Brittany/Josh Engaged!

Rarely, if ever, do you have someone tell you prior to shooting their photo that they "like the whole cheesy thing". Most people are drawn to cutting edge, trendy, overly edited stuff these days it seems. When Josh told me that as we wandered around downtown, I laughed. Not cheesy, but despite my tricks and plans simple ended up being the call of the day. Simple, real, refreshing, "it is what it is". While describing Josh and Brittany perfectly, this ultimately ended up being the theme of our time together and photos. I find that with every photographic experience my results increasingly reflect the characters and traits of the subjects being photographed regardless of how much I kick, bite, pull, scratch or edit. There is something impossibly stubborn and perplexing about this. I didn't plan these photos this way. I suppose they just didn't look "right" any other way.
