Here are the rest of the surprise engagement-turned engagement session that we did in the Bahamas last month.

cutes!

who wouldn’t want to be dipped in the middle of this gorgeous setting. really?

hello sparkly goodness!

beau’s fav.

def my favorite of the day!!

nik proposed to ashley at the top of ponce inlet lighthouse. so we decided to start there. then once we were completely melted from the wonderful florida heat, we moved onto the beach.

something sweet about this one that i really liked.

i loved ashley’s pink bike! it reminded me of my huffy-banana-seat-streamers-coming-from-the-handles-pink-bike that i had when i was younger.

i love how this one feels like the ending of a nice romantic movie. well in this case it would be a romantic comedy

we could have shot under this pier the whole day. what gorgeous light!

i am pretty sure that they said they were not photogenic. YAH RIGHT!

grrrr.

hot stuffs!

run beau run

here i was praying not to get pooped on.

thank you lady for feeding all of those seagulls for us

this is kinda of a sneak peek post. there is another part to it, but i wanted to get to the juicy part first.

when we planned a trip to the bahamas with our good friends, niki and marcus, niki had asked us if we would do a just because session while we were there. well lets think. hmm. on the beach, in the bahamas, OF COURSE!

BUT, marcus had another plan.

reaching for the ring out of his pocket.

im pretty sure niki is still in shock here.

YES!

I found out the night before the shoot. I kinda felt like this lady from in this SNL clip the whole time during the shoot:

we met up with this gorgeous pair over at casa feliz to do their engagements. pretty much they were just there for us to take their pictures. really. we had to give ZERO direction. thanks for making our job super easy you two!

dear mauro, please thank your dad for all the years he made you pose for him. you rocked it!
thank you. brandy+beau

i am pretty sure beau has picked up on my shoe fetish.

i sure wish i had roslyn’s legs. hello!

thank you wind for blowing in roslyn’s hair just right.

i love pictures like this one. it makes you feel like this is what they are like when they are alone.

i could def see this one as a canvas. but that is just me.

they threw on their fav jerseys and we had some fun.

i heart my shoes, they are from my wedding. i was all about getting shoes i would wear again

he is all mine <3

and I am all his

Dan and Rachel are a husband and wife photography team up in Cedar Falls, Iowa.  So of course when they contacted us to do their photos, we were well…nervous? Scratch that, I was nervous. Beau is always the calm and collected of the two of us. And I just talk a million miles a minute when I am all nervous. Beau has to squeeze my leg under the table to let me know. There the secret is out, I am a nervous talker. Every session I get all jittery, hence the reason I can’t drink coffee at least 3 day prior to a session. But especially with these two, because they are photographers.  But the moment we met up with them, I was fine.

We only had this one day to do the session, they were leaving the next day to go back home. We crossed our fingers that Florida’s skies wouldn’t do the typically afternoon rain dump. And then we added some fairy dust to help with a possible sunset for the beach shots.  I have a friend of a friend who knows Tinkerbell, so we get hook ups of fairy dust every now and again.

Dan just covered Rachel in kisses all day! I love love. (Is that a real sentence?)

Idea credit: rachel (:

gorgeousness!

I adore this shot. We were so excited that we had a little color in the sky. Didn’t think that we were going to get anymore than that.

grrrrrr.

And then BAM. The sun came out in full force with a stunning sunset.

these guys were hilarious. so of course we had to get a picture of them.

doesn’t it look like beau is laying in traffic?

beau likes to shoot from the ground a lot.

just one for now…more to come.

Tyler and Krisia like to fish, so what’s better than to have a nice little ole fishing inspired shoot.

I am pretty sure this is my favorite ring shot of all time now!

There were a thousand of these little guys just waiting to be fed.

Her eyes matched his shirt. Purrrty!!

Yah…if you can see, Beau has shaved his head. I likey

I can’t reiterate this enough, but it is so awesome when we meet couples that we “click” with right away. Oh and did I mention they love sushi as much as we do!! Thanks again for the din din guys!

Meet the love birds: Shannon and Tyler!!

I love laughing pictures. Well, purely because of selfish reasons. Obviously, because they make me feel like I am super funny!

Hello blue eyes!

Again, laughing…love it!

Beau in action.

This shot was taken obviously using the B-Squared stack.

My favorite!

Weeee!

There was no wind. So Beau had to blow on it to make it turn. HA!

Actually this is my favorite too! I am a girl. We are allow to have more than one favorite!!

Beau’s wide shot. I love his perspective.

And they lived happily ever after with two new friends
