this engagement session was all kinds of wonderful. ali is my assistant and after what seemed like an eternity of hearing about her dreamy cameron, while the two of them were on a trip in africa this past summer learning about music and dance across the world (music is both of their passions), he finally asked her to marry him at the top of a mountain! they came home giddy beyond belief and the photo session inspiration began to flow. so let’s go back to when they first started dating… ali sings and plays music as does cameron and one day he asked her to sing with him at church when he was leading worship. the sweetness began and they began playing together often, writing songs and playing all sorts of instruments and now they do shows together… it’s darling and amazing. their wedding theme is all based around their love of music and they brought out all their favorites for this session. the beautiful record player was given to them by ali’s grandman, most of the records were from her grandparents and parents, they stripped the piano keys out of an antique piano they are using in their wedding (such a rad prop idea), the instruments are those they play regularly and perhaps the sweetest of all is that cameron custom designed her wedding ring and the diamond came from his great great aunt. now, we knew we couldn’t do just another run of the mill music photo shoot with records, so we brainstormed and figured that perhaps if they were playing in the midst of a rainstorm, of sorts, it would make it extra special. i’m pretty darn excited about these, hope you love them too! here’s two with the rain to hold you over until you scroll down a bit more…
and because everyone likes to see a little behind the scenes action, here is one i snapped with my iphone of donny spraying the “rain”…
