    what I really like about this is that you are simply just using a single camera without other accessories yet you produce wonderful shots. and the video isn't boring. other videos just talk too much, while you get straight into action. I love this.

    Location and wardrobe have a lot do with how an image is going to turn out. A tip for couples wanting a magical engagement shoot is pick your clothes wisely and ask a friend with a good eye about your choice. Color scheme is so important and making sure it goes with the backdrop (location). This couple does it right, her maroon dress and flowers are excellent for this shoot. Nothing ruins a picture more than I'll fitting clothes, boring clothes, or ones that don't match the background.

      You do a fantastic job directing them and making them feel comfortable. When you make them laugh make sure to also capture those spontaneous moments 😁.

      do u manual focus for close up shots with the sigma 35? the focusing on mine is kinda hit or miss sometimes

    Such a beautiful HUGE bouquet she has? This is a wonderful presentation of natural light poses and how wonderful that you had that overcast soft-box sky. I absolutely LOVE your post production quality. That, partnered with your wonderful posing direction, made for a truly fabulous session. Thank YOU soo much, this was a coffee break very well spent!!! :) I'm sure they were thrilled with you and the results.

    My husband and I are actually really awkward at posing so I'm loving how much she's guiding them through I wish our photographer could have done the same. All our pictures are of us laughing at each other lol

    I can't handle, they are so cute! I notice that in a lot of the photos, then the woman is usually the more striking figure or vice versa. She might be looking right at the camera or she has a large accessory to make her stand out. How would you shoot so that there is a balance between the man and woman?

    Awesome work, Jessica!! I had two questions though.
    1. It seems like an overcast day but at what time did this photo shoot happen?
    2. How did the photos look straight out of the camera? Did you have to do a lot of Lightroom work?
