I had the pleasure recently of shooting Heather’s bridal session, and in honor of her upcoming wedding this weekend, I thought I’d share a few images from her engagement session with her love, Chris.
One thing that I always focus on during shoots is keeping the poses looking natural. I really prefer those types of shots to the over-posed styles (circa 1980 for example). One of the best ways to keep a couple interacting and looking like themselves is to get them to laugh—not always the easiest thing when you’re working with brand new acquaintances. I feel incredibly awkward when I’m in front of the camera instead of behind it, so I completely understand how hard it is to loosen up. With that said, meet Chris and Heather: the most wonderful “laughers” ever. This man absolutely knows how to make his fiancee laugh, and I could just feel joy oozing out of every pose. I adore their photos (can you believe her smile and his eyes!), and I can’t wait for the wedding in just a few days! Congratulations to this dynamic duo!
With joy, Lizard.
