Ashley & Keillor {Chandler Engagement}

Saturday I had the chance to photography Ashley & Keillor for their engagement photos. Ashley was a referral from a friend who's name is also Ashley. I think I am starting to really like Ashleys, haha.

Ashley and Keillor were great and we had a lot of fun in down town Chandler. Ashley had so many great ideas and fun props that she brought along. I love it when couples choose to bring things to the session that represent them and their relationship. I really feel like it makes the day of shooting and the photos that much more special for them. I just felt bad because we didn't have enough time to use them all!

Loved her plaid shoes!

I had her bring these white vans even though she wasn't wearing them in the photos because there was a special story behind them. Ashley had always talked about wearing a pair of white vans on her wedding day. One night they were out to dinner with friends and family for Ashley's birthday and Keillor's present was saved for last. She unwrapped it to find a box of white vans, and after he insisted she put them on, she opened them to find a shiny new piece of jewelry tied in the laces. :)

Keillor knows what he's doing when it comes to dipping!

Thanks Ashley and Keillor for letting me photograph your love. Can't wait for your wedding in March!

Meagan & Jesse {Los Angeles Wedding}

Jesse is a friend of my husband's from the mission. When Jesse and Meagan got engaged and contacted me about shooting their wedding in LA I was pretty excited. I was excited to go back to LA (and its beautiful weather) where I had visited my husband a lot over the summer while he was interning in Beverly Hills and I was also was very excited to work with such a good looking couple. ;)

Meagan and Jesse had a beautiful ceremony in the Los Angeles California Temple. It is private and sacred and photography is not allowed. But I was able to capture them exiting the temple after being married and then do some Bride and Groom shots around the temple.

Other than it threatening to rain on us throughout the session it went great! I loved working with them. I told Jesse that I wish every groom was as relaxed and comfortable as he was. Most girls love having their picture taken but guys, not so much. Jesse was so relaxed and just happy to be hitched to his beautiful (emphasis on the beautiful) bride; it made for some fun images!

Loved that they wore converse just like my husband and I did on our wedding day!

Have to say I LOVED her rings. Very much my style.

Thanks again Meagan and Jesse!
