Adam + Ashley = me in LOVE {sonoma engagement photos, wine country engagement photos, sonoma county wedding photographer}

Ashley wedding show stalked me....... ok well I stalked her at the wedding shows but lets not split hairs! I was so excited when Ashley e mailed me wanting to set up an engagement session. She is finishing up Dental School so they don't plan to get married until after she graduates but they are having an engagement party later this month and wanted some nice photos for the party. Lucky me! because I was given the honors of being the photographer they asked to take their photos! .....she might have just felt sorry for me, who knows! ;)

Although I knew I was going to like Ashley I didn't quite know how much until she started texting me about the weather and if we were going to have enough time and then told me not to think she was nuts! It was like reading a text from myself! LOL!
Sometimes in life people just stand out, sometimes it's their attitude, their appearance, or just something they've been through in their life. I am not quite sure what it is about Ashley and Adam, I haven't quite figured it out yet but I really enjoyed capturing their love for each other. It was a lot of fun just hanging out with Adam and Ashley, it was like I've known them all my life!

They started this shoot out by telling me that Adam wasn't photogenic.... ugghh all I have to say is YOU GUYS ARE BIG FAT LIARS!!! ok skinny liars!!!








I love the shot below, the bottom of the two photos. I was given the "hint hint" by Ashley that she is in love with her boots and that it was ok with her if I took lots of pictures of them. So while taking the hint (which meant I was lying face down on the pavement) I got back up (this task takes me longer than it did when I was 20) so when I finally got up I noticed Adam was still just looking at Ashley and in such a cute way. I raised my camera and took the shot hoping I had the right settings cuz the second after I took the shot they stood up. Luckily.... I did...OH YEEAAHH!!


Reason #642 that I love Ashley... she is a self proclaimed "fat kid" .... that's what I call myself!! We happened to park in front of Ben and Jerry's for the last part of the shoot. I think her and I both at the same time looked and said hmmm how can we find an excuse to go there and get ice cream with out looking like fat kids.... ahh haa !! a photo idea! so here is our "photo idea" aka excuse for yummy ice cream!

notice there is just one photo! ... didn't want our ice cream to melt! We did have a mission to accomplish ya know, one that didn't include pictures!!
