The Engagement Session Experience
Magen and Amber’s engagement session was a love-fest, and I was lucky to capture it all! Picking the most ideal spot is key to making those photos a chef’s kiss. Our adorable duo chose McConnell Springs in Lexington, KY. I mean, can you say “nature’s paradise?” With its lush greenery, cute-as-a-button trails, and that oh-so-peaceful pond, it was the ideal backdrop for their love story to shine.
Now, as your go-to LGBTQ wedding photographer, I’ve got to talk about wardrobe selection. Magen and Amber rocked it with their dressy-but-not-too-fancy outfits. The trick is to pick clothes that scream “this is so me!” while keeping things comfy. Case in point: Magen’s rock and roll-inspired black dress and boots combo had her looking fab and feeling like a million bucks.
When it comes to capturing engagement sessions, I’m all about keeping it real and having a blast. My photography style is like a mixtape of candid, authentic, and creative moments that showcase your love story in all its glory. So, whether you’re laughing your heads off or sharing a “you had me at hello” look, I’ll be there as your LGBTQ wedding photographer, ready to capture every magical moment. Trust me, you’ll fall in love with your love story again!
Behind the Scenes
Alright, let’s sneak peek behind the scenes of Magen and Amber’s engagement session! Once we settled on McConnell Springs as the dreamy backdrop, our dynamic duo opted for the 30-minute basic engagement session. Sure, it’s just one location and one outfit, but trust me, we still managed to snap frame-worthy shots. My secret? Encouraging our lovebirds to flirt, cuddle, and crack jokes together so that every photo oozes candid, relaxed vibes.
Now, every photoshoot has its challenges, but as your LGBTQ wedding photographer, I’m all about creative solutions! Since our session was in March (pre-leaf season), we didn’t want the photos to scream “winter is coming.” So, I hunted down hidden pockets of lush greenery and plant life that defy the seasons. Oh, and that rock fence? Total winner as a backdrop. As for Amber’s camera shyness, I was on a mission to make her feel comfy and confident. Cue the jokes and the guidance! My strategy? Keep things so fun and engaging that the camera becomes invisible.
And let’s not forget the unforgettable moments! Picture this: while shooting in the sun, I created a rainbow in the photos, thanks to some lens flare magic. For an LGBTQ couple like Magen and Amber, it was the perfect bonus to make their photos extra special. Can you say “love is love” with a side of rainbows?
Preparing for the Big Day
Now, let’s talk about how engagement sessions are like a super-fun dress rehearsal for the big day. Not only do they help us build a rock-solid rapport (hello, new BFFs!), but they also give us a chance to iron out any camera jitters before you walk down the aisle. Think of it as a crash course in looking fabulous and feeling confident in front of the lens!
As for making the transition from the engagement session to the wedding as smooth as a well-choreographed first dance, I’ve got you covered! First off, let’s chat about what you loved about your engagement photos and any must-have shots for the big day. Don’t be shy; your wishes are my command! Next, we’ll create a photo timeline to ensure we capture all those magical moments without feeling rushed. Pro tip: Sneak in a bit of buffer time for life’s unexpected hiccups.
Lastly, let’s keep communication flowing like champagne. Whether it’s a last-minute change or a brilliant idea that pops into your head, I’m here to listen, adapt, and make your wedding day photography experience as fun and stress-free as possible. So, let the countdown begin, and remember, your LGBTQ wedding photographer is just a call or message away!
