ENGAGEMENT PICTURES.... EMMA DUNCAN AND EVAN PHILIP

I was happy to get together last month with Evan and Emma to take some engagement pictures down at Riverside Park before their wedding the week after.  Emma is always laughing and so it was fun to get some pictures of her so happy! Luckily the rain held off long enough that I was able to get some cute shots of them, even when it was colder than we were expecting. Evan was a trooper, but I think he might have preferred wearing something a little warmer!! I always have fun with the pictures after and I used some PW actions on these.....

ENGAGEMENT PICTURES... LAMBS/MELCHINS

I was so happy to be able to take Alyssa and Brant's engagement pictures last December when they were in town for Alyssa's brother's wedding. They were a wonderful couple to work with, fun, happy and definitely in love which made it easy. I use Aperture to process my pictures and  Photoshop CS3 to work with them.  I've also included several shots that have CoffeeShop BW Actions on them.

Alyssa is the daughter of some of our best friends and she has grown up with my children! I remember her as a baby, a toddler and then as a young woman and now she will be getting married this month. Time goes so fast! This is why I love to take pictures...they freeze time for a few minutes so we can remember the happy times, the loving times and the times we do not want to forget. They capture who we are at this brief moment!  

Here are a beautiful couple in love and starry eyed...my favourite pictures to take!

for the love of TRUCKS

Still happily working on Jana Morton's Creative Composite class when I get a minute and as soon as I saw this lesson, I knew I wanted to work on this truck engagement picture with it. I used lots of blending and I changed the background from paper to using another photo and I loved how it looked.

So fun to use these pictures of my Mel and her Kevin....makes you believe in "happily ever after!!"

Let me know in my comments a favourite engagement picture you've seen, I'm always looking for ideas!

ENGAGEMENT PICTURES

So HAPPY to take engagement pictures today of my sweet Melodie and her fiance Kevin Smith! We went out by the river here in Kamloops taking the airport road and I had a wonderful time! I think the two kiddos got a little cold but they were good sports and humoured me. The hardest part was stopping them from laughing long enough to snap a picture.

After having a picture taken off my blog last year without permission by Van Print in Vancouver (see my post here Egg Nog Model), I decided I better put my signature on all of my pictures. I will just have to figure out a quick way to do that. In these pictures I used a lot of Pioneer Woman actions and had such fun with them.

HAD to put some TRUCK pictures in....Kevin with his trucks!

The most snow we've had all month came yesterday, just before picture day....

Loved the Valentine roses!

A lot of history in this chair, personally made by Kevin...given to Melodie as a gift!

Melodie's gorgeous ring that she was super happy with!

Another MATHIESON wedding is coming up soon on April 21st, 2012!
