Joey and Alicia’s Engagement Session at Las Vegas’s Silverstone Golf Club
15
April 3rd, 2009EngagementsJoey and Alicia are getting married at Silverstone Golf Club (we actually recommended them to check it out and they LOVE it) so we figured an Engagement Session there would be in order. Jeremy and I did this shoot, collaborating on the poses and Jeremy did most of the shooting while I was the “lighting technician” (read: lugging the big off-camera strobe around the golf course).
Usually the groom is “along for the ride” but Joey was really into this. I think part of it was his excitement of getting nice photos of his beautiful fiancee, but he was genuinely excited to be involved. That is GREAT and really shows his love and committment to Alicia.
Of course it could also just be “the way it is” with Joey, Alicia and their family… because when they came to proof their photos, they had an entourage of people including moms and aunts and grandmas! That was nerve-wracking but really fun to see the various reactions when we showed a photo.
So anyway, poor Joey and Alicia, it was very bright and we not only brought our big flash but also a reflector to help with fill light. They probably felt like they were part of a movie production or something…
Silverstone has this sschuuhweet arch at the front entrance. Very dramatic! They call it “Mediterranean Style”, so we did this Michelangelo-ish pose under the arch (shout out to P.G. for that term!). And FYI, the sky is un-touched other than saturation and contrast (the clouds really are in that cross-hatch pattern!)

With the cool clouds that day, we wanted to use them as a backdrop as much as possible. We just love the sky, the wall, and the fun “come hither big boy” type pose that Alicia had.

This was a practice shot (working on settings) and it just happened to be a great expression and perfect “glow” lighting…

This one was processed very “warm” to bring out the red highlights in Alicia’s hair to match Joe’s red hair…

Here’s one of Alicia’s “glamour shots”. The neat thing about Silverstone is there’s lots of interesting locations in a small area…this area has some slightly industrial-looking concrete stairs.

Here’s another “awwwww…..”

Time to goof off a little - we had plenty of the “posed” stuff…

Here’s a bit of an optical illusion - you’d think they were in some sort of meadow or field, wouldn’t you? Well they weren’t… and how we did that will remain our little secret
(but there’s no photoshop involved)

They couldn’t hide from our big telephoto lens!

Our style is usually “soft/glowy and clear/clean” but we pushed our boundaries a little bit… the shot really needed a “spy” look, some distortion, blur, and “noise” added

Last one of the blog, by now it was almost dark and there were lots more clouds. Oh, and now we figured out why Joey liked this photo shoot so much! He got to kiss his beautiful fiancee A LOT! (watch your hands, young man!)

We were so happy that Joey and Alicia and their “entourage” liked our work. We knew that different processing styles are liked/disliked by different people - and of course mom and grandma didn’t like some of the shots that Alicia and Joey liked (and vice-versa) - but that’s why we always do varied processing on our photos AND give the “original” version on the disc, too!

Wow is right! If the engagement pix are this fabulous, can’t wait to see how the real deal wedding pix turn out. I especially like the “spy” shot with the greens and the grass and the silhouettes in the arch. This is some very talented photography…congrats!!
