hollee & john are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 5 Comments

hollee and john were just finishing up their meal in the virginia highlands when we showed up to photograph their engagement shoot. it was perfect timing since we wanted to start the shoot at the restaurant where they’d just paid their bill! everybody’s pizza is a favorite spot of theirs; one of their first date’s happened there and they’ve been hooked ever since! we could tell immediately that they were a very athletic couple and they proved it with some serious climbing and balancing skills! Check out a few of our favorite shots below:

this mirror was just leaning against the outside of a shop, it’s as if they knew we’d be coming along looking for interesting shots!

this is where the athleticism came into play, the ledge they are standing on oh so casually is really shallow and about shoulder height off the ground!

a closed restaurant let us sneak in for some shots, i loved the windows…

look at these beautiful people!

so sweet, these two are so playful!

thanks hollee and john for a great shoot, you should know that after the shoot we went and ate at everybody’s in your honor! :)

side note: how do you like the blog and website face lifts!? we’re pretty excited about them, i think they show more personality…whether that is good or bad?! ;) the new photos of us here on the blog are thanks to our awesome friend kate. check her out!

you’re not alone. we’re thinking the same thing. why in the world am i blogging a slideshow on a friday night?!! at the risk of sounding fabulously lame, it’s been an intense week of editing and matt and i are just excited to relax and finish up work from last weekend before we dive headfirst into more shoots starting tomorrow! i promise we’re usually out with friends, i promise we have friends, and i promise that you would even like them! without further ado (excuses;)), here is matt and laura’s amazing slideshow, i really loved this shoot, check them out!

anna and jason, welcome to the gallery! check it out!!

today, there are two things i’d like to tell you about matt: 1.he’s creative. 2.he’s competitive. these things coexist beautifully in our world and it means that we’re rarely bored- standing in line turns into a ridiculous game full of twists and laughter, to-do lists transform into impressive spreadsheets, even photography cannot scoot by without a touch of creative competition!

is it friendly?

yes.

but it’s also competition, baby!

throughout the week, matt reads articles on classic photography and new techniques while i browse fine art and fashion photography. we bring to our friendly competition two different backgrounds but a shared purpose, to capture the unique personalities of our clients. when we come home from a shoot and view the images for the first time yes, we’re proud of our own images. more than that, though, a mutual admiration strengthens as we begin to take in each other’s photographs, spot new techniques, and realize that without each other we’re not the complete package. we come as a team because that’s just how we work. like i said, it’s competition, but it’s friendly!

enough of the friendly for a second; we’re shooting this weekend and i cannot even wait to see what happens! …did i mention i’m a teensy bit competitive too? :)
