Krist & Kelly's Engagement Session

We had the most awesome time last night photographing Kelly and Krist's engagement session! Sometimes I have a hard time thinking of this as work...it was so much fun. We started out at my favorite location - the place I call my "studio", Post Alley at Pike's Place Market. As usual, the light was beautiful and the weather was perfect.

This is a shot Gabriel took as we asked Kelly and Krist to hang out in a doorway in Post Alley. I love the look and feel of this image - very romantic.
I'm always looking for new angles, new concepts, and new ideas. I was inspired by some pretty great photographers recently, and came up with this idea for Kelly and Krist. This is one I may just have to repeat in future e-sessions...
We passed the Experience Music Project building on our way to meet Kelly and Krist, and I was hit with a sudden inspiration to use the building for our photo shoot...actually, I was surprised I never had considered it before.
It was too cool...lots of interesting colors, reflections and angles made it a fantastic place to play.
I loved the ease that Kelly and Krist had with each other...you could tell that they enjoyed being together. They were both such good sports about going along with our suggestions, even to the point of hamming it up for the camera when necessary. It made photographing them extremely easy.
An urban photo shoot in Seattle would not be complete without a trip to Kerry Park for a view of the Seattle skyline. We had to hustle to get there before the sun went down...and we just made it. Whew!
The sunset was so gorgeous...the perfect ending to a very enjoyable photo session. I know we're going to have a great time together at their wedding!
