Back in July, Elisha Braithwaite of EB Photography opened a giveaway for a free shoot with her in honor of a new full-frame camera she had just bought, with preference given to people who were already married or who had never gotten pictures done. I had been following her on Instagram for a few weeks and I, no joke, almost jumped straight up into the air when I saw her post about it. She invited interested couples to email her pictures and a blurb of why they wanted a shoot.
I typed that email up like a madman. I have told myself since our engaged days that I would get pictures of Ryan and I. Because of budget restraints, Ryan and I didn't get engagements. Our announcement photo was one my dad took in our back yard. I wanted professional pictures of this blissful, amazing time of life so badly, and Elisha's giveaway literally felt like a miracle! After a few days I got a response from Elisha saying that she would love to photograph us for our anniversary! AHH I almost died of happiness. Ryan didn't understand what the fuss was all about, but he just doesn't get how much pictures mean to me. [: I'm so lucky to have a guy who is willing to do things that he knows make me happy, even if he's not super thrilled about it.
Elisha and her boy were the coolest people to hang out with! We had so much fun with them. Heck, I'll take any excuse to make googlie eyes and kiss my husband for an hour. Elisha was the perfect mix of letting us do our own thing, while still giving us pose ideas so we didn't look like awkward weirdos. For the most part, the shoot was totally candid, which is everything I wanted.
I love the love I have with this guy, and I love having pictures that show it. I am so happy with these.
I just love this green-eyed boy.
Elisha is a fantastic, talented photographer and her images are not only beautiful, but needle-sharp due to the fantastic camera she's chosen (I appreciate things like that). She is the sweetest person ever and is so fun to hang out with! She shoots in the Northern Utah region and loves travel. Hook up with her if you're reading this and like her stuff. [:
