Leslie + Jamie | Engaged

….so I’ve been itching to blog this incredible couple since the day I had the pleasure of photographing them. Meet Leslie and Jamie. Leslie is a beautiful, talented photographer…. they live in the sunny state of California… and the coolest part? Little ole me gets to capture their upcoming wedding that is taking place in California in August!! I still ask myself the question, “why?”….. “why me?” … such awesome talent over on the west coast. I’ll always be a “cali” girl at heart…. so I’m pretty excited to say the least. Enough about me! Back in February, Leslie and Jamie decided to drive down to Las Vegas while I was attending WPPI and shoot their engagement session at the raddest location. Nothing excites me more than shooting in a new location…. it makes me nervous and giddy all at the same time. ….the afternoon turned out more perfect than I hoped for…. the location was. so. awesome. …. the desert lighting was. to. die. for….. and Leslie and Jamie’s chemistry was ….. perfect. On to the photos….. oh, just a warning…. this post is pretty long…. I’m not complaining;)

Leslie and Jamie – 2 months, 2 months!!!!!! I’m so so so excited!! You both have been SO sweet and SO amazing….  have I said “so” too much?? haha! Thank you guys for coming all the way out to Vegas and making that happen…. it’s a shoot that I truly will never forget! Can’t wait to squeeze you both in August!!!!!!!!

that second shot is money.

Heather + Jacob | Engaged

This shoot was…. incredible. I’ve loved Heather’s sweet personality since the moment I sat with her discussing the possibility of me being their photographer. I loved everything about her soon to be husband, Jacob, before I even met him…. her vision for their wedding…. their venue… I was hoping so badly she would book with me, and she did…. my heart was elated! We met up with Heather and Jacob to shoot their engagements…. and it was my most favorite type of shoot…. where you show up at a location, none of us really knowing where we were going or what we were going to take….. we just hung out, walked around…. and captured moments. It was awesome. I’m excited to be able to show my favorite frames from their shoot. Enjoy and happy weekend! ::Hugs::

Heather and Jacob, I can BARELY contain my excitement to capture your special day coming up!!!! It’s almost here!! eeeee!! It’s going to be nothing short of perfection…. you both are amazing and I’m truly thankful you guys are all mine:)Love you guys!

GIRL! You killed this session! It’s AMAZING! I’m a fan. ;)

Jeanna + Chris | Wedding

From the first time I met this beautiful couple, I knew their wedding day was going to be special. …. and it was. What I love most about these images is you’re able to see who Jeanna and Chris are…. as individuals… as two people in love. Their willingness to be themselves in front of my camera allowed me to capture some priceless memories…. ones I hope will forever bless them. Here are some of my favorite frames from the day. Enjoy!

Jeanna and Chris, thank you both for being yourselves and allowing me to capture who you both are. It was a beautiful thing to witness and I’m blessed because of it. Wishing you both a lifetime of  ”I love you’s” – - Much Love! xoxo

 

 

I’m thrilled to be able to show another awesome First Look!! I absolutely love this moment that the bride and groom get to share with each other before the ceremony. So priceless and sweet…. Here’s Jeanna’s thoughts : :

“I would consider myself a traditional girl; but from the day we got engaged, I knew I wanted to do a “First Look”. I mentioned it to Chris, and he said that he was okay with whatever I wanted to do (such a great fiancé/husband)! A lot of our family made it clear that they thought it was a bad idea, but we didn’t listen and did the “First Look” anyway. That was the BEST decision we made! We ended up with one of our most treasured memories of the day and our favorite pictures. I will always remember that special time we spent together, just the two of us soaking up our wedding day, away from everything else. And for those who wonder if it takes away from seeing your groom at the end of the aisle, that moment was just as special! And for the family members who doubt your decision, those pictures will end up being some of their favorites too!”

Jeanna had her mom be a part of their First Look which I absolutely adored. Her mom helped her get tucked away behind a tree and waited with her before she walked out to see her future groom. It was so special to capture.

Jeanna + Chris | Engaged

I truly adore my couples…. and I’m happy I get to share another one with you all! Jeanna and Chris are that type of couple that you feel like you’ve known them for years… Jeanna has the sweetest heart one could have and Chris has a gentleness about him. I love seeing couples that you know where meant for each other…. To be able to witness that is something I love most about what I do. ::Hugs!::
