To me engagement sessions are more about getting to know a couple and how they photograph- the good and the bad. That way when the day of the wedding arrives I can get right to it and not waist any of the little time we have. The wedding images always turn out so much better because I know exactly how to get the best image of the couple and they know how I work and what to expect from me. But that isn't the only reason for an engagement session. My objective is to get less of the poesy picture and more shots of the couple just being who they are together! I hope to capture the look she gives him when he says something she doesn't like, or when he says something sweet and romantic! Though I know you can't always capture something like chemistry in something tangible like a photograph, but regardless, that is my goal in every engagement session! On the wedding day we will get enough gorgeous posed portraits of the bride and groom, the engagement session, to me, is more about who they are and the chemistry they have. That's why I think every couples shots come out differently even if the pose I ask them to start with is similar, if not the same. The image still comes out slightly different because there is a uniqueness in each couple that can't be duplicated! To say this couple had chemistry would be an understatement!
