Vanessa & Gabriel – Engaged!

Tuesday, August 11, 2009Posted in Engagements

Yesterday I drove to Tucson to meet Vanessa and Gabriel for their engagement session. I arrived in Tucson a few hours early and met a past client of mine at La Encantada for lunch to catch up and see her now 4-month old baby Ian. Thanks for meeting me Vivi (and for reading my blog :)).

Hi Vanessa… Hi Gabriel… It’s so nice to meet you! Can I please put my leftovers in your frigde?

Good thing Vanessa and Gabriel are so easy-going or they might have fired me right there and then. What photographer puts their left-over sandwich in their client’s refrigerator?! Apparently I do.

The first location they chose was this really cool fast food place called Pat’s. Both their grandparents live around this area so they grew up going there and have tons of good memories from this place. I LOVED it!

Oh, and how could I forget? This ball of energy is their baby Oliver :)

Vanessa is so incredibly beautiful!

They are so much fun!!

Dear Vanessa, you are beautiful.

You two are seriously amazing. Thank you so much for your kindness and for the great dinner. I am looking forward to some more fun times in Tucson in a couple of months :)

I love the backdrop of these photos – so bright and vibrant.

And you're right – Vanessa is so pretty. Great hair, great eyes.

P.S. How fun that you got to see Vivi while you were here! I need to give her a call.
