The one thing I enjoy about doing engagement sessions is getting to know my wedding couples ahead of time. It’s a must to do! You get a feel for how I work, and lets you document your love in a way that’s just a little more artistic than the big day. Plus, get to learn more about the couples.
We had an enjoyable time on this shoot. We dodged fishermen, and fishing birds. Wondered if that cop was taking a nap. And, I think we interrupted some illegal activity under the weeping willow tree. Oh the things you see in Forest Park! But, it was worth it all.
I’m really excited about their wedding in October. This is a really creative couple and I know they will have a memorable venue with so many amazing details.
Yesterday, I met Annie + Nate over by the ice rink in Forest Park. Our one day of non-rain for this week and we grabbed it!
Picking a sneak peek for Annie + Nate was not easy. I wanted to pick more. But, I’ll save them all for a slideshow. Aren’t they just the sweetest?
He’s my cousin. She’s his girlfriend. They wanted photos. Hello? I’m a photographer!
Photographing my family members is always an honor. It means so much to me that they appreciate my art and trust me to take their pictures. Sometimes, it can be awkward photographing those we love and hold dear, getting them to relax, ya know? But, I think this session went perfect!
No, they aren’t engaged (I am sure my family members reading this and seeing the photos are wondering). They just wanted some great photos of the two of them. I’ve not really had a good chance to get to know Alicia, but I think this will give us a better opportunity to do so. In fact, we started that relationship by us all going to dinner after their session in Faust Park in Chesterfield. We had great conversation, laughs, food and wine. It couldn’t get much better than that.
I look forward to more time with them and I hope they enjoy what I created. Here are my favorite picks from the session. Thanks Nick & Alicia! Love you guys!
Last Thursday it was raining. Yes, raining. Whoa! Surprised? It is spring in St. Louis so that shouldn’t really surprise anyone. But, it was still quite chilly. I have always wanted to capture a cute couple with rainboots and umbrellas for the engagement session. You just can’t always plan for that. Convincing a client that the rain is okay to shoot in isn’t always easy to do. But, Elizabeth & Eric were up for it. My mom was a trooper assistant, holding an umbrella over me and my camera – and battling the frigid wind at the end. We won’t discuss the possibility of me and Eric both getting snapped by a traffic cam (shhh!)
They met on a blind date, just down the street from where Elizabeth lived, in Dogtown. They met on the corner of Plateau and McCausland and Elizabeth shares that Eric remembered vividly stepping on her foot. Elizabeth doesn’t remember. What she remembers is texting her best friend while standing on the corner: This is where I am and this is what I’m wearing…you know, in case something happened to her. Hearing stories of how couples meet are so cute. And, now, the two are planning their June nuptials. I’m so excited for them.
It was the perfect setting to shoot in Olympia, where they had their first date. The owner was so generous to allow us free reign of their restaurant. You don’t find that kind of hospitality too often. I found it more fitting to put their story of photos into a slideshow because well, I just loved too many to pick a few to blog. Be sure to come to the blog if you’re in a feed reader – to experience the full slideshow with music.
