This was my first full client shoot, and it went better than I could have hoped! The happy couple were two of my friends, Chloe and Timmy, who are getting married in July. We got together on the 27th of February to talk about the locations and how long we’d be out shooting. I also had Chloe put together a Pinterest board of potential poses and photographs that she’d want. Here’s a layout of the plan that we discussed:

Client Proposal

We went out to a local campground, Beaver Dick–yes, that’s what it’s called–where it has a lot of trails out into the fields and trees of Rexburg. Even though we took the pictures March 19th, where there wasn’t as much green in the trees and grass as I’d hoped, the pictures still turned out great! I used an 85 mm portrait lens with the aperture set to 1.8 to get the background as blurry as possible.

This shoot went great! There wasn’t a bump in the road as we took these photos. I do have to give a shout out to my friend Zoie for being my assistant and helping me out with the reflector and the on-hand beautician. You rocked it.

The pictures have been delivered to Chloe and Timmy, and I’ll be helping them print a few as well. Thank you, Chloe and Timmy, for asking me to take these photos for you and being so patient for my first engagement shoot. You made it so easy for me, and your photos turned out great!
