Stephanie & Adam were pretty familiar with my work before meeting me because I had already photographed several of their friend's engagements- who are all getting married this year! So, to challenge myself and make their session unique, I decided to work with some of the lenses that I don't use much, starting off with the 45mm T/S...
Adam was such a trooper. He had surgery not that long before the session and was still in a bit of pain, but he still let a few smiles slip out- especially when he was looking at Stephanie... awwwwww
Another lens I don't use often... 135mm...
We did their engagement session in Vincennes, IN which was an instrumental site during the American Revolution- and was the first true city of Indiana, but also special to Stephanie & Adam. ;-)
One of the things that Adam loves about Stephanie is her long gorgeous hair.... ;-)
I love the texture of this wall... it might look gross, but it's just moss and dirt from various floods of the Wabash River. Which reminds me of a saying I often repeated when eating random things as a kid... "God made dirt and dirt don't hurt!"
While it's fun to play with lenses I don't use often.. I gotta say that it cramps my style after a while! It's much easier for me to capture those fun and spontaneous moments I love so much when I'm working with my standard 24-70mm lens.
Some of my favorite images of the day came from a teeny-tiny patch of dandelions near the side of the road. ;-)
I just did an esession in rochester and we did the dandelion thing except they wouldnt float and blow! i like the tilt shift.....
