CATEGORIES: ENGAGEMENTS

SARAH & PHILIP / ENGAGED.

It all starts with an email.
Which then leads to a meeting over pastries and hot cocoa.
The connection is either there, or it’s not…it’s that simple.

The connection I have with my couples is the most important thing. I’ve been having some awesome, inspiring talks with some of my photography friends and we all seem to be on the same page when it comes to this topic. Photography is something that is an every day part of my life…and I love that. It’s what drives me, it’s what inspires me, it’s what motivates me to push myself creatively. When the connection is present, there is an energy that is undeniable.

I immediately had this connection with Sarah when we met for coffee and I knew their session would be so much fun. And it was. They were such troopers getting on that row boat and paddling to all the perfect spots where I wanted to shoot them. I can’t wait for their wedding day coming up in June!

Enjoy.

Hi Tonhya! Just another friendly blog stalker here=). While I always admire your photos, I just had to say how much I LOVE this shoot! Simply stunning! Your creative framing and ability to capture the love and connection between couples is truly outstanding!!! I am also curious which tilt shift lens you use? =)
Thanks!

I think this might be my favorite of all the ones I’ve seen. Love the blossoms and the boat…and the two ducks who posed perfectly! Well done!
