I always feel extra special when an avid photographer contacts me to do portraits (or a wedding) for them. Warren, in charge of choosing a wedding photographer, contacted me a few months ago and we got out to take some engagement portraits and get to know each other this past Saturday. He’s pretty into photography, which makes me a bit nervous, but also makes me feel like I must be doing something right.
Laura and Warren are still working out some details for their August wedding, but don’t seem too worried. I can tell that these two, and their friends and family, are going to have a super fun wedding day. They were a little unsure of what to do in front of the camera at first, which I can fully understand as I’m also used to being behind the lens. It didn’t take them long to warm up though. They had a ton of energy and creative, playful ideas. They even brought props, which you can see near the end of this post.
It took me quite a while to go through the photos and choose which ones to blog, because there were so many great, different images. I’m still going to have to spend a lot more time to figure out which ones to edit and deliver. Thanks for giving me the best problem a photographer could ask for, guys.
Out come the props, aka their secret identities: Mr. Beaver and Ms. Racoon. Ok, so I just made that up. But it could be true. You never know. They were rather good at foraging on the rocks.
