Loved this engagement session. They were completely natural from the first 30 seconds I held up my camera and started shooting, which just makes my job so much easier. The natural “them” moments are by far my favorite photos of the session, the moments where they just let go and went with their spontaneity — kissing her hand, giving her goofing looks to make her laugh, picking her up piggy-back. I love that none of those moments were choreographed, and it just makes me love those images.
I think this post really shows my love of black and white photography as well, especially portrait photography. I absolutely love it.
Congratulations on your engagement, and have a wonderful wedding in Massachusetts! I’m sure sparks will keep flying for you.
Wow, so I definitely got a little carried away editing their photos, but I couldn’t help it! Look at them! I was saving up this location for the perfect session, and I’m so glad I did because it was perfect for them. I loved this couple, and I knew it was going to be a great session when right at the beginning Melissa totally went for it and cuddled and hugged and kissed her fiance without me having to orchestrate it all. I loved it! She’s so full of life! My absolute favorite shots of the day were her being her, like when she kissed Will’s nose. I’m so glad I caught that! And there are so many more in their full gallery. I can’t wait for them to see them all!
Also, just a funny side note, I like to think that I notice a lot of little things while I’m shooting, but there are always things that manage to escape my notice until I’m going through the shots later. This time, however, I was surprised to realize when I was proofing that I almost wore the exact same shirt as Melissa did in a different color that morning! Does this shirt look familiar? Haha!
Congratulations, Melissa and Will! Can’t wait to see you again for your bridals!
Before moving to Texas, my husband and I went to Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio, and while we were there we had a very close group of friends that we try to reunite with every year now that we’ve all gone our separate ways.
Well, this summer they scheduled two reunions two months apart…with weddings. Reagan (the groom below) got married over Memorial Day weekend (and I’ll be headed out of town with the other one later this summer), so while I was up in Ohio we squeezed in a pre-wedding session for them since they never got professional engagement photos. Here’s some of what we got for them!
