Eli & Sawana's Engagement Shoot

We met Sawana in October while shooting a wedding in which she was a bridesmaid. She contacted us in December about her upcoming wedding to Eli. We are thrilled that they decided to use us as their official photographers!

We did their Engagement Session today at Scottsdale Civic Center. Sawana was excited about the LOVE statue there, because they had seen the one in Philadelphia together.

Unbeknownst to us, there was a big Art Show going on and there were people everywhere. Sawana and Eli were so cool and fun, they didn't seem to mind at all that people were watching us!

We went over to the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and photographed them at "Knight Rise" inside the museum. I managed to capture this shot of them acting goofy, and it's one of my favorite shots from the day. I laugh out loud every time I look at it...

After the shoot, the four of us went and had dinner together, which was great. It gave us a chance to talk about the wedding and get to know each other better.

Sawana and Eli are a really great couple. We had a blast with them, and we're really looking forward to shooting their wedding in April.
