This next post is quite pic heavy. I could not get enough of these two!! I'm proud to announce that this is my first engagement photo shoot and I couldn't have asked for anything more.
So I have kind of a funny, yet sad story to tell about this little alley way. This is where we actually began our shoot and I felt like I got all the pictures I wanted at this location but as we were walking back to the car I was holding my camera up to my face and walking at the same time while checking out a doorway... bad idea!! There was a huge patch of uneven ice and I completely slipped and fell into a huge puddle of mud!! What about my camera, you ask?? Well, that would be the reason I let myself fall into the puddle because otherwise I would've had to land on my camera. Not a scratch on that baby! But I was left to walk around Salt Lake City with my whole backside covered in mud! These two were so nice to let me sit in their car on a tarp!... seriously! I now wish I would've had them take a picture of me just for a keepsake. Oh well! Lesson learned: DO NOT walk with camera in face over patches of ice!
Isn't she such a beautiful girl? I'm totally lovin' her hair!
And this location was almost like photographers in years past had placed this little vintage bench right against this brick wall and said "let them come and take pictures." I was completely in awe of how perfect this little setting was!
Gorgeous!! Need I say more?
So these bookstore shots are totally against everything I've learned as a photographer... florescent lighting is of the devil! But how could I resist with that amazing chair and all the fun books in the background? I'm actually quite happy with how these turned out considering it's not natural light. I think I want to go back and steal that orange chair... no, not steal, ask how much they would sell it to me for... I want it, I NEED it!!
And, no, this is not the same white brick wall I used in the last pictures... for some reason I seemed to be drawn to these.
