ENGAGEMENT SESSION PHOTOGRAPHY SAMPLE: Fun Time Outdoors
For this engagement photoshoot, I used my Nikon D200, Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 and Lensbaby Composer. I learned from my last engagement session that strobes aren’t necessary and that the sun is more than enough. It’s just all about positioning the couple to match the sun light. Please note that these are just proofs and haven’t been edited in Photoshop, but only adjust pre-post in adobe lightroom. I was also blessed with the presence of my makeup/hairstylist Grace of http://www.beautybygrace.com . With Grace by my side, I knew the couple will look their best. I’ve also used Grace for the majority of my commercial/advertising images that can be found at http://www.lawrenceatienza.com . Thank you again Grace for help. Make sure you book her for your next wedding or commercial photo shoot.
I’ve tailored the engagement concept to match the bio the client provided before the engagement session. Similar to all of my past engagement sessions, I did my best to capture the couples personalities and interests on the images. The order of the images should also follow how the couple met and formed their bond and now lifelong partnership.
The first image I’ve attempted to capture the couples progression to “hello” and “how are you”. As this is a still picture and not video, I can’t simply ask the models to re enact their meeting. So I thought about what i wanted to communicate a little more on how to communicate the “hello” and “how are you” and came up with the scene you see below. The exchange of hello and how are you are illustrated via signs with the words “hello” and “hi”.
A special thanks goes to the couple for being such a pleasure to work with in creating these engagement images. Congratulations and I hope that you will select me to capture your special day and continue the story of your life together. Please note that these are only teasers and more images will be available soon that will be accessible through a password protected photo gallery.
