Alexandra and Anthony are theater actors.  So of course we had to get them on stage.  I love stage lighting for engagement shoots.  Sometimes I wish all weddings had stage lighting.  Imagine how awesome wedding photos would be if you had stage lighting.

San Francisco Engagement Session | Rachael + Brian by A&B

 

Photography by Aubrey and Blake.

Shot at Rachael and Brian's home in San Francisco.  I would kill for that awesome view of the port.  But even more than that I love their dog.

How to make sure your engagement pictures come out looking like you had fun. 
1. Come extremely nervous to your shoot.
2. Tell your photographer that you are awkward in front of cameras.
3. Make sure you hire a funny photographer. 

So I don't consider myself being that funny.  Ingrid, tells me that I'm not that funny.  I know I'm not that funny.  I don't crack jokes or have special one liners that I use to make couples laugh.  I think I just tend to make brutally honest observations that my couples and I can all laugh about.  When I can be real and honest about the silliness of trying to make my couples look all romantic in front of a camera, then the fun begins.  I hope that helps every camera shy person feel excited about their next photoshoot!
