#Love_In_The_Seasons

This past weekend was the second of four shoot of Mike and Ann's engagement sessions. We're doing one theme per season and this is the autumn theme.

Back in August when we did the summer theme, we planned too many locations (Graffiti Alley, Harbour Front, Center Island, Dundas Square). It was fun, but quite rushed. At the end of the day everyone was dead tired!

This time we focused on two locations and spent more time at each place. It was mostly overcast for the day and perfect for portraits. The day started out the same way and we met up to subway downtown together. First stop was UT campus. The place owns Waterloo campus hands down, so much history and heritage in the buildings. Another opportunity to understand how to use the monster with an engagement shoot. Second stop is the distillery. Not much needs to be said about this place. Beautiful textures everywhere.

We tried for a more relaxed and candid look (that's the style they wanted) so I told PYeung to take the lead while I sniped off to the side for a portion of the shoot. In my opinion, that doesn't work out too well Even though they're not looking my way, they were still being posed. It's more natural when I have them interact among themselves. The expressions are more natural and pleasing.

All in all, great light, great settings, great people. It was difficult to screw up.


*still lots of editting to do, check back for more shots, focusing on getting better skin tones*
