I *especially* LOVE engagement sessions. It's so much fun capturing two people in love with my camera. I typically try to let the chemistry between the pair guide the session. . . I just follow their lead. I may choose the spot and do a little positioning but for the most part the love birds do all of the work.
Engagement sessions are an important part of my wedding photography. It's a great way for me to get to know the soon to be bride and gives them the opportunity to see how I work. It is a chance for us to get to know each other in a photography setting. When the wedding day rolls around all the nerves from the unexpected are gone because we've already worked together. The last thing you want to worry about on the day you are getting married is being uncomfortable in front of your photographer. Doing an engagement session with your wedding photographer is a win-win!
Daniel and Kelli are a perfect example of how it should work--we did their engagement session several months before their wedding, and when the big day rolled around everything was a breeze! Even Daniel will admit that he wasn't too keen on having his picture taken before their engagement session, but by his wedding day. . . he was a PRO!
Daniel and Kelli are such a beautiful couple--inside and out. It's funny but they actually became good friends of ours after we worked together. I love it when that happens! It's one of my very favorite things about being a photographer. Taking pictures is my passion, but making new friends and connecting with people is the best part of my job. Enough rambling, below are some of my favorite shots from Daniel and Kelli's engagement session and wedding. Enjoy! (Daniel & Kelli, dinner date soon?)
