When I first met Tabi at the local coffee shop to discuss her wedding next year, I knew this is going to be a wedding I’ll never forget. We instantly “clicked” when I heard her ideas for their wedding. You see, we both are a fan of the old Hollywood Glam era of the 40′s. But she was doing this theme as her wedding. Her wedding!!! How cool is that?!? I shared some ideas with her and she was taking notes as if her life depended on it. We both gabbed for over an hour about details & how she imagines her wedding day to be. Over the following few months, we communicated back & forth over ideas for her & her fiance Aaron’s engagement session. They knew they wanted to do a different session, something that reflects them as a couple & that shows their true love for each other & to go along with the theme of their wedding. Tabi would surprise me with text messages of the 2 dresses she picked up at a retro/vintage shop in St Louis. I fell in lOVE. She told me about her hairstyle she wanted, her makeup & then last but not least, the old vintage car they were able to use for the session! THAT’S A WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meet Tabi…. what a knockout!
Meet Aaron…{poor guy was warned about this day, but he went along with his beautiful future bride’s ideas & was a champ about it}
These shots were taken at Aaron’s family farm…
This photo reminds me of The Notebook 
This is the old vintage car they were able to get for the session…Talk about the cat’s meow!
love.
Tabi told me that Aaron has numerous mechanical problems with the cars he’s had (like me) & so I thought it would be fun to recreate a little “broke down car” scene.
Hands on her hips uh ohh… come on Aaron, what’s wrong with the car? Let’s get it started already!
YOWZA!
Can she be anymore stunning?
So divine!
After I shot this, it reminded me of a scene in the animated movie “UP” with the older couple that was soo in love. Just needed some balloons
Tabi wanted to incorporate this old photo of Aaron’s grandparents…I just love old black & white photos like this.
I’ve wanted to use this telephone booth for quite sometime now & found the perfect couple for it!
Tabi & Aaron, I want to thank you for rocking this session out like no other & trusting me with my crazy random ideas. You certainly did a truly remarkable job in front of the camera!! I know we have just under a year away before your big day, but I’m super pumped up about it & want the day to arrive now. I cannot wait to see what you guys come up with next!! Thank you for such a lovely day & I’ll never forget this session.
Always smilin’
