Ashley and Chris’ engagement Attraction Session is featured on the La Brisa blog - http://www.labrisaphotography.com/2019/05/29/ashley-chris-attraction-session-winery-engagement-fredericksburg-tx/ (link in profile)! We had amazing access at the Becker Vineyards and they took us to a special room that stores something like 5000 barrels of wine! After taking a few shots, this image popped into my head. I know Ashley and Chris love wine. I know Ashley and Chris love each other. I love that they are such a humble couple. By placing them smaller in the frame, I wanted to show how the environment might be overwhelming and yet the focus is always on their relationship! #StoryBehindTheImage #LaBrisaPhotography #PreserveRelationships #Engagement #BeckerVineyards #LaBrisaAttractionSessions #AttractionSession #Winery #Fredericksburg (at Becker Vineyards) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByEH0i8Fgiz/?igshid=1cma2j38ioedb

After another wave of #monsoon2017 storms ripped through #Tucson, I wasn’t sure if my sunrise engagement session with @samantha.cortese and Chris would still happen. At 4am, Sam texted me and asked if we needed to cancel due to weather. I replied that I was game if they were. She responded that they wanted to give it a try and I immediately knew that it was going to be an awesome shoot because they would be up for anything! Sam and Chris are hilarious together. They are goofy, self-deprecating, sarcastic and joyful. Both are easy to laugh with and at each other. I love how much Chris seeks to protect Sam. There’s an explicit chivalrous quality to how he engages her. Sam possess an unmistakable energy filled with wittiness and happiness. I love how Sam evokes Chris’ true nature. Together, they were one of the best relationships I’ve ever photographed! 35mm | ISO 800 | f/2.8 | 1/400 Happy to answer any #photography questions! Due to the storm, I wasn’t sure if we’d even get much of a sunrise. As I was setting Sam and Chris up for my first few photos, the impending rising sun diffused gorgeous colors into the fleeting storm clouds. I wanted a dramatic pose to match the dramatic background. So I had Chris dip Sam just slightly and brush his face against her right cheek. Thanks to #magmod, I enveloped them with light to highlight their awesomeness! #StoryBehindTheImage #LaBrisaPhotography #PreserveRelationships #LoveNeverFails #GatesPass #Engagement #AttractionSession (at Gates Pass)

I was floored by how much Jake loves Sheridan. He shows a love for her that I’ve rarely seen. Both in his actions and with his words, his deference for her is chivalrous. This inbetween moment exemplifies Jake’s unfiltered happiness when he’s with her. #LaBrisaPhotography #PreserveRelationships #MHK #attractionsession #labrisaapw (at Top Of The World, Manhattan, Kansas)

When your client tells you that he’s terrified of heights as you begin hiking up the mountain, you adjust (slightly)! Thanks Matt for your willingness to ascend the mountain! Carmen and Matt are hilarious. Constantly giving each other crap and laughing at and with each other. The best thing about these two is how genuine they are together. There’s a gracious bluntness to how they communicate and interact. And that’s what makes them awesome! #LaBrisaPhotography #PreserveRelationships #AttractionSession #LoveNeverFails (at Gates Pass)

The day before their wedding and about 30 minutes before their rehearsal dinner, I met Kristi and Isaiah at #ErwinPark on an incredibly windy afternoon for their engagement session! Seeing them together was inspiring. They are grounded in their success and humbled by their incomparable love for each other. My favorite aspect of their relationship is how they act like middle schoolers falling in love when they’re together. There is a purity and genuineness to them that is rare and amazing! #LaBrisaPhotography #LoveNeverFails #PreserveRelationships #AttractionSession (at Erwin Park.)

I’ve been on a black and white trend lately and this one of Lucy and Tanner is my new favorite! They are ridiculously fun and I love how they don’t take life too seriously when they’re together! The wrinkled nose laughing kills it for me! :) #LaBrisaPhotography #Engagement #AttractionSession #PreserveRelationships #klydewarrenpark (at Klyde Warren Park)

To me, this is the visual embodiment of love. Love is interpreted in many ways, but joyfulness shared between a couple is the purest form. Lindsay and Zac are seamless together. They engulf each other with love, support and laughter! #LaBrisaPhotography #LoveNeverFails #PreserveRelationships #AttractionSession #engagement (at Striking KMA Performance Horses)

This moment is the WHY of my photography business. I strive to preserve the joyfulness of my clients’ relationships. Andrea and Matt are a vibrant, relentless and loving couple. They are “take no prisoners” type of people yet their love for each other is infallible. 85mm | ISO 400 | f/1.2 | 1/400 With my posing, I positioned people and then I have them say or do things to create the genuine interactions that showcase their awesomeness. This pose is called the #Swayze. It’s a ridiculous hip-thrust/dry hump that induces the most natural joyfulness. I stood on a step stool to shoot downwards on them because I wanted to minimize the background distractions. I just love Andrea’s full body expression. From how much she’s squeezing his arm with her left hand to her shrugged right shoulder, I can feel her laughter without even seeing her ear to ear smile. #TheStoryBehindTheImage #LaBrisaPhotography #LaBrisaAPW #AttractionSession #Tucson #WhyILoveWhereILive (at Sentinel Peak)

There's something iconically familiar and perfect about walking barefoot through the fields of Kansas with the sky exploding in god-painted colors while your forever plus 1 holds your hand and gives you the look that reassures you that there is no place he'd rather be than right here, right now with you. Morgan and Ben's relationship possesses an undeniable energy that is felt by everyone near them. Within the chaos of life, they find calm with each other. They had one of my most unique #AttractionSession ever because of the locations, the company and how legitimately ethereal they are together. 24mm | ISO 320 | f/2.0 | 1/500 Happy to answer any #photography questions! On the way down the hill from this photo, Ben told me that one of the main reasons Morgan hired me as their photographer was because of my sunset images. That made me even more excited for this photo because the sunset cooperated perfectly to highlight Morgan and Ben's relationship. After the sun actually set, the sky turned into a progressive canvas of gorgeous colors. I love how Morgan is just beaming. Her face, her smile, her skin tones and her dress just POP. I love how Morgan's hair is blowing in the gentle breeze. I love how Ben is giving her that reaffirming look that says "I got you and I won't let you go." I love the strength of how Ben is standing yet the softness of how he's holding Morgan's hand. A huge thanks to @bailey.pianalto for lighting them perfectly. #StoryBehindTheImage #LaBrisaPhotography #PreserveRelationships #LoveNeverFails #MagMod #Engagement #Love #Ido (at La Brisa Photography)

@samantha.cortese and Chris’ ridiculously fun, inappropriate and awesome engagement Attraction Session in Tucson is featured on the La Brisa blog!!! http://www.labrisaphotography.com/2017/09/05/samantha-cortese-chris-divincenzo-tucson-engagement/ (link in profile) One of my favorite parts of the shoot was when Sam surprised Chris with his game jersey from the Rose Bowl that she purchased from ebay and hid from him for the past 6 months! He was so shocked and Sam was so giddy. It was a perfect surprise and just shows the thoughtfulness and the depth of their relationship! 85mm | ISO 50 | f/2.0 | 1/320 Happy to answer any #photography questions! I loved how much Sam and Chris laugh together. So after they changed into their college attire, I couldn’t help but going to the classic piggyback pose to showcase their personalities. I asked Chris to bounce the crap out of Sam as they walked to achieve their genuine elation! I then edited it in black and white to minimize any color distractions so that you only focus on their awesome expressions! Sam's unguarded joyfulness steals the image! #StoryBehindTheImage #LaBrisaPhotography #PreserveRelationships #LoveNeverFails #MercadoSanAgustin #Tucson #Engagement #AttractionSession #WhyILoveWhereILive (at Mercado San Agustin)

Jordan and Tyler’s Attraction Session in Manhattan, KS is shared on the La Brisa blog! For their engagement photos, we headed to their elementary school where they initially met. I love the youth and exuberance of their relationship! These two are getting married this Saturday and I’m so excited to celebrate with them! I shared their session on the La Brisa blog! http://www.labrisaphotography.com/2017/04/06/jordan-tyler-attraction-session-manhattan-ks-chris-hsieh/ (link in profile) 85mm | f/2.0 | ISO 200 | 1/250 Ask any questions! Happy to help! The temperature ranged from frigid to tundra-esque when the wind kicked up during their shoot. So, I tried to find an area that blocked the wind as much as possible. At their elementary school, there was this beautiful limestone wall that provided the perfect contrast to their outfits. I love both of their genuine expressions of happiness and how the colors just pop. #StoryBehindTheImage #LaBrisaPhotography #PreserveRelationships #MHK #ManhattanKS #AttractionSession #engagement (at Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School)

I love how much Morgan and Chris act as if they were just married yesterday. From their witty banter to their affectionate body language, their relationship is bold and effortless.   Morgan and Chris’ Attraction Session is shared on the La Brisa blog - http://www.labrisaphotography.com/2018/08/25/home-engagement-session-olathe-ks/ (Link in profile) #LaBrisaPhotography #PreserveRelationships #LaBrisaAPW #AttractionSession #Olathe (at Olathe, Kansas)

One of my very favorite parts about traveling for photography is challenging myself to see locations differently! I always tell my clients that all I need are their relationships to create great images. As collegiate track athletes, I wanted to showcase Lucy and Tanner in motion. I feel like these two are always battling against the grain. They are launching their own businesses and taking on the world, together! I knew an image of Lucy and Tanner running against the one-way sign perfectly depicts their relationship in every way! #LaBrisaPhotography #AttractionSession #PreserveRelationships #Dallas (at Downtown Dallas)

Lendy and Brandon. Quick to laugh. Easy to love. Ridiculously inappropriately awesome. Engaged until 2020. #LaBrisaPhotography #LoveNeverFails #PreserveRelationships #AttractionSession (at Boulder, Colorado)

Last weekend I hosted one of my free Aspiring Photographer Workshops (APW) in #Indianapolis! Thankfully, the rain stopped right before we started and held off until we finished. Bailey and Isaiah were an absolutely perfect couple for the shoot. Their energy and enthusiasm for each other created incredibly natural interactions and expressions. Bailey’s stunning hair contrasted beautifully with her burgundy dress. I wanted to showcase Isaiah’s chivalrous nature by having him lead her down the steps while Bailey played with her hair. I love Bailey’s expression as she glances at the camera while Isaiah remains steadfast and calm. Together, they are power and feminine grace. #StoryBehindTheImage More of their images are shared on the La Brisa blog - http://www.labrisaphotography.com/2016/10/04/bailey-isaiah-apw-attraction-session-indianapolis-chris-hsieh/ (link in profile) #LaBrisaPhotography #AttractionSession #ShootThroughTheMoment #LaBrisaAPW #PreserveRelationships (at La Brisa Photography)
