Engagements: Rob & Mary

I first met Rob and Mary a couple of months ago for the first time at a Cafe in SOMA. I remember leaving that cafe and having a huge smile on my face because I could really feel their excitement. About their wedding, about meeting with me, about each other. I LOVED IT! I secretly wished that they'd book me, and I'm so lucky because they did!

Fast forward to the first weekend of April, we spent the afternoon in San Francisco taking shot after engagement shot. Laughing, telling stories, and me saying, "Rob, look over here." ;) I was nervous because it had been raining the days before their shoot, but because they're awesome...the sun was out and about that Saturday afternoon :)

Rob and Mary, there is something about the two of you that I really love. Maybe its the quiet love, or how relaxed and chill the two of you are. Maybe it's that Rob looks all around during photos, or maybe it's Mary saying "Rob, we're taking pictures" (hahahah) Whatever it is, I think you two are wonderful. So here they are, the photos we spent taking around the city. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Xoxo

Below are some of my favorites
Enjoy!

Rob and Mary practice smizing at home. Can't you tell? Ok they don't, I'm just jealous that they're so good at it ;)




Thank you Rob for looking at me and not at the abandoned backpack
Always admiring his love

Brunch with Stephanie and Stephen

So I don't know how I got so lucky, but on my birthday Chris and I had brunch with the incredibly talented Stephanie Fay, and her husband Stephen Motte. Stephanie is an amazing wedding photographer from Arizona, and her awesome husband Stephen shoots along side her. Together, they make one incredible duo :) I'm a big fan!
When she announced that she and Stephen were going to be in San Francisco, I was excited. I sat at the computer and I wanted to email her and ask if I could take them out to lunch. Then I got nervous. But then I got excited again and finally emailed her. I don't even remember what I said, but I'm glad it was awesome enough that they said yes.
So there we were, on my birthday having brunch like we were old friends. And I was happy, because I love it when photographers take the time to get to know their peers. To sit down and enjoy each other's company. Not necessarily even talk about photography, but just hang out. Over eggs and coffee we shared stories about how she and Stephen met, how Chris and I met. Their wedding, our wedding plans, our wedding photographer, San Francisco, Scottsdale, etc. We for sure talked photography towards the end and it was definitely fun to share stories with each other :) But Chris and I just enjoyed getting to know them both. Because let's face it...they rock.
Stephanie and Stephen,
Chris and I had so much fun with the two of you. When Chris really likes someone, he always says "good people" and that is exactly what he said when we parted ways. Because that's just it, you two are good people. Awesome people. Sweet people. Whatever you want to call it ;) We are happy that you took the time to meet with us during your trip, and even happier that we had the chance to sit down and eat yummy brunch with you. Even more points for going to Miette and eating cupcakes. But fa real, you two are the sweetest and we are grateful to know you both. Continue to be inspiring and continue taking those amazingly beautiful photographs. We'll definitely have to head down to Scottsdale and visit soon, and maybe make dreams come to life in Tuscon :) Xoxo
