Clara and Josh - Engagement Session

Clara and Josh first met at a Halloween party in the fall of 2007. The connection was undeniable and they dated for a few months but the timing just wasn’t right and they ended up parting ways and loosing contact with each other over time. Five years later, as fate would have it, Clara was invited to a Halloween party hosted by Josh’s brother. Neither of them knew the other was coming to the party. That night, Josh’s costume of choice was a green lycra body suit that covered him from head to toe. Such a bold choice and he was cool with his decision that is until he saw the gorgeous Clara arrive at the party as a cute cowgirl and he immediately knew why his brother told him to go as a cowboy. So he quickly changed into his regular clothes and went over and talked to her and of course it was instant connection. They hit it off again but the timing still wasn’t right. Over the course of the next year both of their lives changed and in October of 2013 Josh knew he couldn’t stand another day without Clara in his life so he woke up one morning and decided to text her out for a date. He asked her out to dinner and a trip to a Haunted House and his time the timing was perfect and the rest is history!

Now engaged it’s only fitting that their wedding be in October to celebrate the time of year they fell in love! One look at Clara and Josh as a couple and you can tell they were meant to be together. They’re cute and goofy with each other, they support each other in every area and their love is so genuine it’s almost tangible. I had the privilege to drive up north to Sedona, AZ for a fun afternoon Engagement session with them at Los Abrigados Resort and Red Rock Crossing. The afternoon lighting was perfect and I couldn’t be happier with the locations we chose!

We couldn’t take advantage of the resort’s creek side as they had an afternoon wedding set-up but we did manage to grab a few shots in the lawn before deciding to head out to another location.



As we were walking back to the car I couldn’t help but notice the gorgeous warm light pouring through this little stair way and we managed to take a few casual pictures on the steps. These were some of my favorites.





For those of you that might not know, Josh is a huge comic book fan and of course Clara had to join in the Batman fun :)






We headed up to Red Rock crossing about an hour before sunset and the views were priceless! Everywhere you look there’s a secret corner begging to be photographed!



I love these under the tree! You can see just how sweet and deep their love is for each other!




The spring flowers were so cozy! Such an inviting landscape and gorgeous spot for them to snuggle up!


 Sedona is known for its Red Rocks!






Another secret hideaway with the most amazing light and some of my favorite photos from the session!




Lastly the Red Rock Crossing bedrocks! We had a little hike, and I had an adventure with the creek but after walking a short distance we arrived at the bedrocks! I love these shots, you can see the joy and silliness they bring out of each other and the undeniable love they carry for one another. I am so exciting for their upcoming wedding! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together!
