I had a great time with Kelly and Charles while photographing their engagement portraits.
It was a chilly and windy day (I know, no more comments about the weather), but it made the view at the lake very dramatic as waves crashed onto the shore. The wind sure worked perfectly for Kelly’s hair! Fortunately her goose-bumps don’t show up in the photos… 
As it mentioned in our Engagement Portrait article on the main web site, these sessions are a wonderful opportunity to practice taking photos with the bride and groom before their wedding day. The practice is for making them feel more comfortable and to give them a chance to fall into a more natural, spontaneous way of posing and being with each other really in front of the camera. All of this is very useful with most couples because not everybody is instantly relaxed when having their photos taken.
I am glad to report however that Kelly and Charles were! They fell into a fun, easy and affectionate way of being with each other in front of me from the beginning. It was a pleasure to capture the moments of their personalities. This will make it much more casual and easier for all of us on the wedding day to get great results for wedding photographs!
More images coming soon from their session!
