If you googled amazingly attractive and photogenic couple,  I am quite sure that an image of these two would pop up. Each and every image of them I took is beautiful. I suppose there is more to it than just attractiveness because Mercedes and Jason are undoubtedly happy… in fact they absolutely radiate with it. I had so much fun spending the afternoon with these two. We started at the Shops at Legacy and moved to a nearby field golden with wheat blowing in the wind… which I absolutely love, and ended in another favorite spot near a lovely little body of water. It is true that we were blessed with an absolutely luminous afternoon light, but regardless of this these two really make their own light. Sometimes you have to coax romance out of a couple in front of the camera… which is totally understandable, but with Mercedes and Jason there was no need to coax. For them it is as natural as breathing… and they don’t mind the world looking on.

I always ask the couples I photograph how they met, and I love hearing their stories. Mercedes was working at a hotel in Florida, where Jason happened to be visiting… and I can only assume that the man took one look at her and knew that he wanted to get to know her much better. That is where it all started, and here we are today, a little over a month before their wedding. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding, which it to be held at the La Cima Club… the photos are bound to be as love filled and joyful as these. What could be better?

I want to take the time to give kudos to Jason… I mean talk about a guy with a great attitude about photos! He is a smart man and knows that a happy fiance’ makes for a happy existence… or maybe he just enjoyed gazing at his future bride. I wish every fiance’ and groom were as obliging. He’s really making it hard for all the men who follow.

Mercedes I will see you soon to make some beautiful bridal portraits together… next step, the wedding at La Cima! Can’t wait you two!
