kate & luke: engaged!

Kate & Luke are cool. I felt like we hit it off so well in our client meeting, that I added Kate as a friend on Facebook immediately after (because as we all know, you’re not really friends until you are Facebook friends!). I’m pretty sure Kate was a little freaked out when I did that :) But the prospect of working with a couple as down to earth as Kate & Luke got me really excited! Not only are Kate & Luke a super sweet couple, they are awesome models too! Some people have it, and some people have to try to have it (or will finally have it 15-20 minutes into the session). Well Kate & Luke definitely “have it” – they had it right off the bat! Two shutter snaps into their e-session last weekend, I knew great images were in store! Check ‘em out:

Thanks for showing us new areas of Balboa Park we’d never seen before, you guys! Can’t wait for the wedding!

I admire you as photographers, as husband and wife, and as sweet-spirited believers. I was especially looking forward to the second part of Kate & Luke's engagement session... and was thrilled to see these images. I love the expressions captured in their individual portraits. You're right... they "have it." Looking forward to more of your creativity and craft. Peace out! Kate

  • 02.05.10Eva Schooler - These are wonderful! I get the privilege of having Luke as my brother and Kate as my soon-to-be sister in-law and I must say, I can't believe I'm related to these two amazing people! The pictures really capture their personality and their deep love for one another. I like the artistic and unique touch and I look forward to viewing their wedding pictures soon. Thanks for posting these!
  • 02.05.10Kristy-Anne - I love your work. I love your style! It always feels fresh, inspired and fun. You seem fully likable. The type of people I would want to be friends with. Keep up the good work. Oh and you can afford to raise your prices... Your work is worth WAY more than you are charging. Maybe than you can get a house sooner!
  • 02.05.10Dave (Kate's Dad) - Wow - these are really amazing - captured some amazing shots and the clarity and presence of Luke & Kate is simply beautiful....and I love how you guys use the settings - super creative.
  • 02.05.10Mary - What an incredible engagement shoot! Kate and Luke are a beautiful couple, and the photos communicate so much about their love. I especially like the black and white tree trunk photograph and the photo of them taken from a distance with the sun shining through. Amazing work, as always!
  • 02.05.10Luke Bauer - man. i needed a lot of help. one beautiful, photogenic, and calming fiance. check. two professional, easy-going, and gifted photographers. check. a can't miss location. check. being in love with a photographer has gone a long way in putting me at ease in front of the camera. i think this e-sesh was my coming out party. i only faked like three smiles! j/k. thanks he and she. can't wait for the next amazing collaboration. p.s. now that our rates are locked in i second the price raising comment made by Kristy-Anne.

  • 02.07.10Abi - I've been looking at your photos for quite some time and just never commented- but these pictures were amazing! You two are so incredibly talented!
  • 02.11.10Sharon - Luke-you and Kate look great together! Can see God's love flowing between the 2 of you. Mom (Susan) likes the pics too--she is glad to see you in your flannel shirt.Your Mom likes the pic of Kate leaning against you-it almost captures the beauty of her eyes. Liked looking for you in the maze of the tree roots. Glad you got a pic with a frisbee (sorry the one at Centennial park is still lost) Looking forward to seeing the pics of your wedding!
