Kaitlyn + Eric : Engagement

June 29, 2011 by Jensey 5 Comments

Kaitlyn and Eric were our first-ever sunrise engagement shoot on the beach. Crazy! I loved the pinky-purply natural light, how empty Cocoa Beach was, and Kaitlyn and Eric totally made waking up at 5:30am worth it. :)

When we work with a blank canvas location like the beach, we really depend on our clients. I mean, we can set up poses, of course, but sessions like this thrive on naturally playful couples. We struck gold with Kaitlyn and Eric’s session. I started the shoot just saying, “We’d love if you guys could play around in the water,” and Nate quickly captured my favorite photo of the day. :)

This light!!! Morning sessions may be my new favorite. :)

I love natural face-snugglers. :)

Gotta love early morning metal detectors…

They were so fun to shoot and reminded me of a modern-day Kelly Kapowski and Slater. ;)

Kaitlyn and Eric, thank you for making the session a breeze! Can’t wait til the big day. :)

Nicci + Justin : Engagement

I first met Nicci ages ago when Nate and I were dating; they’d been friends for years. Nicci’s family even sold Nate his first car! :) When Nicci and Justin asked us to shoot their engagement photos, I was so excited, especially when they asked to do it in Nashville. As luck would have it, I came down with the worst flu ever and actually had to sit this one out. Lucky for us, our “office elf” was able to step in and save the day. Nate wasn’t feeling too hot, either, so I’m so thankful Lorie was able to help him out while I nearly died on our living room couch. :)

Nicci and Justin, thank you for being so sweet to Nate and I promise I’ll be there for the big day! :)

Catalina + Ryan : Preview

You may remember Catalina and Ryan’s mini engagement session a few months back that included their adorable fur-kids. Nate and I shot their “official” engagement photos this week while hanging out in Mount Dora. :)

My favorite- I told Cata she could easily pass as Penelope Cruz’s younger sister!

Cata’s a natural “foot popper,” aka, a girl after my own heart! <3

Catalina and Ryan, we love y’all! More to come soon. :)
