{ nathan + karly are engaged! }

Karly and Nathan win the award for most easy going. When I suggested shooting at a park that I described as ghetto, they said sure. And when I asked Karly to hike down into a rock bed in heels, she said ok. Throughout the shoot they just laughed and had fun with each other... they really make a great pair.

Oh, and did I mention she's my friend's little sis and that I randomly ran into them in Vegas? That really could've come up to bite me, but they saw past my buzzed banter and scheduled a more formal wedding consultation back in California (whew!).

But wait, there's more! Their reception just happens to be at the same place I got married... and the big day is just a week after my 5 year anniversary :-) I can't wait to go back and take their wedding photos! Keep an eye out in October...

I just told them where to stand here... they naturally did the rest.

Hot...

They just look at each other and start laughing... which is pretty much my favorite :-)

And here's my favorite of the day:

I luuuuuuuuuved these trees!

{ eddie + vanesa are engaged! }

When I met Eddie and Vanesa two a few weeks ago for their wedding consultation I was secretly crossing my fingers under the table, hoping they would hire me. They were so easy-going and sweet, and I really liked them instantly. I could just tell they made a good team, ya know?

They also got extra points for being awesome because they have the best gift registry items ever! Eddie got ahold of the registry gun at Target and scanned a Nerf gun, video games, a stereo system... and not to leave Vanesa out, he found a Barbie with dark hair and a purple dress to match Vanesa and the wedding. He told me Vanesa had never had a barbie before and that she needed one. How cute is that?

PS. Guess what I got them for an early wedding gift. Yup, the Nerf gun and the Barbie! The checker at Target gave me the oddest look when I asked her to take those items off the registry, "These toys are on the registry? Is it birthday party? A wedding?! Oh."

Anyway, here are some of my favorites from the day. They were troopers trespassing with me, changing into and out of heels every 2 minutes, and looking hot in her dress even though it was freezing outside (Vanesa, not Eddie, haha).

My favorite from the day!

All the flowers were so fun to play with :-)

Vanesa, you're gorgeous!

The sun would NOT come out and play... but the cloudy sky is actually pretty cool.

Yay laughing!

Nice job on the ring, Eddie!
