A Touch of Vintage | Andrew & Tara

So back at school when I worked at the photo-lab, I always loved getting to know the new crop of noobs that would come through every semester. This would be where Andrew entered, complete with fedora hat and Bon Iver; he was a mutual friend of my art-dept. friends. Somehow, not even exactly sure how, we ended up as texting buddies...random travel-pictures, late-night homework groanings, hilarious one-liners we'd see, whatever, we'd send 'em on, laugh, and carry on with life.

One day, I remember him developing some sweet looking pictures from a coffee shop and he told me all about the Camp House. This kid had an affinity for coffee, so why was I not surprised when I found out where he'd proposed to his awesome girlfriend? Lol, you guessed it, the Camp House. I met Tara randomly in and out throughout the year, and she was always so cool. Got to know her more during the engagement shoot: EVEN COOLER. This chic is too cute, and so easy-going (and just as much into coffee as he was ;-).

These guys are such an awesome couple; we had a blast! They wanted "a touch of vintage" in their shoot, so I enjoyed working with the [sweet] props they brought and trying a few different looks in post. I'd tried my hand at vintage really for the first time during Danny and Ashley's shoot. What they were looking for was something just a tiiitch more subtle; let's see if we hit any marks =)

After the fields, we were off to downtown Chatt. Ten points if you can guess where this is ;-) A band was warming up and the staff graciously let us rearrange furniture to our heart's content:











Now what vintage shoot isn't made all the CUTER with a bike?? It's a (Lemme get this right...he texted what it was)-- a vintage Sears beach cruiser bike. Like a boss, right?






=) We closed off with a bit of noir, and we were off.

Love you guys!! Cheers to much coffee and laughing ahead =P
