Jacob & Rebecca are possibly the nicest couple I have worked with thus far.  My clients do become my friends, and this couple is the perfect example.  Jacob had actually made the initial contact and setup the first meeting.  This was a bit strange since it’s the girl that almost always contacts the photographer.  However, later I found out that Jake was actually taking charge of doing a lot of the work, just so it would be less stressful for the Becca.  What a nice guy.  When I finally met them for the first time, I immediately knew that it would be a pleasure working with them.

They are both students, and were on a tight budget for the whole wedding.  The venue they had booked for the wedding was a gorgeous house that Jake’s friend currently owns.  For their Engagement session, we decided to use the same house and some surrounding areas.  This session was fun, because we were all just goofing off, and I pretty much got a tour of the incredible house along the way.  All in all, this was one of my favorite E-sessions.

Looks like the Holidays came early for me this year 😀   I’ve used the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS for a few weddings, and I instantly fell in love with it.  The lens is perfect for portraits and telephoto work.  The lens weighs about 4lbs alone… and it’s a real drag during those long weddings.  However, the images this puppy produces is well worth the extra weight.  This year, I finally decided to splurge and get this wonderful lens for myself.  I am super excited, and can’t wait to test it out at the next wedding this coming week.

From everyone here at Limon Photography, I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Holiday!

Roxxxxannnnee… you don’t have to put on the red light.  Roxxxanne….you don’t ha… oh, sorry forgot this was a blog and not my shower.  Um.. on with the post:

A young and shy girl by the name of Roxanne came to us and wanted some professional looking portraits done.  Her fiance was stationed in Iraq, and she wanted to send him some nice pictures for his birthday.  I thought that it was a very nice gesture, and I wanted to help her get some great pics.  She wanted some nice portraits, but nothing too formal.  Contemporary portraits… got it.  She was also quite shy and had never done a photo shoot, so it took a few minutes to work the Sahid charm and get her to relax and have fun.  By the end of the day, she was directing me and suggesting shots!  Half way through the shot, I thought it would be cool to incorporate an Army theme. I decided to get my US Army jacket and my aviators, and let her rock them for the shoot. All in all, I had a great time with Roxxanne, and we got some killer pictures.  The picture where she’s standing in the middle of the road with her hands behind her (#8)… is still one of my all time favorite shots.

The look on her face when she saw the final pictures… priceless.
