The Look That Stayed

A tight engagement portrait where one look over a shoulder gives the whole photograph its charge.

A good engagement portrait usually starts with comfort.

The frame works because the body language is doing the speaking. Nothing needs to be pushed very hard when the connection is already visible.

For Alberta engagement photography and couples sessions, I look for simple direction, honest posture, and locations that help people feel like themselves rather than like they are performing for a camera.
