This summer our single’s group from church went on a trip to Lake Powell for some fun in the sun. While there, Benton and Shelley met each other and are now getting married this week! I had the privaledge to do their engagement portraits, and it was a real treat! Here are some of the images from the session.
This first image was one of their favorites. They got it as a larger print as well as had me use it on the cover of their wedding announcement design. I love the feel in this image, and how they look so happy together.
We did a number of color and black and white, but it seemed that the favorite images were mostly black and white. Here is one of those, using the street in front of the studio as a backdrop.
Next I did some individual portraits of each of them and used these to create a collage design shown below.
And here is the final design. I love these collages. I design them to tell a story between the images and to show many different feelings and emotions in just one piece. This was created as a larger wall item and is going to look so great in their home.
Here is close up of one of the images of them together. I think they look so great together in this portrait. I know that they will be a happy couple.
And here is a glimpse of their wedding invitation. It is square, and this is the invitation folded out, looking at the front of the card (right) and the back of the card (left). It folds down the middle. This photograph made the perfect opening for the invite, because not only is it a great photo with a lot of punch, but if people open the invite and lay it flat, the leaves on the left make such a great transition to the back.
And here is the inside, folded out. I blocked out the names, locations and other personal info, but I just wanted you to see this. Again, it folds down the middle with the spacing of the image to the left making the perfect place for text. Here inside, the image is more dramatic and romantic, and the couple is not looking at the camera but are in a moment with each other. This image really works in the design because there is a juxtaposition with the image on the outside of the invite.
As you can see from their invitation, their wedding is this Thursday. I wish them well and a big congratulations for finding each other and hope that their day is wonderful!
Again for everyone else, it is very close to Christmas and so it’s time to get in your final orders to me, even if it’s for one of my temple art prints. Give me a call soon so that I can get things finished up for you.
