I’ve never been to the University of Arizona before. Obviously, living in Phoenix I’m well aware that U of A and ASU are huge football rivals. But I’m clearly past college age and not much of a football fan, so I never paid too much attention to the competition between the two schools. But after visiting U of A the other week, I have to say that U of A kills ASU… hands down the Tucson college rocks! I’m simply basing this on the fact that I could photograph anything and anybody at U of A all day long because it is so beautiful there. I still don’t know anything about football.
Anyway, the reason I visited the campus is because Stephanie and Matthew chose to do their engagement photos there. Matthew graduated from U of A last year, and Stephanie is finishing her last year of nursing school there. But the campus means more to them than just fun college memories. It’s where they first met. And it’s where Matthew proposed to Stephanie.
Matthew is a Lieutenant in the Army. Stephanie also serves in the Army, and when she finishes nursing school she will continue serving as an Army nurse. Stephanie and Matthew are impressive individuals, and as a team they are phenominal. They already have had so many amazing experiences and are so accomplished at such a young age (if you’re in your 20′s, you’re young to me). They are so sweet, and kind, and gracious, and polite. I felt oddly proud of them… which took me a little off guard because that’s a little weird in some ways. But I honestly wanted to call their parents after our photo session and say, “you must be so proud!”
They are clearly connected and in love… they fit together perfectly. And I hope I captured some of that connection in their photo session. Below are some of my favorites, but you can see much more in their slideshow here. I cannot wait for their wedding in December!
