Romantic Engagement Session and Beachside Picnic

Earlier this spring we shot a romantic engagement under the cherry blossoms for Sam & Lan, who are getting married up in Vernon later this year. They were so laid back and so much fun to work with. I think one of the hardest things for couples is getting all snuggled up and romantic when the cameras are pointed at them. It can be really hard to let your walls down and really be present with each other, so we really strive to create a space where couples can do exactly that in our sessions. We want them to feel more a casual double date with friends who happen to have cameras rather than a really intense portrait session — most people find getting their picture taken stressful enough as it is, never mind trying to connect and be intimate at the same time.

We do this by really playing and interacting with our clients, and of course a deep willingness to be vulnerable and connect ourselves (both with each other, and our clients). That’s how we can ensure we get images of couples just being themselves during portrait sessions.
