 Hansa & Jacob- Love Session in Payson, Arizona

 

You may remember Hansa and Jacob from this underwater session . Hansa is a friend of mine from high school and both her and Jacob are quite the naturals in front of the camera!

They invited me to come along with them to Jacob's family cabin outside of Payson, Arizona for a session. They got married in a small ceremony at the same cabin in an adorable, intimate ceremony.

Hansa is a interdisciplinary graduate student at Arizona State researching the effects of antiboitics in fish and subsequent consumption by humans. She is also is an accomplished violinist, which is how I met her in my orchestra days in high school. She plays for weddings, so if you are in need of a violinist, she is a wonderful player!Jacob is in the law school at Arizona State and will graduate in a year or two.

They are wonderful people to hang out with and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them and seeing their beautiful cabin and the surrounding area! It is always a pleasure to get out of town for some different scenery. I always encourage clients that if they can get out of the valley for some sessions, it lends a completely different look to sessions. Even just a short hour drive away can make a mountain of difference!

 Sara & Brandon

 

Sara and Brandon's flexibility and easy-goingness are two of the many great qualities I learned when meeting and shooting with them. Brandon had his proposal all planned out, fancy dinner and the whole nine yards, but when Sara got home, the last thing on her mind was getting dressed up and going out. Instead of panicking, Brandon kept his proposal simple, opting for a simple card which he often gave her "just because". He also has a fantastic memory because he proposed on the day he first said "I love you". I give him props because I barely remember what I did 20 minutes ago!

Originally, we had planned the session to be at different locations and to include Sara & Brandon's cat in the photos. They got him when they first started dating and he is a big part of their life, but he had other ideas. After a few escape attempts, we decided to just do the shoot at their apartment complex (which was GORGEOUS!) and leave their cat out of them. The complex had a vineyard (what apartment complex you know has a vineyard?) and I was so lucky to have Sara & Brandon be so flexible. Thank you guys, and I hope you love the images!
