Sometimes it isn’t easy scheduling engagement sessions, especially if your clients live on the west coast and you’re on the east coast! Trying to find a date that would work for this engagement session was the most challenging part.  Once we nailed down a date, the weather cooperated and the rest was cake. Lauren and Ian met at Dartmouth College as students and their love only continued to blossom after college. Their love for adventure took them out west (so lucky!) and also to the top of Stowe, Vermont on one of Ian’s favorite hikes where he proposed to Lauren. They are planning their dream wedding for next year at the new Woodstock Inn Kelly Way Gardens venue, which I am super excited about.

For their session, you can tell these two are quite giddy with one another but since I also received an inquiry recently on how to capture genuine images on a wedding day, I thought I’d share a few pointers for couples looking to capture images such as these either on their wedding day or during their engagement session.

My biggest piece of advice is to relax and know that there is nothing you can do that would be wrong. I promise to get photos of you looking at the camera to make mom, dad and grandma happy but for the most part, I enjoy capturing couples being themselves. These seem more genuine and nature than overly posed and stiff portraits. Another tip is simply to have fun and allow yourself to be playful. Photography sessions don’t have to be and shouldn’t be painful. I promise they are only painful if you make them that way. Sessions should be full of nuzzling, kissing, laughing, hugging, tickling, hand holding, whispering and I may even ask you to sing or dance. The point is to play and have fun with it. That’s when you end up capturing some of the best photos.

Lauren and Ian, thank you for trusting me, going along with my silliness allowing me to capture these photos of you two. I can’t wait for your day to arrive next year!!!
