When someone contacts me and says… “I want YOU to be our wedding photographer!”  I can’t help but smile!  These are going to be some of the most important photos in this couples lives – what an honor to be the one who gets to capture them!  After discussing the type of coverage they wanted – we quickly starting chatting details of an engagement session.  As with any session – we talk first about the type of feel they want their images to have. For these guys, a mix of pretty, and rustic – perfect combo!  2 outfits – one more casual, one dressier.  Couples sometimes laugh when I say that I have a pop up changing room – so they can change outfit easily…. Yes I really do have one!   Anytime you can change your look – you’ll add variety to your session.

Of course your engagement session is going to give you engagement photos -and ones you can use for an announcement or save the date.  BUT!  More importantly – it’s going to give you the opportunity to get to know your photographer.  I loved chatting with them – hearing their history .  Especially with these two!  They’ve been together since their early teens!!!!  Incredible!   As well as getting to know me, and me getting to know you – the experience in front of a camera is huge.  Everyone gets nervous initially.  It takes a bit of time to warm up.  With guidance from me – we’ll work through it, and incorporate a variety of poses.  Once you see your engagement pictures – and see how incredible they turned out – then you’ll really be confident that your wedding portraits will be amazing.  Almost like we need that reassurance that we’ll look good!  Well, at least  for us the ladies!  ; )

These were some of their favorites.  2 others – not seen here (some things have to be kept a secret) will be gracing their save the date cards.  Loved working with Whitney and Chris -really looking forward to capturing their wedding in 2013.
