There are few moments in life which mean so much and transform our experience from then on and after in such a profound way, as the moment when a question is asked, a response is uttered and two hearts beat in a way they have never before. No one would disagree that this moment is so magical, recalling it becomes like trying to gather pixie dust. The magic swirls, but the images are never quite what was experienced. The closest you may ever get is a photo…engagement photos.
It is an almost material bliss—two lives reconfigured as one. A moment, a beginning, a memory—the ordinary moment made extraordinary. Every flash bulb, every shadow, every strobe revealing the movements to a new life. These images etch themselves into memory, as they are captured in photographs, your engagement photos, to be the material fragments of the beginning of a lifetime journey together. There should be little doubt that preceding the wedding and following the actual engagement, should be an engagement photo session.
These engagement photographs are you, should reflect you, remind you of your individual path toward each other and toward this new life. The engagement session should result in artifacts –engagement photographs- of what has been created and is yet to be celebrated and cherished daily. As the years pass, these engagement photos should be windows to the moment, to who you were in the moment of beginning and how far you’ve traveled along the journey. They should be moments that could only have been captured along your journey.
This is the pathos behind Independent Photography’s Engagement photography. There are a million ways to find ourselves at a first kiss, to share a moment of silence in which words do not fit, to hold each other in winter and feel the sun, to pop the question, to say ‘Yes’—it is the moments which leave the etching of you-two-together radiating what leads you forth toward your journey, which we seek to capture during your engagement session. Those images that are uniquely and undeniably moments of your engaging the journey you will live together, which can only be captured in an image, a photo…engagement photos.
Allow us to help you create those artifacts of this Engagement, by scheduling your engagement photography session with us.
