Som and Michael: Engaged |
What strikes me 1st is that they are both comfortable in their own skin. . . . at ease being themselves with others.
Everyone should have a friend like Mike. Someone who is open and honest and has your best interests at heart. He’ll tell you what you need to hear, which is often different from what you want to hear. . . . . and when you look back on it, you’re glad he did. Som’s first experience of Mike was like that. Those qualities that raised caution in her early on became the things she loved about him. Truthful and open. Caring. Doing what’s right (vs what’s comfortable).
I watched Som greeting her patients one afternoon (Som and Mike are Naturapathic Doctors). She radiated welcome, caring, friendliness and familiarity. I’d seen all of that in our previous conversation but being an observer was like seeing her turned up 2 notches!
That’s the excitement of engagement and wedding photography for me. 2 people I admire joining and making each person better, stronger, healthier. The power of mutual appreciation, support and inspiration. . . . and a soul mate epitomizes that power of relationships for all of us.
Som’s idea – silhouettes – I love it! :
The slideshow video of their session:
Very nice engagement portraits. You’ve done a wonderful job of capturing the connection between this couple.
I can’t wait to see their wedding photographs.
