As Larissa sat crouching in the dark, hiding in the bushes, her nervousness increased as she heard someone getting closer and closer. She tried to keep quiet but that didn’t stop Jamison from finding her; then again, you simply can’t stop fate can you.
Sardines was the game they were playing and if you’ve never played, it’s like reverse hide-‘n-seek: one person hides and everyone looks for that one person. If you find the person hiding, you hide with them until everyone in the group is hiding.
As fate would work its magic, Larissa and Jamison spent the next 30-minutes huddled together in the bushes getting to know one another in the still of the dark night. And now, time has passed allowing them to get to know one another even better. Love has grown, and one day they will get to tell their grandkids how they met in the bushes. Literally.
Photographing Larissa and Jamison’s engagements was such fun. Given how they met (and their subsequent involvement in a dodge ball league together) its obvious part of the foundation of their relationship is built on playing games and having fun together. What a fabulous foundation to have!
Needless to say, I’m super stoked and honored to be shooting their wedding at the Logan Temple this June.
You may not be able to tell from the photos, but the morning of our session a huge spring storm had arrived in Utah. In fact, we were photographing through snow flurries and rain in the beginning of our session! Jamison and Larissa were great troopers though, but when we came across a darling little tea shop, we ducked inside to get warmed up. A little raspberry herbal tea was just the ticket too.
I just love this last series. Don’t they look like they’re getting ready, and then jumping into life together? Perfection.
