Engagement Sessions are the first chapter of your new life together.
One of the favorite parts of our job as wedding photographers is the engagement session. It really gives us a great opportunity to connect with our clients and have a great time shooting them in an informal setting.
"True emotion is not only powerful but very photogenic." -John Carlson
modern "BridaL" and "first look" Sessions give you unlimited possibilities
Traditionally the "Bridal" shoot is known as a portrait session where the bride can rock her bridal attire on a day prior to the actual wedding day itself. While this is still the case, we like to add a twist and include the "First Look" as a part of this .
What is the "First Look"?
Weddings are a fantastic time for family, friends, and relatives to come together to celebrate your day. They can also be high stress, and time demanding. This limits the ability for a couple to take each other in the first time they see one another.
By combining the First Look and Bridal Session this eliminates the stress, giving the couple a sacred, private, and peaceful moment to take place between soon to be husband and wife. We stay at a distance and allow this recorded moment to be organic and real.
While we have the bride in her beautiful dress and the groom all cleaned up, we take advantage of this time to really get some amazing portraits together and individually.
"When you do what you love, you never work again. When you never work again with the one you love, you have found your passion." - Jess Carlson
IT's the day you have been waiting for, the first day of the rest of your life.
We understand the amount of time and energy that you spend preparing and planning the perfect day. That is why we give our clients a full day of shooting coverage on their wedding day. From the tiniest detail to the grand exit, we will be there to capture those moments you will cherish for a life time. Our overall goal is to provide our clients with their very first family heirloom that they can look over years down the road together and still get that same warm feeling they experienced when they first said "I do."
" It's cool, Jess can photoshop that out later." - John Carlson
Its funny how the smallest details absolutely make the biggest Differences.
An unscripted emotional embrace, wedding rings, shoes, that odd nail color that almost no one will notice? Well, we notice those tiny details and it shows in our work. Details can make the day but they are also very easily forgotten. It's amazing what can be discovered or what might have been over looked until after the photos are looked over.
