As you know, every once in a while we get the chance to shoot our amazing friends when they decide to get engaged! And THIS one was AWESOOMMMEEE! April and Jason met at OUR WEDDING! She was a bridesmaid and he was invited.  {It was all  pre-planned.} One day, when I was living with 3 girls, {one of which was Brenda, haha} one of the girls {Brenda} asked me if there would be any hot single guys at the wedding. So I busted out the guest list and looked, they were all her friends so I told her no. The.. suddenly, I had an epiphany and I yelled out “Oh my gosh!!!! April and Jason! April and Jason!” and all the girls screamed too, it was the best match ever!! You see April was always my friend, kind of separate from the others and I’d bring her around every once in a while so everyone knew {and loved} her. Jason was our friend who often showed up to our house in a speedo and cut off in shorts to go swimming.

Anyway, it was all planned, they met at the wedding with the help of the girls, instant connection via the dance floor and their amazing moves and the rest is history. Sorta cliche, a bridesmaid and a guest with good dance moves hitting it off, but that makes it even better!!!

Well on a side note, April has been one of my best friends for about 6 years now. We met on the dance floor (so it was only fitting that she met her future hubby on the dance floor) and we hung out every day, going dancing on average 3 days a week… No, not to ghetto, grinding hip hop clubs. We weren’t lame. Grayson and Jason have always had a not so secret man crush on each other and been very open about it, haha. Needless to say, we love April and Jason

Sooooooooo, here is there awesome, 3 day shoot from when they came up to visit us in WA.

my new favorite photo!!!!

no, I did not edit her eyes, they just look that awesome in the sun.

the most amazing bridge!

I had this idea with bubbles, it didn’t work haha.

Now for the most amazing photos, the behind the scenes of our awesome 3 days.. First, I  have to preface with the explanation for these pants- they’re awesome, and we love them.

Seattle skyline deserves these pants too.

And last- but certainly not least: this little diddy of pure joy via 2004 if you have a few minutes and want to be wildly entertained…. This video is a perfect example of why April and I were meant to be friends.
