationship for a while.   But soon, Lindsay transplanted herself.  Good move.    They found mutual loves:  family, friends, the outdoors.   Jason is a cyclist and his races take them all over the Northeast.  Time away from work means finding museums, the zoo, and having dinner dates. These two impress me most with their love of life and action… and the way they really look at each other, listen…then Lindsay let’s out a big ‘ol laugh and Jason’s quieter laugh follows.  Beautiful.

Don’t be frightened.  This is He-Man.  Yes, he was part of the day; he is a part of their life.  I have to say, I’ve worked with animals, but never a cat.  Yes, it’s a cat.  (though Nancy thinks it’s a kind of a fluffy monkey – I’m somewhat inclined to agree).   He was the star of the shoot for a while.  When he wasn’t on his leash, he was in their arms, or hanging out in his carrier, contentedly watching the action.  (Nancy thinks he was “watching over them” – look at those eyes.  Do not mess with his mama!)   We all had so much fun because of this (cat) – including the way he let us know he was not happy to be left out of the action.  Suffice to say, when left in the car while we walked to another location he vocalized his dissatisfaction – honking the horn.  Too funny!

Lindsay.  Stunning.

Stay tuned…Part 2 still to come…y’all.
