Before I show you the pictures - I have to tell you the story of this
couple! First off, I know Rachel from my hometown area, Thatcher, AZ!
So I was really excited when she said they would like us to do their
pictures. To get a better idea of where to go, we started discussing
how they met... and I still cannot believe what she said! They met on a
BLIND DATE! Wha...? How many people end up dating and MARRYING
someone from a BLIND DATE? Probably the only one in history! Well ok,
maybe not - but I have never experienced a good one personally - so I
think its awesome :) So we thought it would be fun to build their
engagement session around their first date. They went to Freestone
Park, had a picnic/barbeque, fed the ducks, and afterwards went to the
the Mesa, AZ Temple to wander around and visit some more. I have seen
so many pictures done at Freestone Park, and I have taken pictures there
before - so we went to Encanto Park, in Phoenix instead. They brought
the fun picnic basket (makes me think of Yogi Bear! :) lol ) and we just
had fun! We didn't end up taking any pictures of them feeding ducks...
only because I saw a huge pack of ducks attacking some kids while they
were feeding them... and I got scared! :) Then we found a really cool
truck while wandering around the Downtown Phoenix area... and lets just
say I think we re-created the magic from their first date! Thank you
Rachel and Rori for letting us be part of your history and letting our
crazyness!
PS - while we were discussing what kind of
photos Rachel likes, she said she likes the pictures that are cropped
and only show feet... well I went a little crazy and took lots of those
(her shoes just popped! loved them - as you will see at the end of the
post (ok I had more... but I didn't want to overwhelm you!)
