Krista & Adam - Engagement Session

[Toogy]

An engagement session I shot on Sunday, feeling like it's not my best work, very hard couple to work with. But I tried my hardest to be creative as I could with them.

Jeff,
Good work as usual. I thought that I was the only one that had couples that were not comfortable with the camera.

[ChromeThunder]

I think these shots are pretty good. I'm not sure about the composition in 2,4, & 6, but that may just be my taste. Your colors are spectacular.

What do you mean when you say they were difficult to work with?

[Toogy]

Meaning they were hard to get comfortable in front of the camera.

And personally I LOVE the composition in #4 & #6

[John E]

Great shots. Here's my 2 cents, for what it's worth. Shot #1 seems a little cold to me, in that the couple is looking away from each other (though I like the vignette over the bottom half). If that's the effect you are after, great! In #2 it looks like an unnatural pose for the couple (maybe it's the guy's hand on his pocket that bothers me). Those are just nit-picks, however. Love the rest, especially 4 & 6! You obviously are a GOOD photographer and I'm sure they will be pleased!

That would definitely teach unruly couples a lesson or two!!
I like them, and I like the compositions... too bad they were so hard to work with. They don't look enthusiastic. :P

Love your locations! #1 is awesome. Yeah they look somewhat miserable, particularly the guy but I think you did a great job with them :) Love your colors and processing.

[Stephie]

#4 is my favorite. What were you standing on? Did you have a ladder?

Amazing as usual.

I need a "I wanna be like Toogy" t-shirt.

[JimAskew]

#4 is awesome! Given your couple's attitude I think you got some great photos in spite of them!

[g-money]

All are really nice, but I love the lines in 4 and 6.

+1 on the "Toogy" t-shirt! Great pictures and I love #4 as well. Well done!

Thanks!

I was actually on a bridge when I took that shoot, using my 70-200 F2.8, it was shot at 90mm

+2 on the Toogy shirt..we should market them! I love 4, the was the tracks curve is awesome. #2 makes her look a bit pregnant, but we can't control our model's body types, if we could we'd have perfect models everytime! Great job again Jeff!

We could get a shirt and it could say 'doin it toogy style"

[collierportraits]

Not gonna comment on the above post...:D

However, my first thought was not the best I've seen from him. My next thought was that these look like somewhat difficult subjects... Nice job in not perfect circumstances! I, too, love #4. Not crazy about #1, but that's just me. I do love your compositions and assume that you also get more up close shots of the couple that you're not posting.

Question on the side: What do most of your couples do with these E sessions? Wall portraits? Signing boards? Smaller albums? Just smaller prints?

[Kathy H]

Oh no, we're back to the "toogy" T-shirts again:lol:

Great stuff here again Jeff.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE 2 & 4

[a_wall]

#4 is my fav too. not too sure about the T-shirt thing though;)

[tmonatr]

I like #1 and #4, although both look tilted slightly to the left to me.(especially #1)
