When Sarah contacted me and told me the look she was trying to achieve for her photoshoot I was all for it. She reminds me a lot of my daughter Maya who is all about witchy stuff, horror movies, and Halloween. The black sparkly dress that I brought to the photo session is actually the same dress my daughter Maya wore for her graduation photos. The rest of the outfits are one’s that Sarah brought.
When the date for this engagement session was getting closer and closer we had to keep rescheduling because the rain was just out of control. When it was time to try again the weather was looking risky but Sarah really wanted to get her photos over and done with so we drove to Claremont loop and hoped for a non-rainy day. Luckily it didn’t rain until we were walking back to our cars once the photos were over, which was crazy good luck. The overcast sky was actually really nice considering the haunting and witchy theme Sarah was hoping for in these photos.
This was my first time taking photos at Claremont Loop. It was full of greenery, trees, and really cool trails that made for some truly gorgeous photos. Nick and Sarah wanted to take pictures with the car shown here because cars are a big passion of Nick’s. I love that you can see the hills in the background and the lush green trees all around. Sarah also had this really fun idea of a candle setup. We set up a whole bunch of candles and took some really creative photos with the. It went really well with the celestial black dress I had brought for Sarah.
After the dancing, dinner was served, and they went into speeches from Alex’s brother and Angie’s sister. Their speeches were long and heartfelt, and Angie’s sister barely made it through without breaking down crying. After the speeches, it was time to dance! Their guests were full of life and so happy to finally get their turn on the dance floor. DJ Bebo tore it up and the guests got down and boogied. After a bit, it was time for a dancing break as the bride and groom did the bouquet and garter toss. The person who caught the bouquet was so stoked! Once this was done, dancing resumed and the couple got to enjoy their wedding cake. After allll of this, it was time for the money dance. Their guests lined up for a chance to pay for a dance and it was such a good time. They kept dancing and you could see how excited Alex’s friends were to toss him into the air.
