A LITTLE PAYBACK

Talk about pressure....a photoshoot with your graphic designer and his wife who happens to be your best friend from college?! (Shout out to Back Right Room ; )) They were so fun to work with (of course) and have perfect looks. If it wasn't for these two my business wouldn't be where it is today. And I would have a much smaller number of hilarious stories from college to get to tell my kids someday. ; )

It was tons of fun finding interesting places around Salt Lake City, and it was so fun try to pay back these two (three) that have done so much for me!

They are sooo adorable with each other

They wanted family pictures but Mason ended up sleeping through most of the session, but luckily we got this perfect shot right after he woke up! Isn't he SO CUTE?!?!



Stunning!!


That's the view in SLC, baby!







Thanks you guys!!!

THESE TWO ARE SO CUTE!

I got to shoot Melissa & TJ's engagement session during the peak fall colors! It was SOOO perfect matching this beautiful couple with such a beautiful backdrop! I first met Melissa at her nephew's session (here's the link). I was SO excited to work with her family again because they have got to be the sweetest people I've ever met.

Her and TJ have so much chemistry and are so fun together. We all just laughed through the whole session. I am soooo excited to shoot their wedding in the summer!

My favorite!!!




Beautiful light!


Melissa, you are so gorgeous!
Melissa's shoes were perfect!



My second favorite!

DONOVAN & MISCHA

I was so excited when my sister-in-law Mischa asked me to take some engagement style pictures of her and my brother while I was in Utah. I told her I could, "As long as I can take your head shots too!!!" They have been married for about 4 years and are SO ADORABLE together and make each other laugh constantly....actually they make EVERYONE laugh constantly.

Gorgeous couple!!



Do you see the family resemblance between my brother and I?


One of 100 cute laughing pics that we captured



I LOVE this pic of Mischa!!!


You are beautiful Mischa!

CALIFORNIA ENGAGEMENT!

I'm back from Texas and I loved my visit!! I got beautiful pictures in the wild flower fields (I have the angry ant bites to prove it)....but I will show you those pictures later....for now, here's Amy and Correy's engagement in San Francisco!!!!!!! There is no way for me to express how much fun this was! Amy and I have been close friends ever since we were three years old and moved in on the same street. She even flew out to be one of my bridesmaids in my wedding.

Since I live in D.C., meeting up for their engagement session was the first time for me to meet Correy! What a perfect couple!! They are photogenic and easy going in front of the camera. There are so many great shots from our session, especially because they don't know how to stop flirting. Amy is a really sentimental person, so it means so much for me to be a part of recording this romantic, fun, and hilarious side of her and Correy.

Amy & Correy, thanks a million times over for asking me to do your engagement pictures. My trip out there was amazing and my time with you guys was so awesome. I can't wait to show you the rest!

A note about my schedule: I've been traveling a lot and I will be traveling a lot until the end of June. Why all the travel?? My husband, Dan, is taking his medical school 2nd year boards next Saturday so I tried to cram all my trips into these few weeks while he's studying since I knew he'd be so busy he wouldn't notice I was gone! And then right after he finishes his exam we're taking time to visit family before he starts rounds! Just shoot me an email: andrea@andreamariephoto.com if you'd like to schedule an appointment and I'll get back to you about my exact availability.

How gorgeous is Amy?!?!






They are so perfect together!



My favorite is the top left corner....

Beautiful!




My favorite picture from the day, I love the feel to this moment


So much fun!

I'LL BE BACK SOON!

Guess where I am?! TEXAS! It's my first trip to Texas and I'm lovin' every minute of it! Did you know they have donut shops here like they have coffee shops in California?!

I can't wait to get back and post a couple of sessions for you. Until then, here's a sneak peak at the San Francisco engagement session that I did!

MEGHA & ANKIT

I had to find time during my vacation to show you guys these pictures of Megha & Ankit.  I LOVE them!!!  Megha & Ankit are photogenic and amazing.  They were hilarious and made each other laugh the whole time.  I really like to do sunrise sessions in D.C. since then you don't have to worry about parking, so here's another couple that were good sports about waking up at the crack of dawn.  : )  Megha & Ankit are both super hotties and super smart, it was so fun to get to know them while we did this session!!

Just so everyone knows, my vacation has been great so far!  There were the coolest people (and the cutest kids) sitting next to me on the plane that played with Vanessa the whole time!  I am so lucky!  But I definitely didn't pack well...I brought only flip-flops & t-shirts...and a blizzard hit Utah today.  At least when I get to CA I will be have the appropriate attire!  

I had such a hard time narrowing these pictures down...so sorry for the long post....but aren't they adorable?!

AHH!!  Totally worth waking up early for this sunrise!!


They were SO NATURAL in front of the camera!





They came up with this pose while I was changing memory cards and I thought it was SO CUTE!!

I love the mood in this one



I was SO EXCITED when we found these pink & blue stripes!  How cool do they look in front of them?!

You guys can not be any cuter....this is for sure my favorite of the whole shoot










Beautiful!!
