March | 2014 | Footsteps Photography

The day started out a bit chilly, a bit windy, and a forecast of “definitely going to rain”. The sky was dark and dreary (but perfect light for us photographers) and had an ominous feel to it. My young couple pulled up excited and ready for their engagement session, with their unstoppable smiles and umbrella in hand we started out on our morning adventure.

Kristen was game for anything, with her “conquer the world by storm” attitude, and Josh, well he was along for the ride. Wearing boots and the cutest little dress ever, she had the poses down like she was born to do this. Josh on the other hand, had eyes only for her. You could see he wasn’t comfortable yet with the camera on him but he was comfortable holding his beautiful fiancé’, so we played on that.

Josh, a Tech Sergeant in the Air Force, met his beautiful fiancé’ about 4 years ago at Bogus Basin as he was moving from Alaska to Utah. They became close friends and then fell in love. Kristen thinks “he is about the sweetest Prince Charming a girl could ever ask for”, and I must agree. It is always refreshing to see this much love, this much caring, and this much happiness and it really shows in their pictures. Their wedding day is July 12^th of this year and we can’t wait! We are so very excited for the 2 of them and their new adventures together.

Man did it feel good to kick off wedding season for 2014 with this awesome couple.The Shoemaker family has always been very near and dear to our hearts, so we were very excited and honored that Blake and Anya chose us for their big day! These two… let me tell ya, this was a serious courtship. This was the romantic courtship you hear about in fairytales. They met online and it was definitely fate. Anya was going online to delete her profile when she found Blake’s email. They started talking and started falling for each other. After emails, phone calls, and visits, these two became quite the pair, so very in love, but waiting until their wedding day to share their first kiss. And such a handsome man and beautiful woman to live out this fairytale. Their first kiss was perfect. They ate amazing desserts, said goodbye to us all with a sparkler sendoff and the next morning headed to Disneyland for their honeymoon. It was such a special day! Blake and Anya, we are so happy for you and wish you all the happiness life can bring! Here are some photos from that fairytale of a day!
