We knew we where going to hit it off with these two when we met over Skype!  Super laid back, totally in love easy going on the eyes, what more could a photographer dream of! I’ll never forget Moe’s Iron Maiden shirt, if it wasn’t so out of place I’d rock my IM shirt on their wedding day!  Don’t worry Rachel I would never do that

In typical Janke fashion we  asked these two what they’re into and where they like to spend their time so we could conjure up the best spot to take their engagement pics.  Rachel told me all about this gorgeous walk they like to do and I knew right then that would be our spot!  See Jeff and I have always had our special walks in every neighborhood we’ve ever lived in, so I completely appreciated the uniqueness of this upcoming day!

Just as we knew every shot including the first one was amazing!  Rachel who is quite gorgeous had one knock out look after another and Moe is just as good looking and looks completely smitten in every shot (which I love)!  You can’t go wrong with the look of love…

We did our best to narrow … Read More »

We did it again, took two lovebirds and stuck them out in the dirt!  Well really they did it to themselves!  Nick began telling us how he and Sashian have a special spot they like to park in their Jeep and watch the sunset while enjoying some wine!  Immediately Jeff and I exchange that look like alright we’re into this

We followed Nick and Sashian to the spot where we had to park the Jeep as it was experiencing technical difficulties, while we let the Jeep “cool off” we traveled down the hillside to take some other photos.  Basically I wanted to bring my brand new graffiti chair and throw it in the dirt and pose these two on it! I mean can you blame me, the chair is awesome and completely brightened up the desert, PLUS it have them a nice clean cushy place to rest their bums!

Please browse through some of our favorites from their engagement session and stay tuned as their wedding day is quickly approaching and I’m sure their photos are gonna rock!

This little story starts like this…..Charlene emails Amber, Charlene asks “Hey what do you think about shooting our engagement session on a dairy farm?”, Amber replies, “ummmm YES!” and there we have it!

Maybe quite possibly my favorite engagement photos ever!  I know I’ve said this before and I know I’ll say it again, but what a fantastic setting!  We really had endless ideas for this location!

Charlene and Matt are getting married this coming September at an even more amazing location, the Windmill Winery in Florence Arizona.  And on that date we are going to get insanely gorgeous wedding photos to match their insanely adorable engagement session.

If you’re looking for truly unique engagement photos call us!  We’d love to hear all about you! 310-272-6343

Like many of our couples we didn’t get to meet these two cuties until the day we showed up to shoot their engagement session!  Right away we completely clicked with these two and couldn’t wait to get started.  If you’ve never been to Sedona first of all, go……NOW!  Seriously I joked with Anna that we could literally just pull over anywhere and start shooting and we’d be guaranteed amazingness!

Anna and Ryan just so happen to be ultra good looking and completely new how to style themselves as well!  We like always couldn’t wait to get back to our computers and start editing our geeky little hearts out.  Let me tell you the three hour drive was a killer!  Their wedding which we will get to share here in a week or so was just as adorable!  Stay tuned for their pics from their big day coming soon!

For years we’ve been looking to shoot a couple in the too-lies in the Lake Havasu Gorge.  Who better than Jenna a seasoned Paddle Boarder and Tri-Athlete.  Mike just so happens to be a competitive fisherman who was more than willing to involve his fishing boat which helped add to the unique and fun engagement session ideas!

The weather was perfect and our subjects where a breeze to work with!  I think they heard Jeff and I oooohhh and ahhh over our photos as we where capturing them more than we typically do.  I mean what do you expect, when you’re photos are turning out Ahhhmazing with every click

Jenna and Mike we are so excited to share your pics on our blog!  Thanks for getting creative with us!!

With only a few weeks left to go for these two before their big day, we had a lot of fun running around Old Town Scottsdale!  Lindsay and Scott are getting married at the Anthem Golf and Country Club in Anthem Arizona.  With our crazy busy wedding season right in front of us we are doing our best to post all the blogs we can!

Adam and Kari met up with us in San Juan Capistrano where we began our photo session, like most of our sessions the moment we meet up with a new couple we have so many ideas and we’ve typically brainstormed with them once or twice so we all have a set goal in mind as to where and what we are doing, I promise it’s not aimless roaming……well maybe sometimes, but that totally works too!

We knew Adam and Kari really liked neat textures and elements of nature so we found some amazing backdrops in the area.  Spending most of our time at the Mission in San Juan we where completely thrilled with how the shoot was going and couldn’t wait as always to get to our computers to edit!

The last stop on our journey was a area off Ortega hwy (actually with no trespassing signs) but don’t tell anyone This field we found was so gorgeous and gave some pretty amazing scenery that was completely different from our downtown San Juan stops.  We couldn’t have been more pleased with our mix of shots!

One gorgeous sunny day in February we headed up to Oatman and local Ghost Town set up in a hillside in Mohave County.  We love shooting here as the backdrops tend to always change.  With donkeys as props and old broken down building how can you take a bad photo.  Check out some of our favorites from Mykal and Jacobs engagement session

Ok if it’s not easy enough shooting two people completely in love, then they show up in a plane and then bride to be Jodee unloads all her adorable decor and set design goodies!  Seriously I can’t say it enough, we have the COOLEST most creative couples ever!

These two where a blast, and they really knew how to steam it up in the pics.  With only a few weeks away from their wedding we are pretty excited!  We spent a whole day with these two capturing video and photo footage.  In just a few weeks you’ll be seeing these cuties again in their wedding day blog post and then shortly after their cinematic wedding film.

Please take a moment to browse through our favorites from their session and try not to be super jealous of Jodee’s über set design skills!
