Heather & Donnie

What a refreshing engagement session to photograph! After returning from a nice vacation in Canada, and being inspired from hanging around some of the top photographers in the country, I was really hoping for a great couple that would be fun to photograph!

And along came Donnie and Heather!

Their engagement session has been a long time in the making, but was totally worth the wait! We had incredible light to work with, and Heather and Donnie were amazing to photograph! I tell my clients this over and over, and it still remains true: If you act like you like each other, the pictures are so much better!

The cool thing was, Heather and Donnie didn't have to "act" - they are absolutely in love with each other and it showed in the images!















I love this series of three images! The emotions are amazing!








We went to this next location and got some great images including these below. On our way out, a police detective drove by and let us know that the area we were photographing in was rampant with wanna-be thieves and gang members.... Oops! Well, fortunately we didn't run into any trouble!











Congratulations to Donnie and Heather on their engagement and upcoming wedding!

Nathan, those images are amazing! You are such a rockstar. It was so fun to see you and Amber this past week and I can't wait to hang out in LA! I'm SO mad that we forgot to give you your birthday present before you left yesterday and that we didn't get to say goodbye to Austen and Addison. Love to all of you!
