Eric got a call from his good friend telling him about a girl he should take out. This friend had recently been on a date with Kendra. His extrovert and her introvert personalities didn’t quite mesh. Luckily this friend knew exactly who’s introvert personality would mesh perfectly with hers. After seeing a photo of Kendra, Eric quickly agreed that he should definitely take her out!
Thanksgiving break is a time that many college students look forward to. A break from classes, tests, obnoxious roommates. A chance to get away from campus for awhile. This particular Thanksgiving was especially anticipated by both Ryan and Amberly. They were looking forward to their trip to California with Ryan’s family.
A Tale of Two Blind Dates
Blind date number one: When I was a teenager, one of my favorite teachers set me and a friend up with her two younger brothers. In retrospect, this is already sounding like a bad idea. But at that point, I was ready for whatever adventure crossed my path. Except, of course, the adventure that involved my date ditching me after 30 minutes, and me being a third wheel for a looong evening. Not the best night of my life.
We are trying to hang on to every moment we have left with this perfect fall weather. We always wish it would last longer. We enjoyed the most perfect sunny autumn day for this beautiful family session. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. We especially lucked out because the very next morning we woke up to snow and record breaking cold temperatures!
And just like that fall is gone. We are happy we were able to get a couple more fall sessions in before this crazy Utah snow storm moved in. This beautiful family being one of them. Everything about this evening was perfect, from the lovely glowing light, to the changing colors of the trees, the warm weather, to the awesome family we got to hang out with. This is Ryan’s sister’s family and we love when they come into town to visit! Enjoy some of our favorites from their downtown Provo session.
One of our favorite benefits of doing photography are the relationships we get to build with those we photograph. Each couple and every family are all so different from each other. We have photographed a lot of people over the past several years and through all that time there has not been a single person we have not enjoyed being with. This family was no exception!
There is a moment in every wedding day, a moment that we as photographers look forward to. But before that wonderful moment, there is organized chaos. There are nerves, anxiety, and butterflies. Quick glances at the clock, and hope. Then, in a flash, it happens. The stress melts away, and the peace comes. There is relief that everything is going to work out fine. In the wonderful moment, everything becomes real.
