Say hello to one of the newest R2 couples, Lisa & Michael. Their downtown Phoenix Engagement Session was super cute! We have know Lisa for quite some time….in fact she is a Phoenix wedding photographer herself. So when she chose R2 to be her official Phoenix wedding photographers out of all the others she knew, you could say we were quite honored! Lisa & Micheal’s spring wedding will be at Firesky Resort (a venue we recently photographed – freakin’ amazing!) and we are so thrilled they are taking us back! Having never met Michael, Robin & I didn’t know what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. Not only is he handsome, hysterically funny (he had us busting up throughout the entire engagement session), and so sweet to Lisa, he also didn’t care about his man card because he let Lisa’s vision of balloons and bikes and giant sunflowers take over the entire first half of their engagement session. We are thrilled he did….enjoy the images we captured.
Lisa, being a photographer herself, kept saying…”Okay now what do I do?” “where should I put my hands?” “how about we do this?”. Robin & I just kept shooting away, not giving her much direction (intentionally) and letting her insecurities in front of the camera inspire some amazing candid moments between her & Michael. One thing we have learned is that we are equally as nervous as most of our couples are when they get in front of the camera…it is nerve wracking but oh so worth it. Especially in Lisa’s case.
Lisa had a pinterest board we checked out for the theme of her E-Sesh! But, I love this pic on the left that Robin captured as it was a complete R2 pic….no pinterest involved. Candid, magical & lovely!
NASH…oh Nash. This dog is about as tall as I (Renee) am. I wouldn’t consider myself a huge dog lover, but cute little old Nash had me sold. All that fur and you couldn’t even see his eyes.
Michael loves PDA, NOT! So this is after we told him to get in really close to Lisa… closer…closer… and he just couldn’t do it…..they busted up laughing.
All you R2 followers know we love us some dirt, alleys, murals and grunge. Here is the downtown Phoenix shots you would might from us.
Next up….An amazing R2 date with this couple. We can’t wait to hang with them again and we know they are a perfect fit into our R2 family. So, everyone say hi & give them some love in the comments!
Until next time,
XOXO _ R & R
