Here are images from an engagement session for Jen and Mike!
Jen and Mike are getting married this Spring in Illinois, but wanted engagement session photos while they were here in Phoenix. Becky and I met up with them right after New Years on what felt like one of the coldest days we have ever had here in the valley. I have done engagement sessions in 112 degree weather, but never in weather as cold as it was that day.
While we were driving up Central Avenue in Phoenix to go from one location to another, I saw a wall spray painted with the words I Love You. Perfect for photos for the two of them!
I had read on Jen's facebook that she was using paper cranes for her wedding and so I thought it would be fun to use them in her photographs. My idea was for Jen and Mike to be sitting on a grassy hill and throw the cranes up while we took photos. And what I especially wanted was for the sun to be shining and to use my reflector to reflect light back at them while they were throwing the cranes. I love visualizing ideas for engagement sessions and I was really looking forward to creating this idea. But! But while the day had started out sunny, it had gotten so cloudy and I really didn't think the sun would be coming out at all for the rest of the day. And then suddenly the sun did come out, and we all kind of ran up the grassy hill and I got to work on the idea I had my heart set on.
Thank you Jen and Mike for having us create engagement photos for you! And best wishes on getting ready for your wedding this April! I really want to see photos from your wedding!
