Lauren & Ryan

Here's another great spring session with Lauren & Ryan. My concept for the shoot was "anywhere but Piedmont Park". I love Piedmont and every session there is unique, but other places around the city provide inspiration, too. One day while I was driving north down Marietta St, I noticed how the sun set on the multi-colored buildings, the occasional line of trees down the sidewalk, and I thought it would be a great spot for urban-themed engagement portraits. Unfortunately when I tried to relocate the exact blocks of my inspiration, I couldn't find them! I think for Lauren & Ryan the settings of the Fox Theatre and Peachtree worked out better. As pretty as Piedmont but different.

My faves from the Fox Theatre, in this first photo I like the shadows of two people on the ground who are obviously not Lauren & Ryan but mirror their coupleness:


And this reminds me that what the photographer chooses to tell you is what you believe:




These photos are from the parking lot of a bank. We brake for purple.





Love the street lamps receding in the background here and the perfect spring breeze on Lauren's hair:

The city, always a cool element:


And thanks to my collaborating photographer Mandy Riddle for capturing these great last images I used to end the slideshow:
