Adam + Natalie, an Engagement Photoshoot

The times they are a-changin’.

This post seems to be older than 14 years—a long time on the internet. It might be outdated.

Way back in January, Adam, my friend and fellow schoolmate, asked if I would shoot Natalie and his engagement photos. I had been wanting to expand my experience into portrait-style photography, so of course I said I said, “Yes!”1

This is my first foray into engagment photogaphy and a steping stone to building a semi-professional photography career (Shameless plug, check out Andrew Ferguson Photography).

January isn’t a bad month to take engagement photos in, but Adam and Natalie wanted more of a spring feel. Se we waiting to schedule something until Spring Break in March. The day we picked couldn’t have been better. It was super nice out and not a cloud in the sky. I proposed2 several locations to them. We eventually decided on Red Rocks and Clear Creek.

It’s déjà vu all over again!

This is one of my favorite photos from the set, the coloring reminds me of a HDR3 image, even though it’s not

I stuck a strobe back in the back of the tube with CTB4 gel, worked out really well if you ask me

Okay, maybe this is my favorite shot. I’m just a sucker for people jumping…I have no idea why

I’m looking for any feedback that anyone wants to give: the good, the bad, and the ugly. I promise not to take feedback the wrong way…I’d rather learn from my mistakes here than be doomed to repeat them again. Let them here or, preferably, on the appropriate Flickr image.
