First Comes Love

We’re back!  Puerto Vallarta was great, but we missed our little guy too much and ended up coming home a day early.  I’ve been spending lots of quality time with Brayden to make up for being gone.  The poor little guy is sick now

Anyways, enough about me.  The day before Vince and Krista’s wedding we did a quick engagement shoot.  I had actually never met them before even though Krista and I are from the same hometown and went to the same junior high (she’s a year younger than me)!  Krista and Vince live in Utah so we did all of our correspondence by email and phone.  It was so great to finally meet them!  We had  lot of fun wandering the streets of Puerto (my parents hate when I call Puerto Vallarta Puerto so I will keep calling it that to annoy them!).  The cobblestone streets in Puerto are so pretty even if they did give me shin splints.  

Here are a few shots from the engagement session.  Check back in a few days for their wedding pictures!

I got an email from Heidi about a week before her shoot saying that she was a little nervous about making Chris feel comfortable in front of the camera.  At our initial consultation he had said he didn’t like his smile when he smiled for the camera, but I remember having a lot of fun talking to them both.  I didn’t think he would have a problem, but I told her I would memorize some jokes to get him laughing.  Well, I went online to look for some jokes and they were all so dirty!  I would have been too embarrassed to say them!  However, Chris had no problem getting comfortable in front of the camera.  In fact, after a few minutes he was directing the shoot!  Telling me where to go and he even created a new pose that I’m going to call “The Chris”.  And he should be comfortable in front of the camera.  He’s a big time model in South America.  I even have proof.  Heidi emailed me over a few pictures from Chris’ modeling days, but I will be nice and not post them on the internet for everyone to see

Heidi and Chris met years ago and dated for a couple of months.  They eventually lost touch and met again at the Cannery restaurant in Newport Beach, which is where we did their shoot.  The second time was the charm and they are now getting married in February up in Beverly Hills.  I just know that their wedding is going to be a blast!  I can’t wait!

Heidi and Chris thanks for being so much fun and for teaching me a thing or two  Below are my favorites and here is the slideshow!
