Tucson Wedding Photographer ~ {rodin+lenny} engaged sneaky peeky!

Thank you, Tucson.

Thank you for big, fluffy white clouds. For sunshine. For mountains, gorgeous sunsets and rocky outcroppings.

And most importantly: thank you for amazing, brave clients willing to climb on top of said outcroppings.

Just, thank you.

Tucson Wedding Photographer ~ Cela+Noah Engaged

These two gorgeous kids are getting hitched on Saturday. I can't wait to see the beautiful St. Augustine Cathedral in all it's glory, and get a glimpse of what Cela thought up with her peacock theme! See you Saturday!

Montana Wedding Photographer ~ The King & Queen of Cheese get engaged!

How do I begin to explain my friends Rachael & Scott?

Rachael & Scott are the couple that go to Disneyland ... and pose with every character they meet. Rachael & Scott are the couple that have been together forever ... but still act like they just met. Rachael & Scott are the couple that just "go" together. They are snow & hot cocoa ... peanut butter & jelly ... fire & marshmallows ... sugar & cookies ...

Rachael & Scott have been dating for six years. Yes, six. When they first met, Scott informed Rachael he was on the "seven year plan" - Rach basically blew him off. "Whatever," she thought. Well, Scott got the final laugh on that one.

When Rachael called to announce their engagement last January, it went a little bit like this:

R: "Scott proposed this morning!"

D: "What?! It took you a whole five minutes to tell me this! I'm so excited for you, that's awesome! Hey, at least you beat the seven-year plan. HAH!"

R: "Oooooh no. By next June, it will be seven years ..."

And {nearly} seven years later, they're still cracking up at each other. I can't wait to shoot the wedding next June!

{as always, you can click on a picture to make it bigger!}

Four days before the shoot, it was -23 in Missoula. Day of, it was 19. It was this cold (yes, that's a frozen river):

They were brave souls, working the "grin & bear it" face:

The Rachael & Scott we know & love:

My {favorite} shot of the day ... Aren't they adorable?

Cheers!

Montana Photographer ~ Sneaky Peeky Numero TRES!

I told you it was going to be a busy week ...

My week in Missoula was productive to say the least!  The week started off with a bang with a balmy -12 degrees, and that was before the wind chill factor.  Thankfully the weather gods decided to cut Rachael & Scott a break by Friday so we could shoot their engagement session.  Here is a sneaky peeky of the King & Queen of Cheese:

First {official} dolli photo blog post!

So, I guess the best way to start out a new blog is with good news ...

I'm engaged!

So to satiate all of your curious oohs and aaahs, here are some ring pictures. I do love me some ring pictures. Yum!
