Melissa and I have been friends since 6th grade, so I was really excited to get to do these engagement photos for her. And I also loved that she wanted something different than the average, posed engagement photos.
They are having a destination wedding in Mexico, so they needed someone local to do the pre-wedding sessions. Our original plan was to shoot at the park then hit downtown Dallas, but with the weather, we were outta luck. So, we'll try again for the downtown part. I'm also doing some bridals for her later in the month, but of course I cannot post those until after the wedding! Darn!
Check out these clouds and this light. If it appears like it was about to downpour, well, it was!
The weather and clouds were so crazy. It was like in a movie. The sun was setting over behind this beautiful estate and we were getting tons of great shots, working the flare (see below). All of the sudden Matt looks up and says, "Um, I think it's about to rain. Really hard." This huge, dark grey cloud moved overhead within about 10 seconds flat. By the time we ran back to the cars, the trees were blowing and leaves were falling all around us. Good thing we wrapped it up, because it got ugly!
And, by the way, Melissa owns a super cute, fun, girly boutique called Ella Bleu. She's located in The Shops at Legacy in Plano if you're ever up that way. Here's the link:

Thanks y'all! It was fun and I wish we hadn't been cut short. We'll be trying again!
