When Michelle asked me to do an engagement session of her and her fiancé, she warned me that Wade was really anxious about the shoot. We talked about things to ease his anxiety. I asked them to discuss what kinds of things that they would be comfortable with, like how “lovey-dovey” they wanted to be during the shoot. I also chose the location carefully. I steered them away from some heavily populated locations that might make them feel self-conscious, and we ended up going to a park I’ve already shot at in Sherwood Park. My instinct was right, as the park was completely ours for the whole shoot. And as it turned out, Wade and Michelle were absolutely amazing to work with. They were relaxed and natural. I hardly had to give the direction for posing. They came up with some great ideas of their own, and on more than one occasion I had to warn them that they were doing this pose “at their own risk.” The shoot turned out great and it is easy to tell that these two are madly in love with each other.

Stay tuned for more photos as I’ve got quite a few bookings for July! As always, thanks for your support!
