alison & tim: engaged
to me, engagement pictures speak love. especially on the guy’s part. about 80% of the time (in my experience), the guy is less comfortable having his picture taken. they go along with it because it’s what their lady wants. most guys are okay on the wedding day, because it’s what they expect, but engagement pictures? “um, honey, you failed to mention that getting engaged meant we had to have our picture taken. more than once. on a weekend. when i would rather be fishing. or doing almost anything other than having to stand in front of a stranger in nice clothes in a field…smiling.”
so most of the time, i’m just really glad the guys show up. and usually once i mention that they’re going to get to cuddle up to their fiance and then i make fun of myself for using the word “cute” too often, they loosen up and we get great pictures. at any rate, i can tell these guys really love these girls just by their presence.
in this case, tim may have been feeling awkward, but he did a good job of hiding it. these two have been a couple for six years so they are really comfortable together. he and alison have such great chemistry and even put up with me making them traipse around a stranger’s farm in wintery cold conditions. don’t even get me started on the location…from the diversity in the pictures, it looks like we could have visited five different spots!
oh and p.s. these two could be models, could they not?
i’m delighted that i get to photograph your wedding in august – alison has a fun vision and great style, so you can bet it will be a beautiful one!

These photos are beautiful! so, so beautiful. I really love the second (fourth?) one, where you have the shot of the alley of trees with them off to the side, rather than in the alley. I just love the composition!
