Can't believe how fast two years flies by! These two booked me over two years ago and I remember discussing with them at the consultation about how although it was two years, it would be here in no time. And boy did that happen, but their wedding was everything they hoped for and more!
Malia and Justin are so cute together! When meeting Malia I could tell that she was one who truly loves photography and the ability to capture the love that the two of them share together! During the session I was able to do just that! The two of them were naturals and I could really see the love they had for each other shining through the entire session! Plus on top of that they are just really fun to hang out with and we had a blast together! I can't wait to photograph their wedding this June and know it will be an amazing day!
Over the past few years I have made it a point in my business to work to learn and grow throughout the year. One of the things I have done the past three years in the winter (which is usually my slower season for weddings) is taking a photography workshop. Last year I took one that helped teach me a lot about off camera lighting and the basics of using the flash to light a wedding. This work shop took it up a notch and taught us how to use off camera lighting in every time of the day. We went outside mid-day and overpowered the sun (I didn't take pictures of this I was observing this portion), then we broke out into groups and tried different types of lighting. It is always a great experience to learn from such talented photographers and find out ways to improve my photography no matter what time of day or kind of light there is!
Here are just a couple examples of the different lighting scenarios we set up to test our skills in being able to use the flash and come up with some amazing photos.
Being the animal lover that I am I was so excited when I found out Meagen and Bryan met through their mutual love for horses. Meagen had just started training her horse and hired Bryan to help her and the rest is history from there. I was also excited to find out they wanted to incorporate both their horses into their engagement session. The two of them are so cute together, both their dog and their horses were well behaved during the session and I can’t wait to share in their special day at The Dairy Barn in June!
I cannot believe my bestest, best friend in the whole wide world is getting married!! It seems like just yesterday we were meeting for the first time in the 8th grade and have been inseparable ever since. That is until I moved across the country to South Carolina while Sarah was still in California. But distance makes the heart grow fonder and Sarah and I have the kind of friendship where when we see each other it’s as if it was yesterday, even though it may have been a year. That is one of the things that I absolutely love about her. So when she first introduced me to Todd I felt that same way with him and every time since. So it was just natural when they came out here to see me and have their engagement session in the sunflowers… and you can tell that in their pictures! I am so honored to be able to be in Sarah’s wedding in California in October and I honestly can’t wait to see how beautiful my best friend is as a bride!!!
