Orange County Public Library Engagement Shoot

When it comes to engagement shoots...we LOVE them!  It gives us the opportunity to feel more comfortable with our clients and the same thing goes for them.  We get a chance to spend more time with them, learn what makes them feel good...when I gush over how beautiful the photos are as I'm shooting...does it make our bride blush from embarrassment or pride?  After an engagement shoot we know!  When it comes to ideas and themes for our engagement sessions...I've got a list of a hundred ideas...so if you book us and you're in need of engagement photos...I'll come up with an out-of-this-world idea that will still showcase you.  I met Kat nearly six months ago for her consultation.  She seemed shy and reserved and anybody that knows me, knows I'm not...so I worked to pull some information out.  The more she spoke the more I thought I had found my LIBRARY bride!  She loved the idea as she said her and Mike met in college and spent a lot of time together in the library!  I adore books...libraries, the quiet...the endless, ever awaiting comfort of a good book and the maze of shelves adorned with colors and depth...

Bill worked on getting permission to do a quiet shoot but there was no other library I wanted the shoot done in than the Downtown Orlando Branch.  We'd like to say a HUGE thank you to Tracy Zampaglione the Public Relations Administrator of the Orange County Library System who so kindly worked with our scheduling needs and escorted our team throughout the library to make sure we weren't disturbed (or more like we didn't disturb anyone...but we didn't).  The photos came out better than I hoped for.  Kat and Mike are NATURALS in front of the camera and I actually had to get them not to smile so much.  We used books for props and my creativity sparked and I found a book about diamonds to work in some of our magic!  We ended our session on the tracks at Church Street Station for the iconic factor...but really we hit this one out of the park!!  Thanks again to everyone involved in helping make this another success.  We can't wait for their spring wedding at Mystic Dunes!
