I’ve known Jedidiah (or Jedi as I call him) for a couple years now.  I first met him when I did some fashion photos for a local boutique and he was one of the models.  I absolutely enjoyed getting to know and working with him. I know, ladies – he’s super cute…but behind those good looks is a soulful, shy, sweet and spiritual guy.  I was beyond thrilled when he and his gorgeous fiance Barbara approached me to take their engagement photos.  They met on a modeling gig and have been inseparable since.  Barbara is the kind of gal I feel like I’ve known forever.  We have so much in common, including our love of vintage and Anthropologie.  I love keeping up with her cute wedding blog as she counts down the days to her nuptials.  Check out this super sweet post she wrote about our time together.

I love Barbara’s carefree spirit and how she wanted to use some fun props. We shot in several locations which included a stop for Italian gelato – one of their favorite things.  When I found out Jedi had a motorcycle that he adores, I wanted to do something with that too.  Barbara and Jedi, I can’t thank you enough for the opportunity (and for introducing me to Paciugo.)  Having switched from wedding photography to kids, I can truly say that you two make me want to reconsider!  Almost..    Can’t wait for your beautiful wedding day and hopefully getting to know you two even more!  You are a beautiful couple inside and out that I’m so blessed to know!

Here are my faves – there are way too many but seriously, look at them! I just wanted to photograph them all day!  Also, a special surprise for them….a slideshow to give you warm fuzzies.  Which is exactly what looking at them does for me.  Enjoy!

I used some off camera flash for these shots – not my typical “style” but I love the effect and how “glossy/sexy” these are!And again, the full slide show can be viewed here.
