Colleen and Brian - Engagement Session

I met with Colleen and Brian for their engagement session on Sunday. This engagement session had a little twist, however! I had always wondered what it would be like to photograph a bridal party when they weren't dressed to the nines. I asked Colleen to bring her bridal party along, in their "comfortable" clothes. We took a few shots. I had a few ideas -- some that will take me some time to complete, but when it's done, I'll share!

We went to the Flats in Cleveland. Note to self: don't always assume nothing's going on in the Flats. There was a concert there, so the parking lot was packed! It's unfortunate, because I really had a vision for the bridal party against the Flatsopoly wall. When you get lemons - just make lemonade -- I incorporated the cars as props in this photo:



The sun was strong -- so we played with it a little...



The following isn't "photoshop gone wild" -- it's part of a Twilight emulation that I plan on creating with the entire bridal party -- this is step one.



Now for the engagement session -- Colleen and Brian were such an easygoing couple -- I'm looking forward to photographing their wedding!
