Angel + Brian :: Engagement

As soon as I spoke on the phone for the first time with Angel, I knew we clicked. She told me about her and Brian and all the exciting plans for her wedding and what she had in mind for her engagement photos – I was in looovve! I have been bursting with excitement until the day finally arrived to shoot her and Brian’s engagement photos. What really got me pumped about this shoot was how personal the location was. Brian’s grandfather owns an old camp house in Ville Platte, Louisiana – where Brian grew up. As Angel described it to me on the phone, I just knew it was going to be the most perfect spot for their photos. I of course had no idea what the location would be like until I arrived… but I had total faith that no matter what it looked like, I knew it would be the best place because they chose it together. And I do believe I was right. See for yourself:

Angel you are beautiful!

Two elements I love in a photo (besides the obvious gorgeous couple): cowboy boots and old run down buildings

You saw this in the sneak peak, but it’s too good not to post again. Hands down, my favorite of the day. This shot totally represents me as an artist. Angel and Brian completely rocked it.

The day was absolutely perfect. Just look at that light!

Angel and Brian really do make a perfect couple. They were completely at ease with one another and pretty much just forgot about me shooting them – which I adore!! I love this shot.

And this one…

Brian’s job requires him to work on this tractor as well as others – this might just be the biggest prop I’ve ever had at an engagement session! How rad is this:

Final shot of the day: the sun was just setting behind the trees as we finished up and I had to snap a quick one of the beautiful light with tons of ducks flying around. Siiigh, I love days like this.
