Here's a cool trick for your Engagement Photos. Using an off camera flash you can direct the light to where it works best. I like the Quantum Light with the Turbo battery along with the Pocket Wizards, but you can use your hot shoe mount flash.
The fist couple is set in a timeless scene. This could be taken on the streets of Venice. I posed them in a shaded area and used a snoot to direct the light at their faces only. Then blurred the background a little in photoshop.
The second image is captured on a hillside at an area horse farm. We had hoped for a glorious sunset, but ended up quite pleased with the photos we came away with. I set one light behind them and to the left to provide some back-lighting. The second light was in front and off to the right to illuminate the subjects. I exposed to the sky and had the bride kick up her leg.
A nice "comfort level" and good communication with the couple, are the other keys to a memorable photo.
