Engagement Photographer Hudson Valley { Candice and Grafton }
First off if you’re looking for an engagement photographer take a look at my [Hudson Valley engagement photographer](http://www.davebrownphotography.com/Hudson Valley-Engagement-Photographer.aspx “Engagement Photography Hudson Valley”) portfolio.
Well it certainly has been a while since I’ve posted. I’ve been really busy with other little projects, and I’ve been in my own little bubble coming up for air here and there for some engagement photography shoots. Everyone say Hi to Candice and Grafton. This cute couple is from the wonderful state of Texas. They are a great pair together. Plenty of laughs, loving life, and each
other. Really they were a blast to hang out with taking pictures. I was even impressed when they called me out for being too cheesy for their taste.
We had a ton of fun walking around downtown and getting some great shots. I took a new path through downtown and I really like how it worked out. There were a bunch of great new places I found to shoot. It’s weird I feel like every time I walk around location scouting in Hudson Valley I manage to find new places to shoot. I keep thinking I’m gonna run out of locations, and have nothing new to shoot, but every time I push my comfort zone I find great new locations to shoot.
I have to say I’m really happy with the way this shot turned out. I had this shot in my head when I went location scouting, but I managed to capture a moment that was even cooler than the one I had in my head. I love the ability of photographing people to surprise you and change what you had crafted in your head. The human element is always something I love to capture.
Exposure:
1/320 sec
Aperture:
f/3.2
Focal Length:
110 mm
ISO Speed:
500
For that shot I really didn’t do much, just a little bit of playing with it in lightroom, and other than that it’s just straight out of the camera.
They had told me that wanted more of a “nature” feel to the shots, and so I tried to get as much greenery in the shots as possible.
This next shot is probably one of my new favorite locations, I’m not going to give it away with the color version of this shot, but the black and white looks great anyways.
The slightly overcast skies on that day made for some of my most favorite black and white shot’s I’ve ever done.
I had a different shot picked out for my last shot on here, but I keep coming back to this shot, so here’s the last shot.
Anyways I hope you guys like them, and thanks again to Candice and Grafton.
