our engagement pics

February 27 2009

Let me start out this blog by saying since all you couples out there continue to allow me to blog and share your images with the world that it was only fair that when the day came for Kris Ann & myself to share ours we would. Last week we we’re in Las Vegas for WPPI, food & fun but also to have our engagement session done. I believe WPPI drew an astounding number of photographers this year, somewhere over 14,000 I think. I also strongly believe we had one of the best photographers within that 14,000 shoot our stuff. That’s just how I roll the dice……..

So if you remember I proposed to Kris Ann last July and she said yes. Well since then the most common question people ask me when talking about our wedding is “So, who’s going to shoot your wedding?” So the million-dollar question can finally be answered. Jessica Claire, I first stumbled on Jessica’s blog sometime last April and fell in love with her eye. Without a doubt in mind I was like, when I get married some day I’m hiring this girl. I got to say going into this shoot I was a little nervous or had just this funny feeling at first to be in front of the camera. I’m just not used to it, but with Jess I didn’t have to think about lenses or f-stops and that made me really at ease. As you’ll see below, she killed it. Man I knew these images would be great but wow! I’m glad to say that I experienced that level of excitement when viewing these images that I only hope to deliver to you all when I post yours!

Enjoy,

JP

All 30 (huge post) can be found on Jessica’s blog, one that I enjoy following.

Seriously, how beautiful is the girl I’m marrying? 

what vegas is all about

nah, this is what vegas is all about

What a fun little series.

I knew Jess would crop off the S, so I grabbed the booty.

a little wardrobe change… boooya!

Look at those shoes!

The good light right here.

This image is just killer, Kris Ann looks awesome.

    I never leave comments, although LOVE all the great shots seen on the blog. However, this one definintely requires I come out of my lo-tech comfort zone to say CONGRATULATIONS! I’m thrilled for you and hope you’ve seen enough of the “hoopla” that surrounds weddings to know it’s best to relax, enjoy the process and keep your eye on the end result…a happily married couple! Best wishes to you both! Only problen I see, as I told your dad, is that unfortunately, you’ll have to settle for NOT having the NUMBER ONE photo team doing your wedding :)

  • WOW! I leave town for a quick vacation and you pop the question 2 days later! Now I understand why you looked at me so strangely when I recently mentioned shooting your wedding. Suddenly, it all makes perfect sense.

    Blessings, AL

  • Yay! I’ll never forget the day (three and a half years ago) I was with Kris Ann and we ran into Joe at a bridal show. I asked him a few questions about his amazing work and we went on our way -meanwhile Kris Ann informs me that she and Joe have worked together in the past ect… that is when I looked her in the eye and said “Kris Ann! you need to marry him!” :-)…I knew you two were a match and am so happy for the both of you!

    Congrats,
    Nicole
