Annie and Ryan

Annie and Ryan
My second engagement shoot of 2008 (at some point, I will quit counting)!
Yes it was, shot in, what will become known as, the 'blizzard of '08'. We were crazy enough to head out in the snowstorm to do Annie and Ryan's engagement shoot! They were in town from Scottsdale, AZ and who knew they would be in for such a treat!
I hadn't met Annie or Ryan until Friday. She hired me 'site unseen', but when we talked on the phone, it was like talking to a friend I've had my whole life. I absolutely loved her!
Here are a few shots from our session ...
a nice little silhouette...
We stopped here to take some photographs and the swan from across the pond came right over to us. I wish I had thought to bring some food! Maybe next time.
This next shot, is another favorite because I love the feeling that I am peeking around the corner at them. That they have no idea I am there. And I love the leading line in the wall that points straight to them.
I just love how Annie and Ryan were together. Totally into each other and absolutely adorable!
Annie and Ryan have such great smiles. Their faces just light up ... I love it.
Probably my favorite of the day ...
the ring shot ...
Then we had a snowball fight! This next picture makes me laugh OUT LOUD every time I look at it!
But don't worry ... Annie got him back! I like this photo because you can see she is molding her snowball for the attack!
I had such a blast with you two! I am so glad we braved the weather for your shoot!

Cool shots (pun intended)! I like the silhouette in the tunnel.

His red scarf and her red turtleneck really help the snow shots "pop."

As always, great work!

What a fun shoot! My favorites are the one with the swam and the one right before the ring shot.

Stunning!
I love #7, 8 and 10. #8 is my favorite of those three because the pose is more romantic and dramatic. It’s the red highlight in an almost monochromatic image that makes these so pleasing.
(Not to discredit the composition, blurred and compressed background, and posing.)
Great job!

okay i can't say i'm jealous of your snow, but i'm totally jealous of the INCREDIBLE images you get with it!! what an awesome session!

Yes, the snow does have some endearing qualities - ha!

And I agree that the scarf and red sweater add to the photos.

Thanks for the comments guys!

GORGEOUS! Ever since Kelly and Brett Cassidy's photos went up I have come to your site often to check out your beautiful work. These in the snow are amazing and delightful! I second (third? fourth) the comment about the sihouette shot. I love all the snow in mid-air, flakes and snowballs both. All of these stand on their own and together they are a blast to look at. I hope I get engagement shots that beautiful one day!
