Jaiden + Beau • Kelly Canyon

I had been looking forward to shooting Jaiden and Beau for awhile, especially with how awesome their first engagement session was. You can view it here. So when Sunday came around and the forecast predicted rain for the whole afternoon, I was pretty bummed. Jaiden mentioned trying a few hours early to miss some of the rain so that's what we attempted. 

When we got up to Kelly's we shot for about ten minutes before in started to completely pour. I asked Jaiden and Beau if they'd be alright waiting it out for a few minutes which ended up being more like 30 minutes. But I'm so glad we did! Once the rain stopped we had a nice overcast afternoon. 

I asked Beau during the session if he wanted a couple shots with his truck and his face instantly lit up! I was so happy to get some images that Beau was stoked about. And Jaiden had mentioned she really wanted fall colors which we sort of had. But right as we finished up we spotted an area where all the leaves were bright yellow! Me and Jaiden about died when we saw it! So we ended up shooting there for a couple more minutes. 

Then we headed back out from Kelly's in our separate cars. Right as I passed Heise Pizza and went over the hill, you could see a view of all the colors and the deep blue sky. Luckily Beau and Jaiden spotted me pulled over and stopped as well and we had another 5 minute session there as well! It was so gorgeous!

I'm so thankful for these two. And I am so stoked for their July Wedding in Island Park! Enjoy just a few of my favorites from their Fall Engagement session.

Kamlyn + Cole • Adventure Session

I was talking to Darcy of Ruby Plum Photo about what we want to do when I come to Colorado in October. She mentioned so many awesome ideas that got me really excited to visit. At the end of our conversation she said we would need to follow up with each other with answers to a couple different questions. One of which was, "What would I love to photograph?" The moment she asked me that, I thought back to this shoot I did a little over a week ago. 

I had this amazing vision in my head since the moment I began to specialize in couples. I wanted mountains, waterfall, aspen trees, gorgeous couple madly in love, and a floral dress. The only thing we were missing that day that I thought I wanted was some pretty sun coming through the trees. But it turned out the gloomy, cloudy weather brought on a whole new mood for the shoot that I fell in love with! 

Kamlyn and Cole were PERFECTION for this session! Literally. Look at these two! They giggled when I asked, slowed danced with the music, and were more than happy to kiss. I could not have asked for a better couple to fulfill my vision for this shoot. Thank you again Kamlyn and Cole! 

Jacob also finished the video from that night and it will bring you all the feels. This waterfall is breath taking! I can't believe we were still in Idaho for it! Make sure to change the video quality to 1080p HD. 

Madi + Ethan • Ririe Engagements

I met with Madi and Ethan at the Cocoa Bean to discuss wedding plans. I knew these two would be sweethearts, but I didn't realize how much of sweethearts they'd be! They were so giddy and smiley during their session. In fact, we tried doing a couple serious faces and they could barely hold it together. 

This session was pretty special for a couple reasons. First for the love these two have. It was one of the easiest, and carefree sessions I've done because they just adore each other and weren't afraid to show it! Ethan would do whatever it took to get Madi to laugh which got me smiling behind the camera. 

 Secondly, they were so kind to have us try out new video equipment on their session. This meant my husband, Jacob, got to join us! Even though he ended up carry bags more than anything, it was so much fun chatting all four of us. You can see Madi and Ethan's Engagement video here.

I cannot wait for Madi and Ethan's October Wedding in Payson, Utah! For now, enjoy their engagements from Friday night!
