Engagements

Larissa & Craig

The first engagement shoot in a triple threat weekend with Ashley in the Bay Area and how stoked were we when we met Larissa & Craig. If you were going to make Awesome Soup, you'd have to put in some Sweet, some Hilarious, a handful of Laughter, a sprinkle of Dumb Jokes, a wallop of Sickly Adorable, and Napa Valley. I know, that's cheesey, but if we added Cheese, the Awesome Soup would be unbearable.

Jenny & Dave

Sometimes people run into hard luck. Other times, people run into friends who have a house boat and who happen to be leaving for a few years and wanting you to house-sit for them. People like that are named Jenny and Dave and if anyone deserved that lucky break, it's them. They are sweet, kind, fun, and patient. It's pretty easy to photograph a couple in love on a houseboat on Lake Union in Seattle with SUN SHINING ON US, so we fought Seattle traffic over to the Seattle Zoo where Jenny and Dave still kept smiling and being in love. Then Ashley and I made them stand out on their cold porch as night crept in but they still were happy. Ridiculous. Still waiting for a frowny-pants engagement session. Any takers?

Emily & Brett

Emily & Brett live in Portland. They were traveling through San Francisco. Ashley & I were in San Francisco. We took pictures of Emily & Brett IN San Francisco. My mind hurts! Photo tip of the week: If needing a bathroom to change, and you are the subject of a photo shoot, grab a beer so that you can have permission to use the restaurant's bathroom. It will loosen you up, taste delicious, and hey, a bathroom!
