The next seven posts are of Jose and Vivian's engagement shoot we did in Old Sac last week. I have to admit I was a little nervous when they chose this location. I know from seeing other photographers samples of photo shoots in Old Sac that there were great locations there, but I myself had never photographed here before. Unlike a wedding, where the location is somewhat important to me, but the day itself invokes emotion and the events on their own and tell a story that for me I can easily capture. Engagements on the other hand, other then the fact that the couple is excited about their upcoming wedding and for those that like getting their pictures taken think it's fun, there isn't anything to bring out emotions because this day itself isn't significantly important. So for an engagement shoot I rely upon the location ALOT. Most times I do engagements in locations that I know have plenty of great spots perfect for pictures ahead of time...so this is how a photo shoot that I was nervous about turned out! And I think it turned out AWESOME!!! It really made me feel good about myself as a photographer too...something I am confident about but really don't dwell too much on...that I am pretty darn good at what I do!!! It's nice to have challenges in my job to remind of that! Just want to make a comment about the actual pictures in this post...yes they and I were in the middle of the street. It was perfect timing at first, then it became impossible, too many cars, but I got what I wanted before that! Enjoy...and feel free to leave a comment below...
