Over the Christmas holidays I got a very excited call from my friend Randi. Tyler had just proposed and she was calling to tell everything the awesome news! I was of course SUPER excited for her even though I had only met Tyler once before when they first moved in. Over the last few months we planned out their engagement session and we figured we would do it when she came back home for my baby shower. About a week or two before the shower some photography friends of mine (Kaye Murphy and Jessi Field) told me they wanted to do a “shoot out” type event while I was in town and I was super excited for that too- until they told me the date. It was the same and only date I could shoot Randi and Tyler’s engagement session! So, I asked if they needed models still and they did and “VOILA!” Problem solved AND they got some awesome shots out of the deal. Shoot outs are always interesting and usually you get some pretty amazing stuff from them. I happen to love all of these photos because she (and I guess THEY) is my friend. Oh and Randi, you should be happy I decided not to throw in some awesome photos of us back in the day. We LOOKED awesome as 9th graders… just sayin.20110327-DSC_7355

Isnt she so pretty?20110327-DSC_733420110327-DSC_737220110327-DSC_737820110327-DSC_7389

While everyone else was taking photos of Randi I grabbed a few shots of Tyler. He is dashing isnt he?20110327-DSC_741620110327-DSC_7470 copy20110327-DSC_748220110327-DSC_7446

They also brought their kiddos Tokyo and Omelette out for some photos too!20110327-DSC_753020110327-DSC_755420110327-DSC_7558

Jessi let me borrow her Tilt Shift lens and I think I fell in love. Ive rented it for a few upcoming sessions I have and Im excited to do more fun things with it! I think the rest of these photos were taken with it, it took a while to get the focus down.20110327-DSC_759720110327-DSC_7605

I wish I had been able to get both eyes in focus. Oh well. She’s still gorgeous!20110327-DSC_760820110327-DSC_762620110327-DSC_763620110327-DSC_764620110327-DSC_765820110327-DSC_767020110327-DSC_770020110327-DSC_770820110327-DSC_7722

Lorena and Sean were married the first weekend in June in Pensacola, Florida. It was a nice rainy day out but you know what they say about raining on your wedding day right? This wedding was a long time coming for Lorena and Sean. He proposed two years ago!  I’m so happy their big day finally got here. I knew it was going to be fun as soon as I read their contract and Lorena wrote her wedding colors to be electric aqua blue, mango tangerine orange and sandy wheat! It was surely a fun wedding to shoot, especially that reception. Lorena and Sean are crazy fun dancers!20100605-DSC_0295

Probably one of my favorite shoe shots ever! Plus they are my favorite brand of heels so that might help.

Isn’t Lorena gorgeous? I don’t think I can take a bad photo of her?

This next photo is my favorite from the whole day. I don’t know why I like it either but I do. Maybe its the fact that nothing is in focus? Or all the pretty flowers?

While I was with the girls Leslie met up with Sean for a few photos. Oddly enough the guys weren’t ready yet.

Sean’s favorite moment of the day was saying his vows.20100605-DSC_0662

At this point in time it was pouring outside.

Sean is a stud.20100605-DSC_0773

Lorena’s favorite moment in the day was enjoying the last dance of the evening with their family and friends.

After the cake cutting and toast I noticed it was no long raining and I wanted to get a few of just them and I am so super glad we did.

You guys were awesome. Thanks for coming out with me for the photos. It was worth it right? Even with the rain. I thoroughly enjoyed your wedding day! Thank you so much for trusting me with your memories.

Lorena’s advice for the future bride: You must be willing to accept “last minute” changes. Things will “go wrong”.

Sean’s advice- Gather your guest’s addresses first, everything else will fall into place.
