Bobby and Sarah's Engagements

Yesterday morning we had the pleasure of photographing Sarah and Bobby's engagement photos. The couple currently live in New Orleans, but have family in the area, and thus were able to meet us in Frisco to take their photos! As Sarah had told me she and Bobby were "really nerdy," I spoke with a library official to secure permission to shoot their photos at the Frisco Public Library, and it was a fantastic location.

Here Sarah and Bobby share a kiss in front of the building:


We spent a lot of time in the children's section, which had these cool chairs and colorful walls. Bobby pretended to quiz Sarah as though she were on a talk show:


Up in the adult section, signs warned is to be quiet. It was a fun challenge to direct using only whispers and gestures. Here the couple reads a book together, and Bobby pretends to tutor Sarah:


This next shot was one of my favorites. I told Sarah and Bobby to each pick a biography of someone they admired. After a few choices, these are what they settled on:


I liked this smile of Sarah's that you can see just beyond Bobby's silhouette:


We thought the title of this book explains itself:


The Frisco Public Library was housed inside a city municipal building, and was 4 stories tall. Here Bobby and Sarah look up from a few floors below:


Then the two went down to the bottom floor, and I stayed up top. I admire them for their courage; it probably looked (and felt) strange to dance around with the photographer out of sight, but Sarah and Bobby kept on regardless, and I loved this resulting set:


I loved framing through the various bookshelves:


and here again through the library doors:


Once back outside, we took a few more shots on the grounds. I liked the juxtaposition of sitting and standing here:


a closeup of the happy couple:


And here's a parting shot:


We had a ton of fun on this shoot! I love finding new and meaningful locations to shoot, and am definitely looking forward to Bobby and Sarah's wedding in Victoria, Texas later this year!
