p.1 #1 · C + E: Quickie Engagement


I'm seriously considering doing more engagements like this...

These guys didn't book an e-sesh with their wedding. They needed to make a payment so we met up for some coffee and went over details for the wedding.

I took a couple of cameras along and snapped a few shots in an empty alley next to the coffee shop.

Total time: 17 minutes

Canon 5DIII + Sigma 85
Pentax 6x7 + 105mm/2.4

you did a really nice job with this, Alan, but most of my brides would want to have the time to prep (hair/makeup/clothes) for an e-session, even an impromptu one. But for those open to it, this came out really nicely. Great job!

Good point and something I left out. When we spoke the day before, I told her that I "might" bring my camera and snap a few shots.

nice! you did great in such a short period of time. I think my fastest was 1 hr because that is all they could give me, but I have said I could do it in 30 minutes if that was all I could get, I may get a chance to do a quickie soon enough with one of my couples from out of state.

I love the variation you did in 17 minutes and in one spot. That's pretty awesome dude. I really also like how you worked that spot an made it look 'somewhat' different even though its obviously the same spots in an alley .

Great job dude!

Love it. Coincidentally I did exactly the same thing a couple days ago.

Thanks guys!

My previous record was 24 minutes. I typically don't spend a lot of time shooting during e-sessions. We tend to do more talking than anything else. I feel like I accomplish so much more by talking for an hour over coffee or drinks and then shooting for 20-25 minutes. Doing these quickie sessions shows them that it doesn't take long to get really good photos of them together. It's a nice dress rehearsal for the wedding day because I don't spend much time alone with the couple there either. That's not how I brand myself. I'm more concerned with them spending as much time as possible with their guests.

If someone wants 2 hours of couples portraits then I'll send them to one of you guys.
