a few weeks ago one of our sweet clients, amy, introduced us to the beautiful neighborhood park where she got engaged. we spent some time with her shooting some bridal portraits there and couldn’t wait to return with an adventurous couple! that couple was, undoubtedly, ashton & michael. matt & i arrived early to scope out the location some more and when it was time to meet up with ashton & michael we found them happily chatting on the swings in the playground. we caught up for a while and heard about what an incredible week it had been for them- so many good things are going on in their lives! as we talked, we took a few playground pics, just for fun, and then climbed down into the river. we really love it when clients are relaxed and happy and also trusting of our vision because we are really able to stretch ourselves and try new things. so, HUGE thanks to ashton & michael for being awesome and having fun together no matter what precarious rock we had you perched upon! ;)
we found a small area of densely packed, bare, skinny trees and we kiiiinda got stuck there we liked it so much! and i kiiiinda want to go back here to take our christmas card photo…
i love this next series, such a perfect capture of the fun and love ashton & michael share:
as ashton & michael’s shoot drew to a close, we found ourselves in a dusky blue light. the warm tones of the leaves looked so beautiful in the cool light that we decided to end the shoot with a few reclining images to capture the environment and the serene, calm feeling of the almost empty park. i love these:
ashton & michael, thank you guys for trusting us every step of the way! we really loved our afternoon with you and we cannot wait for your beautiful spring wedding!
this is a great shoot, y’all! what beautiful photos, and i love that the location worked so well for this! thanks for the shout-out, too ;)
