Engagement shoot

NikFan1 · Mar 5, 2008

My 1st engagement shoot. This couple was great! Young and full of life!! He is in the Army and was down for the weekend. They offered to pay me but
I was unsure of how the pictures would come out and did not like the location
too much. I'm really just getting practice so I can charge for shoots like this. Thanks for looking!

Forgive me for the heavy burning, the background was houses and power poles

3,,5 and 4 are amazing!

I think they will be thrilled - you'd never know it was your first shoot of this type. Doesn't hurt that they are an adorable couple, of course... I really like 3, 4, and 5. The first and last are cute and they will love them, no doubt, but it's just not a pose I'd choose myself, so I'm not really drawn to them.

These are great, good enough that you should have charged them.

I really like the way these turned out. They are very high quality photos! The only thing I thought was a little 'odd' - maybe it's just me but it looks like she's wearing her wedding dress! lol So I'm getting a more wedding vide then engagement vibe.

Beautiful pictures though!!!

Thanks a lot everyone!!! They were very pleased with the pictures, it was a fun shoot. The only thing I would change is the location. It was very refreshing
to photograph them. I'm 26 but remember when I was 20-21 and engaged to my wife! I wish we would have hired someone to take engagement pictures for
us. Thanks again!!

I think the images are excellent I only would add one thing and that is at least one straight up image that cleary shows both of their faces.

Thank you!! I do have a few with them looking at me but have not had any extra time to go through all of the pictures yet

I'm liking these, the only thing that gets to me is the sight of a uniformed ncm wearing his beret when not standing lol

Awesome Shots. For your first shoot, i would say you are definitely a natural. Nice work.

What did you shoot with? It seems like mostly the 50mm 1.8.
