This is Teppo and MJ.
They are happy. They have fun together. They are getting married.
They got engaged a few weeks ago. The wedding was going to be in August but things changed and now it is in April. They needed photos for invitations ASAP, so we spent the afternoon on Saturday walking around Cambridge with my camera.
MJ has camera phobia like I used to (and sometimes still do). I told her not to worry or focus on the camera and just try to have fun. I don't approach people (in this case engagement) photos as a glamour session - but rather as a means to announce your good news and show the world how much you enjoy being together.
It's not about "see how beautiful I am" (and MJ is beautiful); it's about "see how happy I am." Real happiness has a beauty all it's own.
I think they did a wonderful job.
Smiles abound.
So cute!! LOVE the pictures!!
ReplyDeleteI think you definitely achieved that "happy news" look you were aiming for! Very cute and professional looking!
ReplyDeleteAmazing pictures. I love your philosophy-- these are so much more genuine than many of the more "glamorous" sessions out there. You really have a gift for balancing lighting, scenery, and color with your subjects.
ReplyDeleteThese are A-D-0-R-A-B-L-E!!!!! You did an amazing job capturing their excitement!I would take the real over glamorous any day!
