First I have to pay homage to Jack Vettriano who inspired this shot. I know that the original painting was not on ice skates but… I’m OK with that : ) It totally reminds me of a cold wintery scene. Because of our initial idea, we scheduled this e-session which lead to my actual favorite photo from the day. This seems to always be the M.O… plan a photo, put all this time and effort into it, do some random other shot on the side… random other shot becomes the winner. Blammo!
This past week brought us to Castle Island in South Boston, where we had an engagement photo session with Kristi and Kyle. This is the home of Fort Independence, a historic site built in the early 1800’s. What could be a better metaphor for a strong, lasting relationship : ) There was a clear blue sky and a bright summer day, a perfect backdrop to set against their blue toned outfits. They’re truly a sweet, tender couple and a warm family that I’m pleased to work with. I’m currently uploading the photos to our online proofing site. Here is a little preview of my favorites from the day. For more historic, background info on Castle Island, click here.
This week has been exceptionally busy and several days have passed since my last blog. The last photo shoot was at Piers Park in East Boston. The bride’s last name is Sweet, which is what inspired the title : ) The photo shoot went well. We were able to get the Candid Composition which is the term we coined that expresses the Dias Photography style. We pick the perfect background, light the couple perfectly…and then in between formal shots, we capture the Candid Composition. The last photo is a great example of what we strive for. If any of you are wondering who I am referring to as “we”, allow me to explain. Dias Photography consists of me, Edson, as the primary photographer and Teresa my fiance and office manager. Kelly is our talented associate photographer, see her work here. And last but not least, Melinda is our in house photo editor and Photoshop expert. Together we do all that we can to provide a wonderful experience for all of our clients, from before the wedding and beyond : )
Here are a few pictures from the most recent engagement session that we are working on. This was a super fun couple. They were really comfortable in front of the camera and an e-session is a great way to get even more familiar with how your photographer works. We were able to get a few shots in Boston Common and along Comm Ave., always a nice area to shoot in.
Best shoot ever! What makes such a perfect shoot? Well… let me tell ya! I recently photographed an engagement session with this couple. They’re getting married in a few weeks and took advantage of the FREE engagement sessions that I offer to all of my wedding couples.
This was the quintessential Dias Photo
graphy couple. They were young, professional
and not into any gimmicky, trite photos. They wanted to be captured naturally, smiling and happy. Not only that but they were concerned that they weren’t comfortable in front of the camera and that the photo shoot would be difficult. Lots of, turn-your-
head-here and point-your-
toes-here…. nope. Sometimes that’s called for, and I’m happy to do that , but only if necessary. They were actually very comfortable, poised and a shear joy to work with. The lighting was great, and the location we scouted worked out perfectly. I had a hard time picking which photos to post because they were all this good.
