Last Friday I headed up north just past Pancake Bay with Rachel, Ryan and their dog Gibson to smash up some wild engagement photos. This was officially one year away from their wedding! After receiving multiple bribes from Rachel and playing with her emotions (see the post below this one) we can finally launch their shoot onto the world!

Rachel and Ryan were awesome during the day. We had a minor traumatic experience while driving on our way out but moved on and had a great day out at Ryan’s camp on Hibbard Bay. Rachel and Ryan were up for anything from climbing into old, smashed up, rusted cars without wearing any shoes (they left them on the beach) to jumping into the water for some moody and romantic couple shots. That water was cold, I should know I was in it as well. I was also splashed by it when I took the time out to laugh at them.

Thanks for the great day guys, even if I came back short a pint of blood from all of the mosquito bites.

Quote of the day (as best as I remember it):
Ryan: Can we hurry this up just a bit, I’m getting bit in here.
Curt: Just hold on for a second, it’s all for the shot and I AM GETTING BIT OUT HERE! (I then proceeded to point at the blood running down both of my legs).

Can’t wait for the wedding next August guys! For now enjoy the pics!

On Thursday I got together with Bridget, Brian and their dog Stanley to rock out their engagement shoot. We started off at a beach area to the west of the city where Bridget spent most of her summers growing up, from there we headed downtown to tackle the Government Dock area and the surroundings of the Bushplane Museum where they will be having their wedding next year. I haven’t shot in any of these locations before so it made for a fun day.

We tried incorporating Stanley in to as many shots as possible but he was more occupied with running around in circles and jumping into the water so we just let him do his thing. Bridget and Brian sneakily hid awesome props throughout our first location including Brian’s vintage boat and an old bike owned by Bridget’s mom – both of these things were just screaming “shoot me!”. They both also rocked the footwear with a wardrobe change in between the two main locations which added some extra funk to the shots.

Bridget and Brian thanks for the great day and I’m looking forward to your wedding next year!
