Jake Rohde | Valo Photography

Vanessa and Drew got married yesterday… The weather was a bit on and off all day, but that never stops us. After shooting outside in the rain for a while, the rain picked up and we went in search of a coffee shop to get a couple more shots before the day was over. Turns out the coffee shop we were thinking about was closed, however, in the same parking lot there was a Sendiks Grocery Store… Simon and I thought to ourselves “Selves, wouldn’t it be fun to shoot in the grocery store?” Vanessa and Drew were down, so we were as well. We ran around the store for a while making photographs like this:

Much more to come… this was a lot of fun.

Thank you Vanessa and Drew for having Valo Photography as part of your day. Also, thanks for thinking outside the box with us and trying something a little different.

I have been friends with Sarah for quite a while. We met through mutual friends, I believe at a campfire? All I know is it was many years ago. When Sarah first contacted me, it was just to let me know that she was engaged. Later she contacted me again to inquire on hiring Valo to shoot her wedding. I was very stoked to hear Sarah and Tyler wanted to hire me to shoot their wedding. If there is one thing I like more than photographing a wedding, it is photographing a friends wedding.

The engagement session you are about to look at (hopefully, that is if you are still reading this… I usually skip ahead to the photos and then come back to read stuff) was a TON of fun. The locations were very cool, thanks to the scouting of Tyler. I got a lot of emails from them leading up to their engagement session of other e-sessions they had found around the Internet, photos from a scouting mission Tyler went on, and a lot of thoughts on location. This was great, because it let me see a little of what they were thinking of, and it made smile every time I got one of their emails, because I could tell how excited they were. When a couple is very excited about shooting, it makes my level of excitement rise as well. And so it kept amplifying, until we met up at Alterra and started shooting… Here is what I created on a perfect day, with a great couple…
