when i meet with couples, i like to ask the how they met. it used to be to get ideas for myself, hah, but now that i’m married, i still enjoy the different stories of how people find one another. nureida and david are the first couple that i’ve shot that met at the mall. i love it. he was working as a security guard and she was working as a salesperson… david even took her back there to propose. so sweet.
nureida and david suggested the ramapo reserve for their engagement session. even though it was the very end of fall, the preserve had some great spots with lots of color left… so i decided to post this entire blog in color!
love nureida and david’s coordinating fall colors….
i was too far away to know what was really going on here, but i liked this moment because it looks like he just proposed to her…
even in the areas where the leaves were sparse, there was an opportunity for a beautiful shot….
at one point during the shoot there was a boulder that was in my way. i had a hunch that david, being a personal trainer, would be able to move it with little effort. he lifted it like it was nothing and moved it for me, awesome.
love the orange!
love the boots and the blue suede shoes….
while we were heading out and the light was just about gone, i thought it was worth a shot to take advantage of the calm waters and the reflecting colors…
a great time with nureida and david at the ramapo reserve….looking forward to their wedding this fall!
