An “UP!” inspired engagement shoot…. PART 2!!!

i am so excited about sharing these!!!  :)  :)  :)

part 1 of lynnette & james’ engagement shoot was so fun to shoot that planning a part 2 was definitely in order! (click HERE for the first round of images & the inspiring love story that goes along with them!) the vision for these was to recreate the more child-like scenes of the Disney Pixar movie “UP!”; when ellie & carl first met, playing under a homemade tent together, dreaming of flying to paradise falls, working alongside each other at the zoo, painting their first mailbox and then them just playing together!  one of my most favorite ideas for these images came from james himself… “UP!” being their favorite movie, he “floated” all of lynnette’s christmas presents with balloons for her this last year as a surprise (with a little fishing line and hooks, too, but let’s keep that a secret)!  i thought the ideas was so genius and just plain thoughtful and i was so thrilled to incorporate the floating presents into the shoot.  so, now on to the sweet couple…

lynnette & james, will you please let me shoot part 3 in 25 years?! ;)
