A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of spending a Sunday afternoon shooting Chantel and Kai's engagement portraits. The couple chose the University of Tampa campus as their setting.
Chantel and Kai share a very deep love for each other, and have some incredible chemistry that made this a really fun shoot.
The key to capturing great images on an engagement photo shoot is finding a way to put the couple at ease in front of the camera. I typically start by asking them to take a walk, as we did here, down a beautiful tree-covered path in the park...
Chantel and Kai had no problem relaxing and being themselves in front of the camera...
Then, we headed up to the veranda on the front of the historic Henry B. Plant museum...
Up next, after a clothing change... we took some shots on the back veranda of the museum. It's one of my favorite spots on the entire University of Tampa campus for portrait photography, especially in the late afternoon when the sun's shadows are longer.
I did some post production work on both of these next ones to give them an "art-sy" sort of look that the couple wanted.
As the sun continued setting, we went back outside to get some fun shots in the park...
Another great spot for portraits in the UT campus is in and around the metal sculpture in the center of the park.
These are of course just a small sampling of the images I captured for Chantel and Kai on their engagement portrait photo shoot (there were over 90 total).
I'll be photographing their wedding on Clearwater Beach later in the year, and it should be a great time. Congratulations, Chantel and Kai!
