I could tell from their photo shoot that Isaac and Marissa are perfect for each other. They will have a wonderful life together, I’m quite certain of it.
This was the first photo shoot that I had an assistant/second shooter with me. I was accompanied by Mandi. To be honest I worked Mandi pretty hard with lighting gear and she didn’t get much of a chance to shoot, but she said she had fun anyway. She managed to get a few behind the scenes shots that are up on her blog. The 12th image in this post is the exact moment that she took of me as I was standing on a garbage can to get the shot. Hey, you gotta use what’s available sometimes.
The lighting on the last two shots was kind of fun. It was done with two strobes triggered with PocketWizard IIs. We worked around this sculpture for a while. Arrived after the sun set. Isaac and Marissa wanted to get some photos taken there. It is a sculpture just west of the Centrum building at SUU. One strobe is behind the couple, slightly to camera right. The other strobe is being held by Mandi just to the right of Isaac’s head and bounced off the metal sculpture to light their faces.

Kristina contacted me to have their engagement photos taken in November. She was hoping that there would be snow on the ground. It snowed a couple of times before the scheduled day. It all melted down in the valley of course, but it was just a short drive up the canyon to get to the snow. This is going to be a long post. I have a lot of favorites from this shoot. There is a link to the entire gallery at the bottom of this post.
After the snow we hit a couple more locations. The next shot is one of my favorites from the whole shoot.
Kristina and Cole were great to work with. It was cold and they were troopers. They didn’t complain about how cold it was once. View the entire gallery.

These guys are some of the lucky ones that had perfect timing to catch the brilliant aspen trees at their peak. The timing could not have been better. I can’t think of many better backdrops than a backlit aspen tree in its full fall glory.
And then how about a field of black lava rock with aspens in the background. Just awesome.
The background for the next shot was the same scene I posted earlier.
And then we ended the shoot at Cedar Breaks just in time to catch the setting sun.
What an awesome couple and and awesome photoshoot.

I had a ton of fun taking these engagement photos. Nate & Steph look fantastic. We had some pretty cool locations too. There are so many that I like, I am having trouble deciding which ones to share in this post. It was hard, but here are some of my favorites.
Well there are even more I like so here is the link to the whole set http://photos.pagrimes.com/nate_steph_engagements
