Whitney and Rick knew of each other since high school but Whitney was just the young, cute girlfriend of one of Rick's friends brother. (Following me so far?) Apparently Rick used to picture them being a couple back then but never said anything. They reconnected recently and have been inseparable since.
I almost cried when Whitney's mom Maria called me because I have known Whitney since she was around seven years old. (Maria is a hair/makeup artist that I have worked with on shoots for about 18 or so years. I photographed her wedding too! Brides, you should definitely call her for your weddings!) I'm so thrilled I've been able to watch Whitney grow into this gorgeous woman. It really is a gift to me to be able to photograph her marriage to Rick and share in this special day with her and her family.
When they told me they had a theme for their engagement session, I couldn't wait for the shoot! Although I don't think all e-sessions need to have a theme, when they do it's like shooting an editorial spread and is simply a blast. Pulling together an idea with clothes, makeup, props and location is not only fun for me, though, it makes my clients feel like models for the day. I cannot wait for their May wedding...
Gorgeous photos! I love the retro look and they really pulled it off well.
