October 19th, 2013 - My first engagement shoot as part of my wedding photography course at Sheridan College. I have to admit that I was just a tiny bit nervous and…oh, alright, who am I kidding here, I was VERY, VERY nervous. A million “what if” scenarios ran through my mind. Stop it, I told myself, will you just relax and have fun?!
And fun we had! When Katie and Mark, my engaged couple, arrived at our shooting location at Sheridan, all the nervousness was suddenly forgotten. Those two were sweet and fun and both were very excited about the shoot. As their wedding is going to be in October next year they loved the idea of creating a fall picnic scene for parts of their engagement shoot. I had bought some sunflowers, dug out an ancient suitcase and a few old books and my shooting partner completed the scene with a basket of apples and grapes. Voila! Katie and Mark were great hanging in there despite the fact that the weather was damp and not exactly warm.
We all had a hard time keeping a straight face when I asked Mark to read to Katie from one of the books. Trouble was they were all in German, the only vintage-looking ones I was able to find at home. Mark did his best but there were a lot of urgths, arghchs and krchgchs going on!!
