Samantha + Mike | Engagement Session
January 22, 2010 This awesome couple will be married this July at Edgewood Country Club in Lake Tahoe, CA and I’m so stoked to finally be sharing some of their engagement session photographs. Samantha is so sweet, so down to earth and she also does triathlons (I seriously felt like a wimp when she told me that). I remember our first consultation and how excited she was about her wedding. It is really cool to work with couples that are so in love you can feel it. Samantha, you’re awesome and you are going to be a stunning bride. I can’t wait until July. Mike is an all around awesome guy and it was nice to get to know him a little more at dinner at Riva Grill in South Lake Tahoe after the session. Mike was cool with anything and totally trusted me, I should have made him stand on his head or something right? Probably not, he’s a former college football player. Anyhow, I am enamored by clients like these and so happy to be sharing my photography with them.
We started out photographing in the freshly fallen snow and it was a perfect fit for the cowboy/cowgirl outfits. Samantha’s family has a ranch up in Montana so they are legit! Then we headed down to the beach at Edgewood and we had the most amazing light to work with as the sun faded across the Sierra Nevadas and beautiful Lake Tahoe.
