Eva & Dave

Dave & Eva...so obviously, hopelessly taken by eachother that it awakens the hopeless romantic in me! They were hooked up by friends of theirs, and there was an instant connection. I asked Eva when she knew Dave was the one for her, and without hesitation, she and Dave simultaneously said "we knew". As in, right from the beginning. The best way I can describe their relationship is "timeless". I could tell in the little things Dave did for Eva that he is so completely captivated by her. He always put her first, went out of his way to make her feel comfortable, and through the lens, I caught tons of loving gazes that he threw her way. He watches her like he's mesmerized by her every feature. In contrast, you would expect Eva's independent, confident personality to dominate the relationship. Instead, she lets Dave's love and protection surround her, enabling him to be every bit of man every woman should have. Dave, Eva, it was a pleasure getting to know you both. Watching the two of you interact was such a blessing to my often stifled hopeless romantic heart. I'm confident your relationship will stand the test of time!

You are so beautiful, Eva.
Dave finally gets focal time. :)
I love the way he just gazes at her...this is one of many.


Ok, what photographer can pass up a boat?
They're naturals for the camera aren't they?






Gorgeous, you two!
I love, love, LOVE this. I keep coming back for more.


I keep coming back to this one too. I'm not sure what it is about it.
When I asked Eva to take a running start and jump onto Dave's back...
...the gymnast in her was thrilled. And oh did she run!
Dave...not as thrilled.
Eva's antique engagement ring- timelessly fascinating.

Doesn't matter how overcast the skies are- sunsets are always beautiful!
Trying out a little low-light.
A reflection of Eva's tender spirit and mysterious aura.
The shoot started off a little awkward- like most do- but by the end, they were open to possibility. They were laughing so hard at the absurdity of the situation that I had to force them to make serious faces.
A pavilion blaring "cupid shuffle" to the left, and 5/6 teens to the left, but they still kept their cool!

Deva, you guys made me proud!

Adria & Jim's Engagement Session






























Every time I shoot I'm reminded how much I love my job, and how blessed I am that people trust me to interpret and translate their personalities and their love for each other into a piece of art. I love getting to know my couples and their style...it broadens my horizons as an artist, and they enrich my life, in general. The plan for Jim and Adria was to capture a few frames and then walk to the Art Museum, where we would hopefully capture a few more. The traffic in the city was crazy that day, and the sunshine high in the clear sky, so we figured we might as well take advantage of the day! The walk provided us with more photo opps than driving from A to B ever could have. We had a great day diverting from their comfort zones a bit and just letting loose. Jim and Adria were great! Very much in love...naturals in front of the camera. The wedding is in August 2010 so family, friends, I hope this holds you over until then!
