So, after our incredible Maternity shoot with Jenny and Troy, Brian and I had to skip over to Riverside for S&R’s third engagement shoot with Michelle and Derek.  Let me just say that so far, we have been very fortunate to work with extremely cool clients, and Michelle and Derek were no exception.  Not to mention they’re a great-looking couple.  Can’t ask for much more, right?

Memorial Park  was our first stop, but Brian and I weren’t really feelin the lighting.  So we didn’t spend much time there….although we were able to salvage some shots through pp.

So we drove up the street to Avondale.  Thankfully, all of the shopkeeps were gracious enough to allow S&R snap some photos in front of their stores (including an uber-cool chess set).  Then Brian found a little niche between some of the buildings, with some great ambient lighting and a staircase.  It appeared to be a restaurant of some sort, but it wasn’t open.  So we snapped off about 75-100 shots then booked it.  We’re such rebels. =P

After that it was a matter of waiting for the sun to go down a bit before using a couple of nice colorful brick walls for backdrops, then we called it a day.   I don’t believe we would have made it if not for Michelle and Derek.  They made our jobs so easy.  So if you see them on the street somewhere, give them high-fives for me.

Then run, because they have no idea who you are.  Weirdo.

Hey everyone, Brian here…This past weekend S&R had the pleasure of working with Beth and Terry. These 2 make such an attractive couple and were an absolute delight to work with. One of the many reasons that S&R is in business is that we get to meet so many great couples and we get to help set in stone the memories that bind people together. Beth and Terry def had spark to them, no matter  how many different poses, etc we placed them in they kept playing along and getting a few laughs on our expense as well.

We started our session at the beautiful Old House in St. Augustine Florida. This is the very site where these 2 will exchange their vows, and from what I can tell it will be the perfect setting for their cermony.

 After we took a few images at the gardens we headed over to the Museum where we snapped off a few before we were chased off by the city (now where did I place that permit )

 A quick hop accross the street and we made it to the reception site, Casa Monica. What a beautiful location and perfect setting for a party! We also took a stroll down some historic streets in St Augustine where we were able to capture Beth and Terry having a little fun.

 All-n-All we had a blast getting to know Beth and Terry, we wish them the very best in their new life together!

Until next time…
