Scott & Maria’s Classic Downtown Engagement

As he got ready to go to work, probably not enthused to be clocking in on the weekend, he never knew that the night would alter the course of his life forever…

As the girls hopped out of the limo excitedly, dressed in heels and ready to pop the champagne, they turned around to their limo driver and insisted that he come in for a drink. Who could turn down that invitation? They went inside and sat at the bar, and he saw her. Her dark hair fell past her shoulders and her smile kept him staring. They gravitated toward each other and found themselves taking the night away, as if they’d known each other for years. And who would have thought, that at her friend’s bachelorette party years before, she’d be meeting the one who would turn her from a bachelorette, to a wife. The limo driver she’d met completely by fate, who happened to be at the right place at the right time. It’s funny how love can completely sneak up on us and knock us off our feet, in the most incredible ways. Scott and Maria are the perfect example of fate placing two people in each other’s lives, who wouldn’t even know the other existed had it not been for one enchanting night.

I had so much fun with these two, exploring Tempe in the chilly December evening and laughing/squealing every time the wind blew and chilled us to the bone. Our session started out with dark clouds and high winds, and as we took our first photos it started to rain. Hard. My heart sank for these two as we ran to take cover, with a huge umbrella and my camera tucked inside my jacket. I grabbed her ring shots while it poured outside, and we watched and waited. Then, just as abruptly as the storm began, it stopped. The clouds broke apart like the rain had never existed, and we excitedly began to shoot again. And oh my goodness, the light could not have been more perfect for us! I’m so thankful for our beautiful Arizona Winters and more for this even more beautiful couple. I can’t wait for their Tucson wedding in the Spring, and I’m so excited to see what life will bring these two! I’m so glad fate brought not only Scott and Maria together, but them to me.
