We love to photograph friends of our couples! It’s always fun to see people switch roles – last years’s bride becomes the bridesmaid and a bridesmaid becomes queen of the day! It’s always humbling when you see that people love your work so much that they recomend you to their closest friends. We first met Barbara a few years ago when she was a bridesmaid at Gina and Jason’s Cinnabar Hills wedding and we were absolutely thrilled when she contacted us to say that she just got engaged!
Barbara and Carlos went all out for their engagement session and no detail was spared – from her gloves to his hat – they were the epithomy of the past:
Those suitcases were to die for!
The guys were awesome to photograph and sooo in their characters:
I know Barbara is busy planning an absolutely stunning, very special wedding, and I just cannot wait till August to see everything she’ll come up with!!!
PS: We were happy to see Barbara and Carlos’ beautiful themed Engagement Session featured on Engagement 101 blog in October 2011. Click here to read the super cute and romantic story of their engagement!

Style and creativity are simply phenomenal on this one! Awesome job, guys!
What an awesome job Mike & Nat! Love the vintage look and the photos, as usual, are amazing! xox
hehe – Awesome! I love the heads cut off
That looks like it was fun
Awesome!!!!
Thanks everyone! Mike and Natasha did a fantastic job of capturing the exact concept we were going for. From the lighting, to the locations, to the poses, they absolutely nailed it. And they did a terrific job of putting us (well, me) at ease. It really was a lot of fun and I’m so grateful that Gina and Jason picked them for their wedding because it meant we got to know them and work with them as well. Thanks again — and can’t wait to see you guys do your magic on our big day in August!
just awesome
Love the pics and they look amazing!!!!!!! ♥
Thank so much for your gracious comments! We absolutely loved this shoot and were so excited to see how much Barbara and Carlos prepared for it. Props can be so much fun and the images are always a collaboration between our subjects and our viewfinders :)
ooooh. love. love. LOVE! :)
I am crazy about this shoot! Just fantastic! They look like a gangster and his ‘moll’ in the 1930′s. Great job!
kick ass!
straight out a 1930s movie! fantastic job
Some of these look like stills from a 1940′s movie that just happened to be shot in color. It definitely gives you an insight into the personality of the couple. I’m sure the wedding is going to be just as fun!
Another amazing shoot by Choco! You guys never fail to impress me! And I’m sure it was easy shooting such gorgeous people! Can’t wait to see you guys at their wedding in August!
