Amanda + Gentry's Sneak Peek {Engagement Session}

It is with much excitement that I welcome the stunning Amanda back to the blog, and introduce for the first time her fiancĂ©, Gentry!  If you've seen Amanda's previous sessions (or if you take a few minutes to go check them out) you will quickly notice that she is a girl who loves urban locations for her photos, which is just one of the many, many reasons why I adore her!

Give me the choice between a pretty green park and a run down alley way and I'll pick that alley hands down every time.  Of course, most clients prefer the prettier settings so I don't get the opportunity to take photographs in urban locations as often as I would prefer.  So, I was thrilled when Amanda and Gentry requested to have their engagement photos taken downtown.  We picked a meeting place and time, and then spent a few hours just wandering around finding fun places for their photos.  We found a lot of really awesome places to shoot, and the lighting was just gorgeous.   Everything came together perfectly, and I must say that theirs is definitely one of my all time favorite sessions!

So without further ado, please allow me to share a peek at Amanda and Gentry's engagement session:


I have no idea what this establishment is, but I was mesmerized with this sign and had a ton of fun incorporating it into some photos...



So sweet...



Check out that gorgeous ring!...



This one is definitely a favorite!...


We had a blast playing in the street for some of their photos. Luckily, there wasn't too much traffic...





Love, love, love!  This one definitely belongs in a frame...


Look at that lighting.  Swoon...


Now this one.  It doesn't just belong in a frame.  It belongs on a huge canvas!  It's not often that I can pick an absolute favorite image from a session, but I think this is an exception.  Seriously.  There are not words...





Adorable...




Love both of these, too!...


Another favorite...


What an incredible looking couple!...


More sweetness...


Of course, I had to sneak in another shot of that stunning ring...


It was love at first sight when I saw this building!...




I just adore this image...


Best. Building. Ever...




One last ring photo of that beautiful ring...


Simply stunning...


One last fun one just for kicks...


Amanda and Gentry,  Thank you for allowing me to take your engagement photos.  It was so much fun spending my evening with you both.  I hope you love your photos as much as I do!

Steve + Tabitha's Sneak Peek {Engagement Session}

This past weekend I had the huge honor of taking Steve and Tabitha's engagement photos!  Both of them attend law school with my husband, and I distinctly remember hearing the awesome news when the two of them got engaged.  Steve is so laid back and a ton of fun to hang out with, and Tabitha is an absolute sweetheart.  I can't think of a better way to spend a Friday evening than photographing such an amazing couple.

Steve and Tabitha asked to have their session at the Scottsdale Civic Center, so I was super excited to finally get to take some photos of the iconic "love" statue. But first, let's show off some photos of the gorgeous couple, shall we?!

I give you you the future Mr. & Mrs....


This is definitely a favorite. I just love the smiles they have for one another!...



Kevin and I have a photo similar to this from our engagement session and I absolutely love it! Because I heart my photo so much I always try to capture something similar for the couples I photograph...



I am in love with this set of photos in front of these gorgeous trees...




Ah, yes! The lovebirds in front of the love statue...


Check out that GORGEOUS ring!...




Steve is probably going to kill me for this, but I couldn't resist. If that look doesn't say "I adore you" I don't know what does!



Steve and Tabitha, Thank you so much for allowing me to take your engagement photos and capture this amazing time for you. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding this summer. I wish you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and happily ever after. I couldn't be happier for you two.
