K&S engagement

It feels like just yesterday Sylvie and I were working the same high school summer job at the local market garden but now she’s all grown up and has gotten herself engaged!! WOOHOO!

These two are so laid back they made my job easy, breezy, beautiful. We had a beautiful evening -minus the mosquitos- out in the countryside that just consisted of Kenton and Sylvie making each other laugh and me capturing those moments. I don’t know anything about marriage but I think if these two keep making each other laugh as much as they did while I was photographing them, they’ll be looking at a long and happy marriage.

Thanks for choosing me to capture this special and important moment in your lives. All the best to you two cuties. ❤

Oh and also, how cool is this, instead of a ring Kenton got Sylvie an espresso machine! Love the uniqueness and the personality in this engagement gift!! Smart move for Kenton, I mean what girl would say no to an espresso machine!

Okay, so this day was amazing! Not only was the weather and location on point but the model was oh soo gorgeous and she couldn’t stop smiling! Like literally; we tried to do some serious poses and it just made her laugh and smile even bigger!

Hailey, your smile can brighten up an entire room; you are such an amazing and kind hearted girl. I wish you all the best in your future and know you have amazing friends and family cheering you on all the way!

This post wouldn’t be complete without the crown vic photos…After all the formal photos were said and done, this wild bunch suggested they climb on top of the crown vic for a couple pictures. I wasn’t the only one taking photos, even some passersby were taking snapchat photos. I just hope they got my good side and used a flattering filter on us before they posted it to their story!

D&L engagement

Over the past year it has been so awesome being roomies with Laura. Although her engagement to Damen means I must say goodbye to the luxury living at the condo -rip rooftop hot tub- I can 100% say I am beyond ecstatic for Damen and Laura!!

Naturally I was very excited that Laura asked me to do their engagement photos, and they made my job easy breezy, being so cute and natural together. It was so lovely to photograph this dreamy couple.

It has been so awesome getting to know Damen and Laura better and see first hand what an awesome team they make, being able to put together a wedding in two months is testament to that alone! You guys are such a sweet couple and I so look forward to sharing the same city as you two!

The boys had been saving up for this little adventure! Nothing like going to sleep to the sound of the ocean.
Heading over to Las Animas via water taxi. Apologies for the Pinterest moment.

Sweat Body Lounge – Las Vegas

Once I had confirmed our trip to Las Vegas I immediately knew I had to reach out to Bre. Bre is the owner of Breanna Megan Studio, an interior designer and licensed artist based out of Las Vegas. We had met the last time we were in town and had photographed her and her new art collection in the desert. It was an exciting experience that we will never forget! If you missed it, click here. Jenelle of Beauti Photography and I couldn’t wait to work with her again.

This time when I called she had just finished a new project designing a hot yoga studio from the ground up! This was a first for her and WOW! The Sweat Body Lounge is a glam space! Congrats Bre and owner Madeline for creating the HOTTEST place in town:)
