dave & taryn's enagement shoot -take 2 :)

dave & taryn. i love these two. they are so much fun to be with. so a few nights ago we scheduled a lil play date to have another go at their engagement shoot. if you remember they had the awesome idea of doing a cooking class... but the head chef gave them jobs on opposite sides of the kitchen which makes life for me, the photograper, a little challenging :)

well, they wanted to do the shoot at the botanical garden, which was awesome with all of chihuly's glass!!!! but crowded, shuey. the garden was swinging for a tuesday night.

here are a few of my favorites!

dave proved his manliness during this picture- a cute pointy cactus was snuggling with him.


this is definitely the time of year that the desert comes alive. the greenery & wildflowers were fantastic.




i think this one is so cute!


see, the wildflowers were perfect... for dancing.


yummy.


life. is. good.


i love the wrinkley noses!!!!!!!!


it was a very gray day, but the sunset was cotton candy!




we stayed to see the garden & glass light up & it was spectacular... you must go.

*we had to be a lil sneaky for this one, but one of my favorite professors said "it's always better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission."

& i love it. thanks for being dare devils!


and for being patient while i made you stand like statues :)


and i'll end the post with possibly my favorite from the shoot. they both love the garden & i think it shouts lovers in phoenix!!!


i am so excited for your wedding... that may be an understatement. yep, i do believe it is.
