Krista & Ray | Engagement

Looking out the monorail window, he watched the scenery of the themepark slide by. Snow covered mountains, screaming rollercoasters, twinkling lights and floating balloons. Not the most sophisticated of locations for sure, but definately fun, and a little surreal. Kind of like the last couple of years had been. With a couple of clicks of a mouse he had found her on the internet. A few conversations had led to their first date on New Year's Eve. That had been brave, he thought to himself now - kind of a big night to possibly ruin with a sour first date. Ahh, but it had been sweet he recalled, smiling to himself. The road from there had been so obvious, they started dating, bought a home together, adopted a dog...now what? A few minutes later they were strolling up the main street towards the castle. The warm light of dusk illuminated their faces and she pulled ahead of him in a half-run to get to the castle. He pulled back on her arm, and she spun around, wondering why he was stopping her. In one smooth motion he went down on one knee and pulled out the ring they had chosen. The people all around them stopped in their tracks and paused to hear her answer. "Yes!" she cried, and he swung her around in a big bear hug. This was no fairytale ending, it was only just beginning.









Krista & Ray brought their dogs along for part of our shoot, Miles and Kobe. I can't believe that I actually caught Kobe making this face at Miles:








Krista & Ray are another successful Match.com story. We had such a great time on their shoot - we hit more locations and they changed outfits more times than any couple I have shot. When Krista told me about their ideas for the shoot - I warned her that we might be biting off more than we could chew. She said Ray's motto is "go big or go home" and I knew instantly that I was going to like him - Hubby and I embrace that motto whole-heartedly. They were awesome to shoot with and I'm really looking forward to their wedding next year - it is sure to be a fun-filled, relaxed backyard affair.
