Had an awesome shoot Saturday night with Maria and Dave. This was the first engagement shoot to try out some new techniques. Engagement shoots are different than weddings because we have more time to be creative and I am able to work with the couple without any distractions.
One thing I noticed about down town Salt Lake City is that there is more than enough light to shoot down there without any additional lighting (I was at f 1.4). If you are ever visiting, do not let night keep you from coming down and trying some longer exposures.
We had a GREAT GREAT time. 🙂
Here are my favorites from the shoot:
I like to ask couples what they would do if someone or something really upset them. These were the responses I got.
I was really surprised with Maria’s…she growled….LOUDLY….I love Dave’s reaction. 
The crazy thing about this shot is it was straight out of the camera like this:
f 1.4, 1/4, 320 ISO 24mm
Thanks again Dave and Maria for a super fun time. You have about 150 shots like these or better out of the 500 or so we took. I was very VERY happy with them. 🙂
Out of curiosity… did you mean to capture the birds on the building… they are in the same position gaze wise as the couple!
i thought that shot that came straight out of the camera looked like it was blue screened or something…that’s pretty cool
All of them are so good! Amazing!
Tracy,I am so glad you pointed out the birds. I hadn’t noticed them. That is pretty funny.
hmmm….its possible that was planned… 😉
Michael, was FINALLY able to get on the internet to see the pictures!!! lol. Dunno what to think about the whole — um, growling one. Everyone thinks that would be the PERFECT one for a wedding announcement since that’s how it will be. I have NO idea what they are talking about 🙂 Again, thank you so, so much! You are so talented and we are very grateful! Can’t wait to see the rest….. YIPEE!!!
All amazing pictures!!!!!!!!!!
wow these pics are so beautiful they look fake ! very nice
Call me old-fshioned, but I LIKE shots that come straight out of the camera. Sprucing them up via various methods may make them more exciting, but it also makes images (or parts oft hem) look fake.
