Shelby and Alex live just a few houses down the street from us, so it was really easy for us to meet when they were looking for a wedding photographer!
I’ve gotta give these two credit: they’re cute, they dressed well, and looked good on camera. This makes my job easy. We started out headed to Radnor Lake, but the day was so beautiful that a line stretched down the street from the parking lot… Well, we were already running a bit late and were chasing the pretty light, so we were forced to park “creatively” in order to get some portraits before the sun dipped too low. We worked fast in the fading light and got some great shots that worked with the lovely fall colors, and fortunately the Rangers were kind enough to let us off with a warning on the parking spot.
From Radnor, we moved along to the Shelby Street bridge (what an appropriate street!). I’d told Alex at the start of the shoot that I always encourage uninhibited spontaneity during my engagement sessions, but he waited until we were up on the bride to surprise Shelby by picking her up and spinning her around. The reactions and expressions in that shot are natural and wonderful to me.
Thanks for the wonderful session guys!
