Amber + Justin {Engaged}

Oh I was soooo excited to post this session!  Amber happens to love Market Square and so do I.  It was the perfect location choice for their session.  All the yummy light, colours, floral decor and interesting features all worked in our favour to add a fun flair to these engagement images.  Amber described her outfit as having a bohemian / hippie vibe to it.  With Market Square being an artsy district of town the style of this session really came together.  I love it when my clients have a ‘vision’ for their photos.  I believe that it really helps enhance the overall effect of the images.  We can run with a certain idea and really dive into the details that would bring this vision to life.

We started our shoot at 9am which is typically a rather quiet time in Market Square.  It can become quite the ‘place to be’ later in the summer days, so we wanted to beat the crowd.  We succeeded, sort of.  There were only two other men there when we started shooting.  They were taking pictures as well, but of random things.  Apparently Amber and Justin were just so beautiful that they invited themselves along on our little photo venture.  They followed us around shooting shots of Amber and Justin over my shoulder and then pictures of me taking pictures of them.  Weird.   This was funny at first, but became quickly annoying.  I put my camera down a couple times and gave them ‘the look’, but that didn’t stop them.  We politely asked what they doing, and the one gentleman replied, “shooting images for my private gallery,” which was our cue to leave and FAST.  We moved spots and they followed.  The one man proceeded to give me “pointers” and critique my set up of the poses and also claimed that I apparently missed a million dollar shot.  Sorry guys! My bad.  We had had enough of these weirdos so it was time to go.  It was one of those things that was creepy and annoying at the time, but we had a good laugh about it afterwards.

I have to say that these images are some of my favourites of the year so far !  I think these two have incredible chemistry and a really FUN energy and I believe that comes through in their photos.  So much of capturing the essence and dynamic of a couple involves them feeling perfectly comfortable in front of my camera.  Justin and Amber had no problem getting comfortable and easily worked their magic.

Sorry about missing that ‘million dollar shot’ guys.  I hope you still love these as much as I do  😉
