Carrie and Phil - engagement

carrie and phil on-line proofing website

sometimes the hussel and bussel of life can make us a bit crazy let alone make us forget what's important. carrie and phil have been on a world wind tour across the globe organizing their once in a life time event...their wedding. soooooooooo, when we met for their engagement session i knew exactly the thing to do...give back, to them, some TIME.

we climbed into my jeep and headed out to the canyons of malibu. i knew exactly what they needed...to "re-connect". we found a nice field of wild mustard and set up some quiet time.




probably the BEST thing for carrie and phil and fortunately for me, just what i was looking to capture for them. i have to say, i enjoyed watching the two of them shed their stress right before me and see them enjoy the simpler things... like being in each others arms under an umbrella in the middle of no where!

i often talk about giving a few minutes to our brides and grooms so that they can take it all in or "exhale". well, i left carrie and phil alone a bit longer this time to really give them some quality time before getting back into the thick of things.







the images, i believe, reflect a serene time in their wedding preparations that transfers so nicely on film.

i enjoyed my time with carrie and phil and so look forward to sharing in their wedding day festivities REAL soon.
