Ryan & Sammie are getting married in October and it was time for the engagement photos, so Dan and I got to spend a great evening with this amazing couple. Ryan was extremely comfortable in front of the camera and Sammie was a natural. We did the shoot at the brand new City Garden in downtown Saint Louis. We ended up with so many amazing photos that we could hardly narrow it down to only 16.
Ryan & Sammie where in the process of buying a new home. They had not gotten the official word that the house was theirs, however; during the shoot Ryan got the call and they are now HOME OWNERS. They were so excited and it made the shoot just that much more special being able to share in the joy of them getting their first home. Congrats you guys we are really happy for both of you.
Ryan and Sammie were so in to their photos that Dan did a little painting with light. It’s a technique that he has been waiting to use for just the right couple and these two were up for anything! They sat in near-complete darkness while “painted” them with a flashlight during a long exposure. They are even going to do our first trash the dress session!!! I honestly think Dan is ready to adopt these two !! Stay turned for what I imagine will be some amazing wedding photos.

You guys did a great job on the photos. I love the city gardens, it’s a great place.
I’m curious about your gear and technique, as I’m just starting out and I’m looking for pointers.
Do you guys have a flickr account, I would love to add you?
Thanks

Thanks Josh.
I have a flickr account, but don’t really use it. I’d be happy to answer any questions you have about gear and techniques. We tried some different things with Ryan and Sammie including the use of a video light and some long exposure work. It was a lot of fin and very educational too!
Let me know what I can help you with.
