Annie n Rob E-session in park...

zoomer

Well the in season is here, three engagement shoots in the last two weeks and a senior shoot then three weddings in the next 4 weeks...so long off season.

So I shoot in this park a lot, problem is Annie n Rob are getting married in this same park in 10 days, so they want the engagement shots be in different spots than the wedding shots.

So with my usual money spots off the table I did an alternate route and shot in mostly all new spots, which was actually kind of fun.
These two are fire fighters of the forest kind so are both in really good shape and we had a lot of fun.
Annie warmed right up to the camera and Rob never really quite got there...a bit camera shy, but I give him credit he hung in there pretty good.
Shot with my regular set up, d700 70-200 for the flash shots, sb800 on stand with 42" softbox. The other camera is the d3 with the 85 1.4 for the natural light shots.

good stuff as usual zoomer. And it's okay that tough manly firefighter doesn't get "too" into a photoshoot.

I agree! These are really good! What kind of post do you do? Do you shoot mostly ambient? I can tell in a few you used some off camera fill.

Thanks Dooginfif20,
Lightroom processing. Mostly straight color and black and white. A couple where cranked the saturation and contrast.

The one with the red background on the dip in the path has NIK filter used to make the greens into reds and I blurred the background a bit....lots of vignetting.

Used a lot of vignetting on the path shots, much more than normal for me, also more flash than normal in the path shots as it is pretty dark back there.
