Brandon and Eliza - Engagement

Sometimes when we meet people, we know instantly where and how we want to photograph them. This can be frustrating, because they may not even be our clients yet. So there we sit, and wait, and sit some more, until finally, they become our clients. By that time, we already have a story, a setting, a great idea for a photo session. 

When we first met Eliza, we found out she was a St. Louis Rams Cheerleader. Instantly, we ignored the ideas of her on the 50 yard line, her in her uniform, and went straight to the "Ok, let's pretend the two of you just met at a cocktail reception in downtown St. Louis; instant chemistry, so instead of staying at the reception, you sneak out behind the buildings and steal some private moments." Of course, we were there to photograph it!

We truly enjoy engagement and creative sessions, we love setting the scene, and creating a storyline that leads to great photos. 

Of course, it helps to have a creative, great looking couple to work with. Obviously, Brandon has taught Eliza all his moves, and made our job easy. Thanks so much. 

Can't wait for the wedding!

I love our pictures! You guys are so creative and artistic. Everyone loves them and comments on what awesome photographers you guys are. Not to mention the "run down" area made the best pictures by far. Good eye!Thanks so much! I can't wait for the wedding pictures.

Thank you! We have found that we are not the ones making the great pictures, it's you, our clients. We love to set the stage and draw out personalities. That's what we capture, not something that we create, but something we expose; you.
