Mountain View Cemetery Engagement: Eric & Laura
Posted April 16, 2014 at 10:00 am in Mountain View Cemetery Engagement
After a lengthy break, going up today are Eric and Laura’s Mountain View Cemetery engagement photos! I know cemeteries are a controversial topic out there, but when you visit this place, it’s clear that it’s really more of a park with gravestones. It’s a favorite jogging place and even advertises on its website that it’s a great place for families to visit on the weekends. I’ve even seen a wedding done there!
Eric and Laura went on their first date at Mountain View Cemetery, and so they wanted to continue the trend by taking their engagement photos there. Despite rush hour’s best efforts to derail me, we had a pleasant stroll through the place. Up hills…down hills…watching dogs run around…and, most importantly, making faces at each other! It was so much fun; plus the lighting was gorgeous! I’m not sure I’ve ever had more fun with a couple! Their wedding later was equally awesome. Keep an eye out for those photos!
First, we start out with a nice showcase of the location…
Already, you can see their both hilarious and sweet natures emerging!
We did a bit of playacting. The whole sequence involved Laura reading a comic all by her lonesome. Out of the blue, she’s approached cautiously by Eric. He sat far away at first, and then moved until they were reading next to each other. Super awkward (and people that know me know I’m a fan of the awkward!), but honestly, super fun because it created so much laughter!
Look, ma! I can do single photos, too!
Probably my favorite part of the day – I was like “maybe you guys can play hide and seek among the gravestones or something!” So good!
Experimenting with negative space…
This dress was SO perfect for dipping and jumping! LOVE IT!
Thanks so much for a great session, Eric and Laura! I’m going to remember it forever!
Love the warm feeling to the photos! They look like such a happy couple! You captured them perfectly!
This was such a fun session! Great capture of their true selves. 🙂
These are AWESOME!! First off that archway is just amazing! So beautiful! I just love how you captured their fun personalities as well as the quiet sweet moments. And an engagement session in a cemetery? So unique and cool!
I would never even think about engagements and cemeteries in the same context… But Natalie, you made it like the most fun place to go 🙂
And what fun characters these guys have! I am looking forward to seeing their wedding, and wishing them all the happiness in the world!
These are so great! Love the mix of silly and sweet, though I think the black and white one in the middle is my fave :0).
Wow, this location?! Stunning! I absolutely love that this was their first date, I really want to go and check this place out too! Beautiful job at capturing their amazing personalities and love, can’t wait to see their epic wedding 🙂
I love the cheek smoochie image.
And her style.
Great session.
What an amazing group of images! Love the reflection, the dip and the venue! Why not celebrate love and life with the dead- they are having a party fo their own and Im sure where smiling down on the shoot!
