If you're recently engaged and live in the Ozarks, you've probably considered scheduling an engagement portrait session with one of the many talented photographers in Springfield, MO.
While experience, availability, and of course prices are all important considerations, choosing the right photographer for your engagement portrait session ultimately comes down to one thing:
The pictures!
Lighting and composition are important too, but I've always believed that the key to taking great pictures of people is to make them feel as relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera as possible.
This is particularly important when shooting engagement portraits, because I'm trying to capture images of the natural love and chemistry that each couple shares.
Fortunately, I've become something of an expert when it comes to putting people at ease in front of the camera:) Here's a collection of engagement pictures from various sessions I've shot over the last year or so in Springfield and Branson, Missouri.
None of these pictures are "posed". I didn't tell the couples how to stand, kiss, or hold their hands.
It all came naturally, once they were comfortable about just being themselves in front of the camera.
Missouri Engagement Portraits
The great thing about engagement portrait sessions is that we can shoot your pictures virtually anywhere photography is allowed in the Springfield and Branson areas.Locations like Close Memorial Park in Springfield, MO and Moonshine Beach in Branson are very popular, and I love shooting there.
But if there's another spot that means something special to you, like the place you met or had a particularly fun time together, I'd encourage you to consider it as a setting for your pictures.
At Cool Change Photography, our engagement sessions typically last about 90 minutes, and generally result in at least 50 (if not many more) finished and retouched images similar to the pictures above.
I always encourage couples to bring along a change of clothes, as well as any props they'd like, too.
Our rate is $250 for the entire engagement photography package, which includes:
- Unlimited photography for up to 90 minutes at your choice of location(s)
- Complimentary retouch, color correction, and creative treatments on all final images
- A password protected viewing gallery so you can view your finished pictures online.
- All of your finished high-resolution images delivered on a CD, with a copyright release so you can order prints and enlargements from the photo lab of your choice.
Thanks for reading, and if you're recently engaged... congratulations!!
