• Return To The Scene – Emma & Howard’s E-session (Tease)

  

   

  Saturday I got a chance to go out with Emma & Howard to shoot their E-Session.  I had a great time with them as we returned to the scene of the crime so to speak (where Howard proposed).  Parts of why I love being a wedding photographer are times like this, because I get to know and be part of a very special time in my client’s lives.  Howard must really love Emma because from what I heard he risked life and limb to propose to her!

   

  I in particular love doing e-sessions because I get to spend time with the couples without some of the crazy time constraints that inevitably come with a wedding day.  In reality, the time and effort that I put into these sessions and the post processing after makes this one of the least profitable things I do in a wedding package, but to me it is all worth it.  I really look at these times as a get to know one another session.  Not just from personal information shared but really so that a couple can see how I work and also so I can see how they react and also to get them used to what I do.  Yes, producing some great images for them is also a goal but more importantly the comfort we develop on this day hopefully will translate to even better images on their wedding day since they will know what to expect and I will have a better idea of how to help them to be comfortable with what is going on.  Emma mentioned to me she had fun running around and being posed because she never does it.  I told her no one does, that is why it is so helpful to go out and experience it before hand.  Let’s face it unless you are like a supermodel you don’t normally have a photographer running around taking pictures of you. 

   

  Well here are a couple of images.  I have not really had a chance to work on all the images yet.  I will put them up when I finish, so hopefully this will give you little taste of our nice little afternoon together.  Thanks E & H for making it such an enjoyable time.
