Lovely Engagement Shoot in the Joshua Trees

 When you get to go back to the Joshua Tree's for an engagement shoot, WIN!  This lovely couple from Boston, Christina and Tyler were here in Arizona for the very first time on vacation and decided it would be good place to have their engagement pictures done.  Christina contacted me through the knot wanting information on engagement pictures and locations.  I emailed her some links of some of my favorite spots in AZ and Joshua Trees won.  Of course it would, they offer such a unique feel.  On the day of the shoot Christina mentioned that her and Tyler rented a convertible and thought it would be fun to incorporate the car in some of the pictures.  This photo shoot got a little more exciting, I LOVE my job.  I felt honored to share such a beautiful part of my state with Christina and Tyler along with being the one to photograph their engagement pictures.  Honesty this couple is so beautiful you might think this was a modeling shoot for a magazine. 
 I asked Christina if she could share their story with me in her words:
I had just graduated law school in May 2016 and decided to take a girls trip to Montreal to celebrate. Tyler was there the same weekend, visiting Montreal for a bachelor party. We met on the first night of both of our trips and were practically inseparable for the entire weekend. His friends kept teasing him for “falling in love at a bachelor party”. After the trip ended, we kept in touch over the next couple of months while I was studying for the bar exam. The texting turned into daily phone calls, sometimes lasting for hours and we knew this was a different kind of connection that we both wanted to see through. After my exam, we made plans to meet up in Toronto, and from that point on our long distance relationship started, and we were traveling every weekend between NYC, where I was living, and London ON, where Tyler was living, to see each other. After about 8 months of long distance, Tyler moved to NYC and transferred to his company’s NYC office to be with me. We spent the year in NYC before getting engaged, in May 2018, and moved together to Boston to be closer to my family shortly thereafter. We were happy to end the long distance but realized we both love to travel. Now we make a point to travel together whenever we can, and Phoenix was our most recent destination!

Ahh Stella

Image
When you get an email from the sister of a past pride asking if you could take pictures of her 6 month old baby girl, you say sure! When she ask you if you can meet at her sister-in-laws house to take the picture because she has a "fun house" you reply yes. Then you show up and see this beautiful baby girl and this incredibly decorated shabby chic house, you burst with excitement inside.. That is just what happened. Elaine emailed me to see if I could take pictures of Stella and asked if we could meet at her sister-in-laws house. Well, you can see for yourself that Stella is beautiful and the house was a photographer's dream. Elaine had all her own idea's for Miss Stella. We had so much fun and Stella was a trooper to say the least. I loved how Stella would smile at her mommy over and over again. She is truly a happy baby. This shoot inspired me to convert some of my office into a studio. I called my friend Nancy after the shoot and was blabbing away on how much fun

~George and Catherine~

I met Catherine just about a month before her wedding and truly liked her instantly. When we met she came alone and was so calm about her wedding and what she was looking for. I was pleased she booked me and looked forward to working with her and meeting George. When I got to Catherine's house she was again very calm and taking her time getting ready. That is when I met George for the first time, he to was very calm taking his time getting ready. The wedding was very simple, two people in love getting married. Once the I do's were said the rest of the afternoon looked like the next few images. Giddy, smile's, more smiles of joy. I loved watching them and would get caught up in the moment. Had to remind myself to take pictures:-) Catherine looked so beautiful, very classy and George so handsome, movie star couple status I would say. Again, more smiles, giggles and glances. It was so special to watch, I mean to take pictures of.;-) To look over the pictures one would not noti
