(Fun) Nontraditional Engagement Sessions

Creativity fuels my passion for photography (which really goes without saying). So I cannot express how excited I get when my clients tell me that they have a fun idea for their photo session!

Ashlee and Jordan reached out to me for an engagement session (CONGRATS!!!), so I planned a typical golden hour, romantic shoot.

Did I mention they wanted to include their adorable puppy in their photos?
From the initial inquiry, I was already excited about this photo shoot.

During our session planning, this lovely bride-to-be mentioned that she had a fun “outfit” idea that she wanted to incorporate.
On one of their first dates, these two had dressed up in inflatable T-Rex costumes, and shenanigans ensued! How could they not have some fun photographs that hearkened back to their early romance!

I cannot begin to describe to you how much fun and laughter this portion of the engagement session inspired!

A few dogs walked by when we were shooting these, and these poor pups had no idea what to think. Not one of us could keep a straight face (not that you could tell from behind the t-rex costumes….)

Seriously, how fun is this?

What I loved about this part of our session was not so much the sheer fun of the inflatable T-Rex costumes, but rather that this couple had stopped to ask what they could bring to their photo session that really depicted the joy and passion they shared in their relationship from its earliest days.

When booking their photography sessions with me (engagement, family, seniors, anything!), I always encourage my clients to incorporate their personalities, and the fun, silly, joyful things that inspire them!

Contact me and let me know some creative, nontraditional ways you would like to bring some spirit and individuality into your next photo session!
