Ryan & Britt's Engagement

The image above, the one on top, it just does it for me, it's a fav. Let me explain. When I shoot an engagement session, I try to sometimes capture those moments that happen when you're not thinking it's a moment at all. I call it the 'in between'. It's that time in between shots that often makes the best images. In this instance, one might think that the kiss is the shot I am after, but actually, I was trying to get the 'in between'. The image is really very simple in nature, yet seems to give us more than just a look between two people in love. You might be able to draw emotion from the scene, maybe formulate an idea of what will happen next. This type of imagery draws the viewer in a little deeper, allows you to not just look at the photo, but possibly relate to the people IN the photo...and THAT is why it's a favorite of mine. Because I can't just look at it, it actually makes me think about who these two might be and what they might be thinking or feeling, and it speaks of their relationship to each other. So, now that your photo viewing history lesson is over, let me introduce the lovely couple, Ryan and Britt. Two spectacular people who are fun loving and energetic, to say the least. They rocked the camera, as you can see, and I can't wait for their wedding next year! Oh, and Ryan, you totally nailed the Zoolander look a few times, good job! LOL. I know you were actually trying for that...Britt, you just look beautifully natural in pictures, can't wait to see you in white! To you both, thank you for the opportunity to work with you, I had a great time and hope you did, too!!
