Elvira & Carlos: The Engagement

Carlos & Elvira are the perfect match for each other.  Seemingly opposites that fit together so well.  He is a thinker.  She is a free spirit.  He is dry.  She is vivacious.  Together, they create this balance for each other.  A fantastic yin & yang.

If I could re-shoot my own engagement session it would be EXACTLY this session.  Elvira put so much thought & effort into their engagement session so that it would reflect the two of them.  I don’t think it could have been more perfect.  The props & the light & the location &… well, every single part of it was so much fun.  Their personalities shone through and I am absolutely in love with these images.

Carlos & Elvira – Thank you for thinking about this shoot.  For really putting yourselves into it and creating a fantastic backdrop.  I love what we created and really, couldn’t possibly be more excited to see what you put on for the wedding.  You make my job so much fun! Thank You!

 

Melody of My Sweet & Saucy made the cookies, cupcakes & cupcake lollipops… to.die.for.  Adorable & amazingly delicious.

    Lovely…I like how Carlos is showing his sweet smile in these photos. All of the ones I take show no teeth:-). My favorite is the “novio/novia” signs interchanged. Elvira has a beautiful smile, and I can just hear her laugh! You two look great…can’t wait to see you all fancy on your wedding. Love you. Stef
