We wanted to share a few more pictures from Pam & Anthony’s engagement session here in Denver! We spent some time at Washington Park and the DU campus. So many great places to shoot and such a fun couple, we could of gone for hours! Usually with engagement sessions we don’t set a time we play around until we have gotten what we want. We don’t always go to multiple locations for an engagement shoot unless they are close to each other or in this case somewhere special to the couple.
Luckily for us their wedding is this weekend downtown at the Brown Palace Hotel. We can’t wait to take these two around Denver and play on their wedding day!
Congratulations again Pam for graduation with your law degree from DU and passing the bar!
Angie is working on orders and its always really cool to see what people order. I must have missed this one because it had me cracking up. It has my thoughts added to it:). Hope you guys think it is funny as I do. We promise not to scare your children when you bring them in for their portraits:) Kids really crack me up. You never know what you are going to get in their portrait session.
We have talked about our friend Danica at Makeup Envy. She did the makeup on Jessica and a few other sessions on our blog. It can not be understated what a good MUA Makeup Artist can do for the look of your photo’s. I don’t think most photographers put much importance on good makeup or talk with clients about it. Whether or not you are going to use a makeup artist on your wedding day you should always apply the makeup before the wedding day to see how it is going to look. Many brides make the mistake of picking a look that is to aggressive and applying it on the wedding day and not liking it (its to late to change it at this point). To much makeup is also another common problem. I know many brides that would have looked better with a more natural look. If you can see flaking or uneven areas the camera is going to as well. As a photographer we can use airbrushing to help it but many photographers use techniques which even out skin tone, but still leave some of the texture making it look natural. If the texture on your face is a bad flaking makeup job, it makes it hard, if not impossible, to make it look natural. I think the best advice I have for you is to put some thought into your makeup before the wedding to make sure you are going to love it. Danica has a nice tutorial on daytime makeup that you girls might get a kick out of go check it out.
If you are looking for makeup tips, classes or a makup artist for your wedding you can contact Danica at (303)317-2171. You girls will like her she is one of the nicest people in the world and an artist with a ton of talent.
Here is the second installment of the fire theme model photos. They were so much fun to take. Angie and I like how everything from makeup to wardrobe was thought out. The reward is when all of the thought and creativity come together to make something special. It can be very satisfying creating something from scratch and from a vision in the back of your head. We hope you guys enjoy!
Special thanks to our friend Sarah a very talented local artist who painted the red and orange background for us. If you would like her information please contact us so we can give you the details.
