    Engagement Session: Elizabeth + Frank

    Woo hoo! I am finally getting a free second to post up some (ok, several) of my favorite images from Elizabeth and Frank's recent engagement session. These two are a FABULOUS couple! The are so sweet and so well suited to each other. Its nice to see two people so much in love. The thing I really loved about Elizabeth and Frank is that you can really tell that they are best friends.

    We headed out to Virginia Key to take some great shots on the beach. It was REALLY hot, but both Elizabeth and Frank were troopers.























    I love this shot, but I can't take credit for it. Frank had a great idea for an awesome image. He said he wanted a photo of his and Elizabeth's footprints side by side leading to only his footprints. He then wanted to show him caring her in his arms off in the distance. What and awesomely sweet idea. I love this image and the meaning it has behind it.

    Now I have to just say... this is so hot! :)







    There was this really awesome bus that was dirty, rusted out, and graffitti'ed. I decided I wanted to tell a story with the images....

    Girl meets boy on bus....

    Boy and girl fall in love...

    completely in love....

    these are totally my favorite images of the day.

    and then on the outside of the bus is when it starts to get HOT!



















    Elizabeth and Frank met through cycling. When Frank first met Elizabeth, she had broken her arm just the week before from a fall on her bike. They didn't see each other again for a couple months, but he still remembered her.

    And the next time he saw her again, they were inseperable


    Isn't love grand!?!?!?

    I love the ones in the trees, especially the way the light fell on the man's face in the one image. Did you say you shot these with a 1.8 lens?? I am still waiting for mine to come (oh and sorry to bombard you with comments, I had been meaning to write stuff for awhile now...) :-)

    Amber,

    Yes, all these images where shot with the 50mm f1.8. I'm addicted to that lens.

    Oh, and comment bombardment is ALWAYS welcome! ;-)
