Yayayayayay! I love Leslie and Brian so much, it's hard to believe they were clients before they were friends. Earlier this summer, a friend sent me a link to this Sick Jacken video, and immediately my mind started spinning. Hmmm... I love Dia de Los Muertos. It reminds me of my childhood in Santa Fe. Which of my clients would ever be down with a Dia de los Muertos - themed shoot? Of course - Leslie and Brian! The bride and groom with the zombie cake topper and stars of this awesome engagement session! So then, my mind was overwhelmed with a hundred ideas, and I've been looking forward to this shoot for what felt like forever. We had an amazing fall day with luscious light and during the shoot, I kept repeating, "OMG, I'm so excited right now, " like a mantra. This has definitely been one of my favorites. If you're a little creeped out... good, that was the goal. Thanks, Dad, for the ristras - you're right, they did come in handy. Thanks, Matt, for the inspirational vid, and thanks to the lovely Rachelle for her makeup talents. But mostly- Leslie & Brian - overwhelming, overflowing, mass quantities of gratitude. Oh yeah... did I mention this is just part one? :)
