Stuart and Rachel Engagement Session
Posted on May 15, 2011
I always get a little nervous shooting late in the morning. Late in Arizona spring is anyime after 8 AM. This was one of those shoots where the bright sun just worked out perfectly. I often encourage my couples to shoot their engagemnt sessions late in the day for that magic light. Time and scheduling would not allow that so we planned a Sunday morning shoot. Rachel did her makeup trial with (who else, but my fave…) Linda Wagner and so she showed up looking beautiful. We started in the lobby of this stunning venue, the Montelucia in Scottsdale. The inside shots were not working…that or my creative juices were just not a flowing inside. So, outside we went.
I had already made a walk around the property before they arrived so I knew exactly what I wanted to shoot. Being it was bright and getting brighter by the minute it needed to go fast without sacraficing the “romantic” feel of the shoot. I shot so much in a short amount of time and was super pleased at the end of it. These two are so much fun and I can not wait for their wedding this November. They got the one and only 11-11-11 slot this year!
Here is the wonderfully in love, Stuart and Rachel.

I had to pleasure of shooting Jessica’s boudoir album at the end of last year. A present for her then boyfriend Michael. Well since that time (and possibly because of such hottie pictures that came out of it) they are engaged to be married in November of next year. They will be traveling back to Nebraska to get married. Fun… Nebraska in November but alas it is the only time Pro-Baseball gives this Outfielder any time off. She did have to squeeze it between the Huskers being in town. I guess you don’t try to travel to Lincoln, Nebraska for a wedding when the Huskers are playing.
It was a wonderful session. They laughed so much, at each other. It’s not hard to get a great picture of these two. There should be a law against that much “attractive” in one couple. Here is Jessica and Michael…
