This past week I shot an engagement shoot for Emily and Garret.  They were looking for something a bit more rustic so I decided to take them to a large park in our area. This park is one of my favorite places to shoot because of the variety it has to offer  There is beautiful docks, a lake with ducks, a beautiful hillside with mustard plants and gorgeous willow trees.  The scenery changes with each season, which one of the reasons why I love this place.   

This couple was so relaxed and patient that it quickly became a fun and easy shoot.  They were not camera shy and were very easy to pose which lead to some amazing and beautiful shots.  Even though the sky was kind of muggy, it ended up making the lighting perfect for all of the dock photos that were taken.  Of course it always helps when the Bride-To-Be has an idea of what she wants... a change of clothes, special pose requests, props.   Lighting is always a concern of mine.  The sunset this evening was disappointing, none-the-less we were able to get some beautiful shots.   All in all, a fun couple plus a great spot is always the recipe for a perfect engagement shoot... sun or no sun.
