Welcome to my blog-site...and thanks for stopping by!

I decided to combine my blog and website to offer the best of both worlds all at the same place. This is where I’ll share sneak peaks from my most recent photo sessions as well anything else (personal or business-related) I feel inspired to share with you. Whether you are a client, photographer, friend or family I hope this blog-site helps you get to know me and stay in touch with what’s happening at Daphne Photo Studio. I love comments, so don’t be shy!

Andrea & Scott ~ engaged

Posted on August 2, 2008

My cousin Andrea did not feel like going out, but it had been a long time tradition for her and a group of friends to go out every August to celebrate their birthdays…so her friend FINALLY convinced her and she ended up out on the town. Little did she know that she was going to meet her soul mate that night. Scott just happened to be a friend of a friend who came out to celebrate with the group as well. They met, and even though neither of them were necessarily looking for a relationship, sparks flew. The rest is pretty much history!

I have had the privilege of watching their relationship grow from the beginning and it has been a beautiful transformation. They just recently got engaged while on a mission trip together in Brazil and are planning to get married on June 27, 2009. I think they are absolutely perfect for each other and I can’t wait for the wedding because I get to actually be a guest and party with them!

Let me just tell you that their engagement session was a BLAST! I don’t think either of them knew (Scott especially) what they were getting into when they asked me to do their session. It ended up being an all night event with a break for dinner, but it was totally worth it and Scott was a great sport. They have such great natural chemistry and it was such a pleasure to photograph a couple that is so head over heels in love.





It was REALLY hot, so they took a break to freshen up…
