Chris & Julie's South Mountain Engagement Session
A few weeks ago we were able to go out and photograph this lovely couple. We had a great time running around South Mountain getting their photos!
I know taking photos isn't Chris's favorite activity, but he was such a trooper and we loved how silly he was. Julie was having a blast bouncing ideas around while we were there which always makes the experience more memorable. South Mountain is actually not one of the places we've been able to shoot until now so it was definitely a new, exciting experience for us.
Paula and Jacob's Sweet Engagement Session
A few weeks back we got the chance to photograph this adorable couple. They were super sweet and led us to this beautiful little sanctuary out in Cave Creek. Spur Cross Ranch Conservation area was not one we had been to before they brought it up. The colors were gorgeous in early December, and we are so happy with how the photos came out.
Matt and Courtney's Engagement Session at DC Ranch
We had originally met this couple a few months ago. They were excited and happy, and it was obvious that these two people meshed well together. That never changed at any time when we were with them even when there were a few bumps in the road!
Upon first meeting them we learned that their wedding day was coming up pretty quick and a lot of their guests happened to be out of town. That would mean that their save-the-date and invitations would need to go out as quickly as possible. However, her ring had been sent in and they weren’t going to have it back for a few weeks. We didn’t think she should settle with not having it in the pictures because surely she would want it there. The other dilemma was that if the engagement photos didn’t happen that weekend then they would be forced to wait a couple more weeks because Matt had an operation that next Monday. It was nothing too serious, but still something that would take a couple weeks to heal. No fear! We made a plan, stuck to it, and it all worked out very well.
When they had mentioned they would like their dogs in some of the photos what we had decided to do was to go out with Courtney, Matt, and dogs for a half an hour or so in order to get a photo for their save-the-date. Well… they originally said they were going to choose one dog, but ended up bringing both which made for some super cute family photos if I do say so myself. I’m glad both dogs ended up there even if they aren’t each other’s biggest fans.
Over this past weekend we were able to run around DC Ranch in Scottsdale for the rest of their engagement session. We were really excited going into it because we had never photographed a couple there before, and after having scouted the location weeks back it seemed like such a great place for photos. It also fit their style perfectly when they asked for a sort of rustic feel. We all had so much fun. They were such an enjoyable couple to be around. It felt like we were good friends that hung out all the time. Our sarcastic humor meshed well, and it was fun to be able to joke around and laugh a lot during the whole session. Especially when a slightly drunk woman thought we were singers. I think Matt’s quick wit further solidified her drunken beliefs.
After figuring out all the little bumps along the way and all the smiles that ensued thereafter, we are incredibly happy with all of the pictures that came from it!
