modern vintage engagement photos | pamela + scott

I tried to get all my work done before leaving to Asia, but more work piled while I was gone so I’m currently trying to get all caught up and as a result, my poor blog is neglected.  I’m taking a short editing break to share with you these lovely photos of an amazing couple who’s getting married next week!

.

While scouting out locations, Pamela found this lovely field by her house.  She snapped some pictures and sent them to me with an excited, “This is SO your style!”  And boy was she right!  When I showed up, I squealed with glee!  I pretty much squealed throughout this session because everything was just so beautiful.  The setting and light was amazing.  Her fabulous hair piece & dress (by Jessica McClintock) was gorgeous!  And from my blog, Pamela knew all my poses already, so I didn’t even have to tell her anything!  That made me so happy!  Anytime I started to direct them, she already knew what I was thinking.  LOVE IT!

Aren’t they just so gorgeous?

Ready for a funny back story?  When we showed up to the field, Pamela said, “What if there are snakes?”  Right then, Scott looks down and says, “um… there’s snake skin.”  He picks up the molted skin of a 4ft rattle snake!  We didn’t wander any further after that and stayed close to the edge.  So warning to anyone else who wants to run into a wild field… beware of snakes.  …but the risk was totally worth it because big empty fields creates amazing images like this:

That gorgeous bouquet is actually faux flowers!  The best part is that the bouquet from her aunt’s wedding way long ago.

And when I sent the proofs to them, I got this message back that filled me with the warm & fuzzies!

And it’s 1 am but I’m going to wake up Scott on the phone and tell him how absolutely AMAZING they are!!  He’ll be so excited to see these!!!
You have seriously got some wonderful, amazing talent!!!
You have topped our whole engagement off with these pictures.

Thank you thank you thank you.

Anyway…I really can’t express my gratitude enough to you. I have always wanted to do something like this, and you honestly have made that a reality. Looking at those pictures also helped me think back on my relationship with Scott and the love we have had for 8 years. Thank you for showing that story through your pictures.

Anyway, thank you so much! You are honestly amazing!
