Melissa & Allen: Engagement

I have ALWAYS wanted to do a "snowy" engagement shoot. It's been on my list for awhile. As you all know, it doesn't snow much here in chico. It does of course up the hill in the mountains, but it's really hit and miss. And of course you have to find a couple willing to drive 30mins in the cold on slick roads. Anways...with that said, can you imagine just how excited I was when this shoot worked out!?

When Melissa and I first met and talked about her wedding and engagement photos, she was actually the one who expressed that she would really like a snow shoot. I was all for it!! Her engagement shoot was first scheduled in early December. Due to the weather and me being sick, that one didn't work out. We rescheduled it for just a few weeks ago and I'm so glad we did! If not, we still would have shot in the location...but there would have been no snow :(

We shot in forest ranch at my grandparents. I'm pretty spoiled to have awesome grandparents, that have a gorgeous house on lots of land. It was just beautiful up there and the snow was sooooo pretty! As pretty as snow is...as you know, it's VERY cold. Melissa and Allen were troopers, they pushed through their shoot in the cold with big smiles and were amazing!

I'm so happy with how the photos turned out. Snow reflects the light so well and I love that! Enjoy my favorites from the day :) M & A, can't wait to shoot your wedding this May!!
