April + Jonathan – Engaged

My sweet mother is my number one fan (besides Eric of course!). The job that she has requires her to travel around the country so she’s constantly meeting all sorts of cool people. Enter the fabulous April. She and my mother met on an airplane in 2008 and I don’t believe that April was engaged then (or maybe she was) but my mother was sure to give out one of my business cards. April says she knew after hearing about me from my mom and seeing my photos that I would be her wedding photographer. How lucky am I?! April and I met in passing at a bridal show and then again to discuss wedding details this past fall….we were a perfect match. But not as perfect as her and Jonathan! I had so much fun getting to know you both better. I enjoyed Jonathan’s antics to make April laugh…especially when he spoke in Spanish?! You guys are so silly but so wonderful together.

I mentioned in an earlier post that I would talk more about April’s involvement in choosing this location. One of her friend’s father has an art studio on the top floor of this downtown building pictured below. I love it when a couple chooses a special location for our session. Especially when it allows me to photograph in an original location. It gave their images a unique touch. Isn’t the balcony of this building beautiful? Although the elevator was broken and we climbed 9 flights of stairs, it was completely worth it! The rain held off and the light was perfect.

We went inside just one floor down from the art studio to get a few images. This building is being rennovated from my understanding so the room was totally gutted. The window light was AH-mazing!
