Recently, I had the distinct pleasure of documenting the engagement of Sarah and Hunter, a couple whose connection radiated with an effortless authenticity. Their vision for their engagement photos was clear: they desired a visual narrative that mirrored who they were as a couple. Rock Island State Park is where we chose to take pictures for their engagement photos.
One of Sarah’s requests was to recreate an engagement photo from her parents’ engagement session. Incorporating sentimental aspects during a photoshoot is always a plus for me because I tend to be a sentimental sap. Sarah also requested poses that represented her and Hunter as a couple. A journalistic photography style is a great approach to achieving more natural poses.
