Mika+Ryan :: Engaged!

I met this fun, charismatic duo last year at Mika's sister's wedding - and was so excited when they got in touch with me about their own. After their engagement session, I could see that their love for each other, and passion for life, are what make them such a special pair.

Mika is a yoga teacher and massage therapist, which is obvious after chatting with her for two minutes; she's centered, sweet and has a completely easy-going personality. Oh ya, and killer arms.

Ryan's a conjurer. A magician. A mentalist. I'm not kidding - check out his work. He's "kind of a big deal" as Ron Burgundy would say. I was completely impressed by his excitement, ideas and props. Yes, the man brought props. How cool is that?

Hi Heather,
Well, you've done it again. You did a superb photography job with Shira and Chad and now with Mika and Ryan. I LOVE the pre-wedding photos you took of them. You REALLY GOT them. The photos reflect the essence of their relationship and I can't thank you enough for giving us the beginnings of wonderful photographic memories. Can't wait for the wedding and the amazing pictures you're going to take.
YOU, YOU, have a gift.........
Warmly, Ruth Samuel, Mother Of The Bride Again :)
