LaShanda & Deon

LaShanda & Deon contacted me in December about their February wedding… thankfully I was available for their wedding date and we quickly decided on a date for their engagement photos.

Their photo session was supposed to be outdoors, however as most of you know, Tacoma in January… um, yeah, total crap shoot! Thankfully the new studio was up and running and we were able to meet there and get some amazing images of the two of them.

Engagement sessions are always a part of my wedding packages because it allows us the opportunity to work together before the wedding day… get to know each other a little better. WELL… that definitely happened… more than I was expecting! Ü At one point I was trying to show LaShanda how I wanted her to pose and as I was standing up to move out of the way my leg just decided it didn’t want to do what I was asking of it. As I was beginning to fall to the floor my brave hero LaShanda scooped me up to make sure I didn’t. All was fine in the world and I hurried back to start photographing them again… I turned around, put the camera up to my eye and heard…uh, Angie… your shirt… and I looked down to see that my blouse was unbuttoned about ¾ of the way. HAHA… they got to know a little TOOO much about me! Thankfully I am not very shy and I was sporting a good supportive bra! I’m not too sure about the high school senior who was mentoring with me… I may have scarred him for life!

This one just makes me laugh every time I look at it. Lashanda telling Deon about how things were going to be once they were married! Ü

Congratulations you two! Your wedding was beautiful, I can't wait for you to see those images!

Briana & Jerrod are Engaged

Meet Bri and Jerrod. They are engaged and will be getting married this September.

I met the wonderful couple through Jerrod's parents Dennis and Gwen whom I know through the car club that I belong to. Dennis is a wonderful and witty man who you definitely want to know if you have the opportunity and Gwen is so sweet... her laugh just makes you smile any time you hear it. Thankfully the apple didn't fall far from the tree and their son Jerrod is also an absolute pleasure to be around.

Obviously the charm worked on Bri and still continues to do so! The two are so obviously happy and just being with them will make your day brighter!

Our session was on the 5th of July, the eve of summer finally arriving in the Pacific Northwest. The sun was shining and the weather couldn't have been more perfect to celebrate their love!

We met in downtown Sumner at the train station and took a few photographs there before realizing that  someone *removing name to protect the accused* had locked their keys in their car! Ü So after a quick detour to collect a second set of keys we continued on for more smiles and sunshine!

I absolutely love this connection between the two of them!

Ah summer in Washington... there is no other place I'd rather be than a nice warm Washington day. It makes the other 310 days of the year worth the wait! Ü

Thanks you guys for a wonderful evening. I can't wait to photograph your union and to share in such a special day with you.

Rodney & Marva Engagement session

I just realized as I was about to post photos from the wedding that I hadn't yet posted engagement photos of Rodney & Marva. Soooo... without further ado... here they are!

Marva didn't decide until late in the process that she was going to have a photographer for the wedding, so we got a late jump on the engagement session. Between all the planning and an unplanned trip to NY for Rodney, it took us a while to coordinate a date to meet.

On Friday July 3rd we met in the morning at Tumwater Falls Park . A mere 15 days before the wedding.

I am so glad we got together for this session. I learned that it takes bribery to get Rodney to smile... so I used that knowledge at the wedding! ;) I also was able to meet Marva's daughter and maid of honor Tiffany. She helped me prod the smiles out of these two. (Thanks Tiffany!) With so much going on in their lives, I was happy to provide an hour of the two of them focusing on each other and their love for one another.

Tonya & Kevin

I met Tonya & Kevin in University Place near the golf course and we had such a good time getting to know each other. These two are so photogenic and so much fun.

Their wedding was scheduled for this month but life got a little crazy and they decided to postpone the ceremony. I look forward to the day that they do get married. They had some really fun ideas for the big day.

I just adore these photos. I think they came out so great... and that they really show how in love these two are.

ahhhhhh... love... it's a beautiful thing!

Ashley and Brian are in Love!!!

Ashley, Brian and thier "baby" Duncan

LOVE IT!

Can't you just tell how much he loves her!

Are we boring you Duncan?

Ashley and Brian's engagement session was awesome! I just love how much fun they are! Totally my style... easy going and silly.

Brian is in the Army and was deployed at the end of May. He will return next May and then will be getting married to Ashley in July!

We snuck in this engagement session just before Brian left and we had so much fun! The weather threatened us and eventually ended our session, but it was time to be done anyhow.

They make such a cute couple! I really am so excited to photograph thier wedding!!! Seriously... we have to wait a whole year?!?! Ü
