Last week I was given the opportunity to photograph Aerial and Micah's engagements at the Dallas Arboretum, who are holding their wedding there later this year. They are a beautiful couple and were a pleasure to work with.
We started in the walkway leading up to the frog fountains, and made this image:
Then went over to cascading fountains nearby, which fortunately was in service this time, and took this, and a detail of her ring:
They wanted a more candid look for part of the session, so I got them going down part of a trail:
Here, Micah suggested sitting with the small creek bed behind them:
Hydrangeas occupied the vertical spacing:
We made our way to a lawn and I had them lay down:
One of the last stops was the reflection pool, which can be busy at times, but luckily it was near closing and on a weekday:
This shot actually reflects a moment in transition where I didn't have to pose them at all. Couples going into an engagement session usually have a general idea of what to expect, but during the second half, I can tell they are more relaxed and naturally direct themselves:
They wanted a few sunset shots at White Rock Lake, so we left for dinner, and reconvened at a pier when the sun was on the horizon, and made these images. I used an off-camera flash to fill in for the first one:
I split them up for a couple of individuals, too:
The last spot we used was a crossover bridge at the north end of the lake, and I took this detail:
Aerial, Micah, thanks for working with me and making this happen. I can't wait until September!
