Lorena + Alex - A Stow Lake Engagement

I arrived at Stow Lake early to scout out the area. I've never been there before and wanted to find the good spots, or at least the spots that came up on Google images. After an hour, or so, of walking around, I had no success in finding those spots.

Lorena and Alex finally arrived and we jumped right into their session. Well, only because the waterfall was right there as we were walking in. :)

Lorena's sister, Adela, actually did her makeup for this session. Didn't she do great?! I'm loving the wind that blew through her hair on this one. High five, Mother Nature!

I may have mentioned this in my sneak peek post, but the way that Alex proposed to Lorena was simply romantic! He had a brick engraved at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium with the proposal. The day they went to Dallas to watch a game, Alex was stuck trying to find the location of the brick, while Lorena struggled to stay cool in the hot Texas heat. Here's a replica of the proposal brick.

Stow Lake had some really cool spots, like this huge branch that made a perfect arch.

And this bridge!

Lorena + Alex plan on getting married next Spring/Summer. I can't wait! I'm beginning to feel like I'm a part of their family :)

Here's a little video of their engagement session.

Day 30...Part two

Okay, it's actually day 31. I don't know if I can part with this challenge. :(

If you stopped by yesterday, you would have seen that I miscalculated day 30 and was thinking that it was going to be today. I thought that it came at a perfect time because I was going to attend Mike Colón's workshop...which I did. :)

I don't want to get into too much detail (as I'll save that for another post), but I'm SOOOOO glad that I went! It's fun and awesome getting to learn from a veteran photographer, especially in person, but it's freaking outstanding when that photographer has shot celebrity weddings all around the world and is such a laid back awesome guy. Definitely invested my money in the right place.

Here's a sneak peek of what I got...

Day 30...The end, part one

No, I didn't take a photo today. I actually miscalculated the last day. You see, I have something special planned for tomorrow and I thought that it came at a good time because it was going to be the last day. Wrong!

Anyhow, tomorrow I'll be attending Mike Colón's 1-day workshop in Oakland. Yay!!! I am super excited to meet him and learn from him. His work is great and I love his personality! Can't wait....

Please come back tomorrow to see a sneak peek from the workshop!

Day 29...Almost done + Another sneak peek

Wow...30 days almost done. Whew! Where has the time gone? Doesn't it seem like the days go by quicker as we get older? Ugh...

Anyhow... I'm soooooo in LOVE with my photos from Lorena and Alex's Stow Lake engagement session that I'd like to post another sneak peek :)

Watch out....here comes the cutest story EVER!!!! The brick above...that's how Alex proposed to Lorena. They both LOVE the Dallas Cowboys. A few years ago when the Cowboys built a new stadium, he bought a brick and had the above engraved. As they traveled to Texas to attend a game, Alex was staring at the ground trying to find the brick while Lorena suffered from the heat. Lol! I feel ya Lorena, I hate the heat!

Anyhow, he found it and proposed to her. :) Isn't that SOOOOO sweet?? He thought engraving a brick at the Cowboys stadium would be great for their future kids and grand kids to visit. Ugh...Alex, you're such a romantic! :)

And because Alex is the cutest...

It was supposed to be a "serious" photo, but he couldn't stop laughing. It's okay though because I LOVE laughing photos :)

Day 28...Just not feeling it today

I'm cheating on this challenge for 1-this isn't a photo captured through my DSLR; 2- I've already posted this picture on my Instagram; 3- eh...

Hope this makes you get the late night munchies :)

Day 27...My fave things #3

My Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eyeliner in Black. I freakin' love this thing!! :)
