Beloved - Giles & Arie

Giles & Arie are probably two of the most stellar people here in Saint George.  I met them almost a year ago at a photography retreat in Zion National Park and very glad I did, such awesome souls.  When meeting with them in hopes of shooting a Beloved session with them you could feel AND see the love they have for each other as they shared their journey to becoming a loving couple and family today.  Giles made the comment that he was willing to try a Beloved Couple shoot but he wasn't sure how great he would do as he was not the best in front of a camera.  I told him that wouldn't be a problem, in which Arie said, "no he really doesn't like being photographed" (I am paraphrasing).   In the end when it comes to photographing muses gaining their trust and keeping it goes a long way as they become more comfortable and apt to show a part of themselves that they might not have if trust wasn't there.

Giles & Arie came nervous to have a Beloved shoot but left calm and cool. While working with them it was as if I was a fly on the tall grass of this great romance story I got to be a part of for just a short while.  There is depth to the soul, we just need to sit back and watch for it instead of always rushing in this life.  -AG
