Last Saturday we met Rachel & Manny in downtown Gilbert for their engagement session.  We first met with this couple WAY back in June so we’ve been looking forward to our chance to reconnect and spend some time getting to know them.  All of us were a little scared that our session might get rained out, but lucky for us, the rain stayed away until that evening.  In fact, it was kind of bright out for most of the session . . . and WINDY!  They were great to work with and we had so much fun wandering around downtown with them!  Here are some of our favorites from their session:

Loved Rachel’s belt buckle :-)  What e-session would be complete without a little love?

One of my favorites from the whole session . . .

Rachel & Manny first met as players on the same co-ed softball league.  They knew of each other for a while and then a mutual friend decided that they needed a little push and set them up.  Rachel told us that going into their first date she “didn’t really think she would like him” (ha ha ha – can’t tell by looking at them now, huh?), but they ended up hitting it off and becoming inseparable right away.  They both love sports and still play softball together all the time, so we decided for the next part of their session we should show off their sporty side at nearby Freestone Park.

What can we say, a baseball diamond felt like an appropriate place to do some shots of these two!  Rachel came up with the idea to write their initials in the sand by home plate.  She said, “That’s so US!”  Love it :-)

Love, love, love this one Ryan snapped of them on the bleachers :-)

Then we went for a little stroll in the park . . .

So cute :-) Thanks for a great afternoon you guys!
