Nikki & Ben ~ This is your start {Visalia, CA Engagement Session}

OMG! I had soooooo much fun doing this session! Nikki & Ben were so fun and I could really feel the love between the two of them. They are best friends that fell in love and it shows throughout every one of their photos.

I have seen so many great engagement photos via Pinterest and got some amazing ideas from fellow photographers. I just HAD to make the a-frame tent you see in some of these images…. I am so glad I did!

If you are a follower of mine on Facebook, then you may have seen that I have been talking about a lot of improvement for each session. One of the things I am doing now is creating a personalized slideshow of your images set to music. You get to view your slideshow at your session premiere in your home while you eat a yummy dessert from The Frosted Muffin. Nikki & Ben’s slideshow has to be one of my favorites to date! I was up all hours of the night working on it, but I think it was worth it – especially watching Nikki & Ben’s reactions as they smiled, laughed, and nearly cried while they saw all of their images for the first time set to “their” song.


Nikki & Ben, I am so sad that I won’t be able to take photos of your big day, but I cannot thank you enough for the pleasure of being a part of the anticipation of the day you become One Flesh. This is your start. I hope that anytime you have a difficult day or an argument that you will look at these beautiful images and see how in love you two are. Remember, love is a choice. Make that choice each day and your marriage will only get stronger with time.

Your New Friend,
Christina

P.S.

I’ll be posting more of their session’s photos soon!

Tara - May 1, 2013 - 4:35 pm

Christina, these are so beautiful and romantic! Love the shot of the boots off! I’m sure this happy couple LOVES these!

Nikki - May 1, 2013 - 5:39 pm

I still can’t get enough of these photos. You are an amazing photographer with endless talent! Thank you so much for giving us amazing memories to share with our friends and families for years to come.

Idie - May 1, 2013 - 8:13 pm

These are great, Christina! I really enjoyed watching their slideshow, too. You can feel the love. :)
