Nic & Ty's Guest Book

This is the slideshow of Nicole & Tyler's guest book, full of their favorite photos from their engagement shoot. And yes, they really did choose "Barf" for the cover. :) They are just too fun! See you crazy kids in a few weeks!! :)

More Love....

I will attempt to catch up on some blogging soon, but we're busy, busy, so no promises. ;)

Here is the second part of our photo shoot with Nicole & Tyler, aka The Couple Voted Most Likely To Give You a Toothache....you know, because they are so sweet. :) They wanted an informal session and didn't want to do a lot of posing, so we basically just followed them around, offering hints when needed. They were fabulous subjects so there were a ton of great pics. Here are some more of my favorites...

In this same location, their expressions ranged from smokin' hot to sugary sweet, with lots of laughs in between. The awesome thing is, they just really are this cute with each other!

I love that you can really feel how much they care about each other...

He made her leg "pop"!

Oh! Too much cuteness!! I can't take it!! It was a close race, but I think these last two are my favorites. They just really capture their personalities.

I'm smitten. They are just too cute for words...

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these guys. I can't wait for the big day!!

Finding LOVE in unlikely places

We first met Nicole & Tyler at their friends' Colleen & Preston's wedding last year.  C&P were totally laid-back and we had such a great time shooting their wedding, so we were psyched when Nicole & Tyler called us to shoot their upcoming wedding.

They probably forgot about these pictures from C&P's wedding, but we didn't!!  We've got: 

1) Nicole and the bride.

2) the "Monsters in the Closet" group photo that the couple specifically requested. The arrows point out Nicole & Tyler's awesome faces.

3) the groom and Tyler riding on the stone horse outside of PF Chang's. It was something that the groom had always wanted to do and Roy was there to catch it. (Do NOT try this.)

4) the guys and Roy leaving PF Chang's quickly after being reprimanded by a manager. I was there to catch them fleeing.

Nicole & Tyler are adorable and fun-loving.  Their joie de vivre is totally infectious, so we had a BLAST shooting their engagement photos.  They wanted a casual feel for their portraits, so we went industrial.  It was just one big, fun, urban romp, where occasionally, they were asked to hold a pose.

Since they are having an October wedding, this Grim Reaper mural caught our eye...

We found a rake lying near this dock, so Tyler wanted to try for a modern "American Gothic" homage...

This building was falling down, so they did their part to help hold it up...

This will likely be the cover of their photo guest book...

Check out Nicole's super cute shoes!

There are going to be tons more photos from this session because they were having too much fun!  

Nicole & Wade, part deux

Continuing the fun of our session with lovebirds, Nicole & Wade....

A slight detour led us to this lovely waterfall and we're glad it did.

Another unscripted stop yielded some nice photos (and Wade got some quality time with the statues) all because they totally trusted us...Love it!!

This shot was Nicole's idea and it turned out great (after we found a spot that didn't blind them).

We hadn't planned on this particular setting, but I fell in love with the hip shirts they were wearing and I thought a gritty urban locale would make a great backdrop.  Thankfully, this couple was up for the challenge and we got some great stuff there.

Still smiling...

Last stop: the LOVE train...Whoo, whoo!!  

Thanks, N & W...you were a blast!  We can't wait for the wedding!!

Summertime Romance

Sometimes, I can't believe we get paid to just hang out with cool people.  

I'm going to be really honest right now...I love what we do, but I was not looking forward to our shoot last Saturday because I knew it was going be ridiculously hot outside.  I was worried that our engaged couple would tire quickly in the summer sun, which is not conducive to quality shots--it is hard to look happily in love when your face is melting off.

My fears were quickly put to rest when we started our session.  Nicole & Wade, who will marry in September, had brought their game faces and were ready for anything.  This young, fun-loving couple made the afternoon fly by and frankly, we were sad to leave.  Since they were willing to follow our crazy whims, including several last-minute stops, we ended up shooting at 7 different locations!  We wanted a lot of variety since we will be creating a custom photo guest book for their wedding.  I haven't gotten through all of the pictures yet, so rest assured there will be more samples coming, but here are a few to get you started...

All aboard for romance!

We love red!

I call this one, "Love, Close Up With a Wide-Angle Lens"...

Stay tuned for more Nicole & Wade...

A family affair

Carrie & Jayson, sitting in a tree...  actually, they were walking in a rose garden, but you know what I'm sayin'.  :)  We are getting excited for their rapidly approaching 4th of July wedding!!  

We had a fabulously fun day with the two families that are being brought together with this marriage.  The 6 kids (yes, 6!) were great subjects!

The younger kids had so much energy!

Holly and Hannah hiding...

Thanks for a great day!  We'll see you all soon!!
