I LOVE doing engagement sessions. I think it’s my favorite part of the entire process I go through with my wedding clients. I love learning about people and hearing their stories and in doing that, it gives me a glimpse into who they really are, which allows me to take even better photos of them. Engagement sessions give me this amazing opportunity to get to know my clients better and on the reverse side of the coin…gives them a chance to get to know me as well.
So when it came time for Adrienne & John’s engagement session, I know it would be fun! These guys have such a quirky sense of humor so I knew laughter would be in abundance. Which is great, because then I don’t have to tell any bad jokes to extract smiles for photos.
We roamed around the University of Delaware, stopping at places meaningful to them while seeking out good spots of light or a scenic destination. We ended at the lab where John has been working, finishing up his PhD.
Without any further ado, here are a handful of favorites.
So sweet, so sweet.
Oh how I love when my clients bring their pooches.This is Beans! Oddly enough, I have another client with a Boston Terrier named Bean too! lol (Please note the distinction though- S vs no S at the end.)
Awwwww….Beans loves his daddy! (and I thought I was bad for doggie kisses!)
OMG these guys are so natural in front of a camera! Love it!
I loved the light in this spot.
Just a little bit of sun flare here….sun flare and I go way back.
Oh yeah…she was soooo gonna karate chop him to bits….
…IF he hadn’t done this first. She was being nice and letting him win,
she could totally take him.
Awww….love this moment. and the fisheye. Fisheye is my BFF lens.
Not exactly sure what was happening here….maybe leftovers from the karate match?
John did an awesome job on her ring from Blue Nile.
It’s kinda mandatory to go for a kiss under the Memorial Hall kissing arches.
Yeah so I suggested maybe they touch their foreheads together and John totally took it to another level. He was sucking info from her brain apparently. Man he’s multi-talented!
I just adore this shot! Blue skies, Memorial Hall, UD on the walkway…it should be on the cover of the UD tuition catalog or something. LOL
Adrienne shouted out “Can we hug the poles?!!” Well I’m certainly not going to stop you, my dear. Poles are lonely – they need love too! All the work they do, holding up the building and nobody ever thanks them for it, they’re just taken for granted…..ok I’ll stop now.
This is in John’s lab in the DuPont building. John explained everything in perfect detail to me about what the box is for and……I forget. LOL Sorry John. But it made for a perfect picture of their personalities!
We were on our way out of the building and I had this goofy idea in the stairwell. I find opportunity in the strangest of places, I tell ya. I love it though!
Thanks so much, guys for hanging out with me and brightening my day! It was so much fun and I’m really looking forward to the wedding next July!
PS – Sorry for the different photo sizes in the last several posts…I’m kind of experimenting with a good size to post. If anybody has an opinion on it, feel free to leave it in the comments! Thanks!
