06.24.10  |  Engagement Sessions
engaged: melissa + walter
As you can imagine, I develop a crush on every couple I photograph, and Melissa and Walter are particularly crush-worthy. First of all, Melissa just got her Master's in photography from UNCG, so that's a crush right there. And she has the most amazing eyebrows! She and Walter are soul-connected, which is something you just can't hide (or fake). We did a last-minute engagement session (as in a week ago) for their wedding coming up on Saturday.

A couple of "behind the scenes" notes:
  • I'm not always a fan of using cameras as props (they're getting a little overused and cutesy), but in this case it's legit because Melissa actually knows how to use the camera she's holding.
  • The quilt in the shoot was made by her great-great grandmother.
  • Her { adorable dress } is by Anthropologie, and she bought it just before the shoot from our local store, which happens to run by another { bride } familiar to blog-readers!
  • I'm not always big on using textures (another post-processing gee-gaw that I fear will go the route of selective color in years hence), but I really love the ones made by { Totally Rad Actions }. I used one called "Ginger Savannah" on the last shot in this series. The textures have a great name, too: { "Dirty Pictures" }

But I digress. Instead, prepare to develop your own crush:
