Nancy and Phil's Engagement Session

Dude, I frikking love these engagement sessions! Its a chance for my clients to get an idea of how I work, and how goofy I am! Last night we got to hang out with Nancy and Phil, whose wedding I'll be shooting next April.

The location was phenomenal! Its like in those Colombian drug lord movies, where the guys with guns are hanging out all over the mansion watching out, huuuuuge backyard stretching down into the river......ok.......minus the guns....and the drug lord......and Columbia....but this place rocks!

A TTD session was calling, however this is Florida, and there really are gators in these parts.

The evening was complete with a romantic canoe ride down the Hillsborough River. Apparently Nancy had never been in a Canoe....the look on her face was priceless! I was ready with the camera when they were getting in the Canoe.......waiting for the moment for someone to fall.......but it never happened..:( I know...kind of mean.....but that would have made for some great shots!

Anyhow, here are some of my favs from last night! Man I love that delicious golden sun in the evening!

**Edit**

-This job can be so gratifying at times, especially when you have really frikking awesome clients who dearly appreciate what we do. Thanks Phil, your awesome!
