While we are far more accustomed to travel for wedding days, Eagen and Jason flew me to New York City (their home) for their engagement shoot. They are, without a doubt, 2 incredible reasons that I believe we have the best job on earth. Funny, real, kind, open, gracious, honest, committed, beautiful. And I had a front row seat. It goes without saying that we’re excited for the wedding day! A million thanks to you both for taking me into your world, sharing steak tartare (raw meat?? seriously?), and trusting enough to let me into who you are. 
Eagen + Jason : Engaged in New York City
- Love the "one in focus and one not" grouping. Very cool.03/09/2010 - 10:41 am
- still the best03/09/2010 - 7:49 am
- I meant "symbolic", not sybolic03/08/2010 - 7:07 pm
- A GORGEOUS couple and GREAT shots - artistic, yet approachable. Simple & sybolic at the same time. "Tall / SMALL" The size difference is so strong, yet it works - fun & sweet - and isn't that what marriage is about: bringing differences together to make a new unit! I LOVE these photos!03/08/2010 - 7:04 pm
- LOOOOVE the window shot... And I have to say, their height difference is adorable!03/08/2010 - 3:22 pm
- Awww she is so tiny next to him! Adorable couple! The first pic is my fave. :)03/08/2010 - 2:04 pm

this is where we were one year ago
in Rwanda. Africa.
we loved it.
we miss it.
if you were around one year ago, you probably saw the original blog posts of words and images.
here’s a little refresher.
can’t wait to go back someday in the not so distant future!
much love,
the parsons

we freaking love our clients!!!
yes, we get to run our own businesses, have husband+wife coffee dates at 10 am whenever we want, spend time with our radical kiddos, do what we love for a living, teach others how to do the same, and never have a “case of the mondays”. but more than that, this job brings with it the most amazing gift - our clients. seriously, people. If you are in this business, and you are not overjoyed by the quirky, hilarious, beautiful people you get to work with, you aren’t focusing on the right things. we are frequently reminded that we, through being wedding photographers, get to meet some of the world’s most radical people and they make us a part of their story. need an example? just look at yuko + eddy. they are getting married next year at Niagra Falls and have brought us into their worlds to be a part of it. Eddy is a designer and proposed to yuko using a book he sketched out.
click on the image above to view eddy’s proposal book.
and be sure to read to the end…it’s wonderful. :)
and to all of our clients, no b.s. here. just lots and lots of love and appreciation for all of you.
love,
the parsons

- That is seriously the sweetest thing I've ever seen. But I must admit, I'm a little jealous...why didn't my husband think of something like that????02/26/2010 - 10:40 am
- Wow, that was so funny and endearing, I actually teared up a bit. What a lucky girl to have her man so in tune with her! Can't wait to see your photos of them!02/24/2010 - 2:38 pm

- I LOVE eddy's proposal book.. that is so cute and something I'm sure she'll cherish forever. And I completely agree about the awesome people you meet photographing. I could have had a studio job photographing catalogue stuff (YUCK!!) but why would I want to do that when I can photograph amazing people all the time and get paid to do it!!! :) I love your stuff btw and look at it all the time! you both are serious inspiration! (p.s. i love Sarah.. went to grade school w/ her )02/22/2010 - 5:37 pm
