Roseville Tea Party Engagement Photography Session (Julie and Ryan)

Ryan & Julie are getting married... in a week and a half... we styled their engagement session at this super secret location only known to me, my beagle, and my terrific previous client Alisa who came all the way up from Woodbridge to help me with the shoot on Sunday. (THANK YOU!!!!)

It was a lot of planning, and thinking and work, and hauling furniture, and a lot of anxiety on my part, and there might have been some vomiting which was totally my fault, and no, I wasn't the one who was doing the upchucking, but really, it was romantic. And MEMORABLE! Ugh... Why do I always have to injure my clients? If they aren't breaking legs or falling in rabbit holes they're throwing up or falling on the ground out of pure exhaustion. I'm a total a slave driver. I'm sooooo sorry about all of my abuses!!! I work you all too hard! But you are all just soo cute I can't control myself!

And I swear on Emily Post's Guide to Etiquette if any of you Tumblr folk remove the watermarks off any of these images you are going to be beat with a freaking vintage copy of the book, manners be damned. The watermarks are there for a reason, thank you!










Ryan makes me think of the bewildered hedgehog or maybe the flamingo in Alice in Wonderland here. LOL

Rescuing of random rottweilers running around on the street after standing around talking too long after the shoot after driving from way too far away to help with said shoot: Alisa!! Although I (Emily) did feed the gigantic dog cookies and water and lock her in my car for awhile. She sat in my driver's seat and her head nearly touched the ceiling. She looked ridiculous [ly adorable] until her mother came to pick her up.
