Amber and John: Houston Engagement Session

Posted on April 26, 2010

As we slowly drove down the long driveway leading to Amber’s grandparents place in Plantersville, our jaws quite literally dropped open. The acreage was covered in wildflowers, ponds, and fields; it was full of rustic charm. We had an incredibly HARD time narrowing down locations for the shoot,  every new corner we turned revealed something else photo-worthy. Amber and John were amazingly patient and relaxed as we walked from one end of the property to the other, until well after dark. Amber and John’s easy going manner  has seemed to spill right over into their wedding plans. When asked about their wedding they showed not a hint of stress or  frustration. Instead, they seem excited and eager as they look forward to celebrating their union with friends and family. Period. No drama. No fuss.

I love having Dustin shoot with me, especially now that he is coming up with fun and creative ideas for images. He set up the image below and I love the way it turned out.

I love the original Star Wars and wanted to do a image reflecting the movie poster because, well, because I am a total geek.  But also, when I mentioned it they humored me and agreed to the pose. Later, after seeing the image on my computer screen, it struck me as somehow wrong. I googled the original poster, which you can see here. Close, but not what I was picturing (although, I wonder if I can get them to do that for their wedding photos). After a little thought I had the sneaking suspicion that the poster I was thinking of was actually from the 1992 cult classic Army of Darkness. Oops. Umm, my bad.

Amber and John, thank you so much for spending so much time with us. We enjoyed every minute of it and are SO excited to have the privilege of photographing your wedding this September!

Worn Out and Inspired

I am home and recovering from my whirlwind trip to LA to attend the Jasmine Star workshop. I will post about it soon, in the meantime I want to let everyone know I will be working like a mad women on your pictures over the next week.

In honor of Jasmine, who has a fur-ball of her own who she is quite smitten with, here is a teaser from Amber and John’s engagement session in Plantersville…
