I first met both Alex and Brian on the tennis court. Alex came from the ranks of AA ALTA tennis, Brian came from a rival men’s team that we played each season. Apparantly, that’s also how they first met, on the tennis court. So when they asked me to take some engagement pictures, we first hit the courts!

Then, we had to hit the fall landscapes. I love fall colors, and we couldn’t have picked a better weekend to take some fall pictures. Here’s a picture right from their own neighborhood.

After a quick lunch break, we drove up to Chota Falls. This is where they’re having their wedding. So, this gave me a chance to scope it all out. What a scenic location for a wedding.

Right about now, their butts are apparantly frozen from sitting on the rocks. Since these were long shutter shots, I had to ask them to sit there for quite a while.

It was 40 degrees outside. But the wind probably made it feel like 32. Yet these girls were running their hearts out.

What a great bunch of kids. It was great seeing these kids grow in soccer skills. Our season wasn’t full of win’s, but it was fun. Here’s just a small sample of the pictures throughout the season.

Well, the season is finally over. Watching these kids grow as athletes was something I’ve never experienced before. But it was clear that each kid improved in their own ways. Here are some final pictures of the season.

This is Traveler’s first annual Multiple Sclerosis Celebrity Challenge. The days leading up to this event was dreary and raining. But, the skies opened up on the day of the event and everything turned out wonderfully. Play was at the beautiful Crooked Creek Golf Club.

Of course, the day started with a heavy dose of fog.

Things still didn’t clear up as the players started to warm up.

Fog

I guess this is a case of turning lemons into lemonade. It was early Wednesday that I wanted to head over to Crooked Creek to take photos of the golf course during sunrise. These were to be my stock photos for the Traveler’s MS Celebrity Challenge that’s to occur later that day. To my disappointment, the morning started with a dense layer of fog. You can’t see half way down the fairway. So instead, I decided to just hunt around for some other photo opportunities as I waited for the fog to lift. Here’s one picture down a cart path of the third hole.
