Magic. It’s the type of night that I dream about, something that makes me hyperventilate a wee bit and it’s just really the best thing. Ever. This night was a perfect storm of awesome-ness and it began with a solo concert in the woods. You see, Brett and Allison are both talented classical guitarists; Brett actually teaches at a university level. They took their guitars out and I can honestly say that I didn’t expect it to sound so wonderful. No, I didn’t doubt their musical prowess, I guess I have just never heard a guitar sound so beautiful. It was crisp and clean and powerful and I had trouble um, focusing, (pun! yeah!) on the task at hand without being distracted by such glorious music. What made my night, and subsequently my week, was asking if Brett knew the tune to the Princess Bride theme… Oh yes. I played maybe 10 sec of the song for him, and right there, without any prompting, without any sheet music, he played it back to me. I told them I would be playing it on repeat for a while and every time I looked at their pictures, I would play it again. I’m playing it right now actually and it reminds me of the magic. The animals seemed to know as well because we were greeted by several deer, a beaver and of course the ducks and geese. Yet again, I feel so lucky to meet, work with and befriend such incredible people. I love telling your stories. That is simply the heart of what I do. Enjoy!
Gorgeous Sarah! The light, the couple, the private concert – what a beautiful session 🙂
Oh my gosh, I love the guitars! Such an adorable couple, you captured them perfectly!
That does sound magical! And you captured them so beautifully too–I could almost hear the music. 🙂 Especially loved the ring shot on the guitar and their reflections on the lake!
oh my goodness! so, so dreamy! and to be serenaded with beautiful music as you shoot – awesome:) i know what you mean about that amazement when a true musician can just hear something, then play it immediately. i’ve always been astounded by that! my dad was the same way with the guitar. these engagement images are beautiful, and i love all the ways you got creative with them! great work especially on the ring shot and the water reflections!
So beautiful, killer ring shot!!
