Jessica and Richard’s lovely Discovery Green engagement shoot by photographer Sarah Ainsworth has so much to teach us about how to get great results form your ES. First, don’t be afraid of color! It’s no surprise that Discovery Green’s “wall of color” is a hugely popular spot for photo shoots of all kinds. Those blocks of bright color just POP in photos, and lend their energy and excitement to every subject that stands in front of them. But Jessica and Richard take it a couple steps further, bringing their own bright hues into the picture. Beautiful. Love the his ‘n hers Converse, too! OK, second, include your best friend (you know, the one with the paws and the tail). So many cohabiting to-be-wed couples share a beloved pet, they’re more like a trio than a duo. Plus, dogs are just CUTE. Third, and maybe most importantly, have a little fun with your photos. In addition to serious shots with serious expressions that show the depth of your emotions, bring in a few whimsical, humorous or flirty poses–Jessica and Richard’s totally adorable photo-in-the-photo and “Richard, the photographer” shots are perfect examples. Sometimes letting down your guard a little (or a LOT) makes for the most meaningful and cherished engagement shots of all. Thanks, Sarah. And congrats, Jessica and Richard!
