It is finally Spring! If it is still a little chilly in your neck of the woods, possibly we can stir up some warm thoughts by sharing these lovely engagement photos with you. Now, say hello to Ryan & Amber, and their photographer Eldad Efendi. These soft, vintage inspired photos may conjure up thoughts of Kevin Arnold and Winnie Cooper on the beloved Wonder Years. However, this romance story is even better because it will end in marriage!

These stylish engagement shots capture the rural country upbringing these two shared in common, in the Pacific Northwest. ” When Eldad suggested a country theme, it just seamed right. We both love the look of engagement pictures in a big city, but that wasn’t us. We instantly reverted back to childhood when we arrived at the Farm in Van Zandt, WA.”

Even though their roots and the images are truely country, this couple has a keen sense of style. This was evident to us throughout the design planning process for their Summer 2010 wedding. This couple has a clear idea of what they want and are willing to do the research to see all that is out there on the web.

The angle they choose to take these shots, tell a paralleled story. ”We were looking for a timeless classic look, with a modern twist and I think he (Eldad) captured that feeling.” – Goal accomplished Amber! Oh- did we mention that Eldad’s Assistant, his wife Kerri, even offered the cowboy boots off her feet to capture one of the shots, adding an extra kick of country. We love hearing stories of how vendors go above and beyond for their couples!
Check out other photos captured by this Pacific Northwest photographer, Eldad Efendi. And, keep an eye out for more on this couple after their Summer 2010 wedding at Snoqualme Falls. We already know it will be spectacular!
