There are times as photographers when you say, Alright this session we’re going to “bring it” on a whole new level! We try to do that on every session but Holly + Andrew’s engagement session was beyond perfect. Photographing friends is always harder than photographing couples that we’ve just met because friends are honest and wont hold back if something isn’t to their liking. That pushes us even more to make our sessions stand out.
Holly’s family is friends with the lovely couple that own this home that has been featured in Southern Living Magazine. And trust me — this place looks straight out of a magazine. Located in Sterrett, Alabama just 40 minutes outside of Birmingham, Alabama. The city is your typical rural area with a population of about 700. VERY small city! Tucked back a winding back road was this unreal home.
I said in a Facebook post that these two looked like models in their engagement session and they really do. Not only did they look like models, they acted like models. They were just so comfortable around each other. Andrew even told us that he was nervous about the session. ( This is the case for most couples we photograph. ) 9 times out of 10 this is the first time you’ve had professional photos taken outside of high school. He went on to tell us how easy and comfortable we made him feel in front of the camera. In fact, he said “I forgot you were photographing a few times.” Talk about a compliment. Especially coming from a guy.
This is our ultimate goal for couples photos. Although we love the fact that some photographers can pose their clients into perfect poses, we love more genuine ones. We don’t “perfectly pose,” we give our clients a general idea and have them go for it. How can you ague with a testimonial like Andrews? We don’t take all the credit though. When you have such an amazing client like Holly + Andrew it’s hard not to take a good photo!
I could go on and on all day about how much fun we had with Holly + Andrew but I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.
