Tear

This caught my eye a few minutes ago as I’m trying to get things finished for my Africa show next week. I still haven’t looked at most of the pictures from my trip, but I am now in love with this one. And with him.

J&S the real deal-Puerto Vallarta

Yes, I know this is probably the largest post to date. This was also the longest engagement shoot to date and I also traveled the farthest (well, besides London, but I was already there). Are they hott or what?! Dang, just wait for the wedding!!



















We played the “what would you do if” game. Example: “What would you do if the wind suddenly blew J’s skirt up?”











I love you two!

J&S teaser

I’ve only uploaded about 1/4 of the pictures so far, but I really wanted to get a teaser post in as I have a busy week ahead of me and I don’t know when I’ll get through them all!

This is by far my favorite engagement shoot I’ve ever done. I’ve never had so much fun :). Love you both.

Note: These 3 were all taken with lenses I rented for the occasion, the first two with a tilt-shift (my new favorite thing ever) and the last with a fish-eye.



J&S proposal!!!

While in Mexico S had the brilliant idea to officially propose to J and I got to be in on the secret!!! Oh my, it was so much fun. We were supposed to do it Saturday night during a sunset beach shoot, but with rain, rivers flooding the beaches, private beaches, etc, we ended up taking several taxi’s, a bus, and walking in the rain a lot and eventually gave up and went to dinner at an amazing restaurant over looking the town. We did get some pretty cool sunset pics when the rain lightened up, but the beach was far too crowded and not that nice for a proposal.


J said we had her 100% convinced she’d be going home without a ring (yes, we did do TONS of engagement pics before he actually proposed). She’d been expecting a proposal on Saturday, so it was fun that we were able to throw her off. Sunday morning we got up at sunrise and went down to the beach. I was able to get her away from S for a few minutes (she said I should win an oscar for my acting abilities 🙂 ) and when he came back to get us I ran ahead of them so I could capture this:










It was perfect. She kept yelling into the ocean “I’m engaged!!!!” and she couldn’t stop smiling!


You can check out her whole story here. Read it, she’s a wonderful writer and it’s a great story!

To those who know the lucky couple, please remember to refrain from using ‘that groom’s’ name 🙂
