Billiejo & Richard's Engagement Session

Here are some shots from Billiejo & Richard's Engagement Session. A really beautiful couple. I think there is about a foot difference in their height! I was totally sick when I took these photos (not contagious) but I sucked it up and managed to get some really awesome shots of the two and they never even knew it =)

I am looking forward to photographing their wedding in a few weeks. The location is gorgeous and the wedding sounds like it is going to be attended by a lot of fun loving family and friends.

See you both soon!

Beverly & Steve's Engagement Session

Here are some highlights from Beverly & Steve's Engagement session. They are an adorable couple and have puppy love written all over the way they interact with each other.

They enjoy a laid back and casual style and both love nature and wanted their engagement photos to reflect that. We went to some locations near the studio with some picturesque settings that showcased the natural beauty of the area.

They will be getting married in June and I am honored to have the opportunity to photograph their wedding. This will be my first wedding assignment but I feel like I have been grooming myself to shoot weddings. I am extremely excited to document the wedding and turn out some breathtaking images. Thanks to them both, they are an awesome couple.

Regina & Jason's Engagement Portraits

This adorable young couple wanted some simple engagement portraits done for announcements and to have for their upcoming wedding. Both were not particular about the portrait style so I tried a variety of poses and styles from classic, romantic, modern, sweet and shots that had them interact so as to catch some facets of their natural personalities.

I love this shot, it is sweet with a touch of humor to it.

Can you believe Regina almost always keeps her hair up in a ponytail? She has gorgeous blonde hair which I wanted to play up by adding a little bit of wind. I asked her to gaze off towards the light and the combination of her beautiful strong gaze, slightly windswept hair and the embrace between the couple makes her look like a goddess. I love this shot.

I wanted to create some romance and evoke emotion by "recreating" the proposal. I focused on the ring and chose to blur out everything else to replay the moment when Jason proposed to Gina and the dizzying excitement that must have been shared as she accepted and the ring was slid onto her finger.
