We love shooting weddings. But we wouldn’t have the great rapport we do on the wedding day without an engagement session. It’s a relaxed and fun way for us to get to know our clients… And for them to get to know us. Luckily, most don’t question choosing us after they really get to know us:-). Enjoy this highlights from the last year.
This blog post is brought to you by the support of great commenters like yourself:-).
Meg and I are getting so excited for our upcoming 2010 wedding season. Cool people, cool locations, cool vendors, cool… photographers. Oh wait, that’s us:-). This last weekend we met with three couples that we’ll now be photographing next summer and we also met with a couple to do an engagement shoot (exciting times!). Jessica and Brandon were not only awesome models for the shoot but total troopers. It wasn’t raining but it was not warm for sure. Meg and I had so much fun and laughed a lot! We kept saying to eachother that they made the backs of our cameras look good! Jessica and Brandon – thanks for being game for crazy locations and poses, they turned out so great. Enjoy!
I asked Brandon to show me epic and he said – ‘You need to look up and to the left to be epic’ and he was right.
How would you explain this one? ha. Sorry Brandon, I just wanted you to know how I would dip you 
.
Why do we not shoot at the EMP more. Check out this walls versatility in the next two shots.
Meg totally rocked this shot! I totally love everything about it, well done Meg.

I’ve heard it many times before – ‘I’m really not into photos’. And usually my response is – ‘You sound like a dude’. Here in lies one of the greatest functions of engagement photos for our clients. My ultimate goal along with capturing some great images is to prove to the ‘dudes’ that it’s all good and not as painful as it seems. In fact, we can have fun with it all. When it came to Brian I had a bit of an advantage because he was absolutely in his element. Brian is currently the president of the Puget Sound Antique Tractor Association and plays a huge part in the up keep of the park and infrastructure. You can even find some of his Tractors in the barn, which was pretty cool to check out! Okay, so all that to say that we couldn’t have picked a more comfortable place for Brian and Vanessa to do their photos. All this talk about Brian, I have to mention that Vanessa was just in her element being with Brian and getting great photos done:-). Meg and I are very excited to be a part of your big day. Enjoy!
The new Facebook profile shots (as we call them now:).
She’s been watching Tyra, as well.
Meg and I were kind of obsessive about using the pitch forks. Normally we have to tell a couple. Pretend you have pitch forks. We actually had pitch forks, whoo hoo.
You can only be so seriously for so long, ha.
Me catching Meg catching Vanessa and Brian:-).
And my take on Megs shot above. It’s so fun editing and seeing how our perspectives are different.
Vanessa’s one request was a photo in front of this cabin.
I don’t know when Meg snagged this but look at that beautiful rim light off my big ol’ bald head. Ah, that’s pretty.

Okay, it’s 11:00 pm and the thermostat says 87 degrees in our house so I am obviously not sleeping. No better time to write a quick blog I’m excited about.
Allison and Brent have a fun background story about meeting at a Seahawks game at Qwest Field so we spent some time down by the stadium with them in Hawks gear. They also brought a long their pups which was fun. Meg and I had a blast and are very excited for your big day.
Enjoy this peak into your photos!
I think this photo rocks. Way to work it Allison!
It was such a beautiful early evening.
Alright, remember that photo I told you would be one of my fave’s? Here it is!
You know Brent, I think she likes you… A lot!

There was one photo that we knew we would be getting for this session (so I’ll save that for last) and see what else we could come up while we hung out with Kjirstin and Jeremy. Kjirstin is the co-owner of Lettered Streets Coffee House so of course we started there. We often start engagement sessions by asking couples what it is they are expecting to get out of these shoots and they tend to have no clue what they are signing up for, ha. And that’s how we like it. They are just meeting up with us and can’t usually wait to see what we’ve come up with:). What a fun challenge and cool job we have! Congrats to you two and enjoy.
Meg’s so good at getting shots of me shooting:).
And our Bellingham version of ‘The Times Square Kiss’.

And if we’ve photographed your wedding recently, I’m working on your blog posts as I type:).
