I

I love brides who know what they want!!  Who doesn’t?

The first time I met Gretchen, she had a clear book with her full of photos.  She was very organized! I instantly knew that Guada, our happy-hippy stylist wouldn’t have a hard time conceptualizing Gretchen and Alvin’s engagement session.

Like any other session, the first will always be awkward.  It’s like the getting-to-know-you stage.  I totally understand why it feels weird to pose in front of the camera with someone you just met.  That’s the reason why; I always say this AGAIN and AGAIN, engagement sessions are an important bonding activity between a photographer and the soon-to-be Mister and Misses.  It takes away the awkwardness and that feeling of being invaded.  Thus on the wedding day, every pose, every smile, every moment is sincere.

Thank you to Gretchen and Alvin for being so game and for trusting us that whatever you had in mind, we could deliver.  I surely hope we did!  See you on your BIG day.
