Yesterday was Lauren and Ben's fabulous wedding at The Candlewood Inn in Brookfield, Connecticut. I have to share this story now, while it's fresh in my mind because I really appreciated it a lot--thanks Ben!!
Last night while I was saying goodbye to Ben, we were talking about the pictures and the day. Then he started to say something along the lines of..."I don't know if Lauren told you this, but I was really amazed by the engagement pictures. When you told me to lean up against the canoe, I didn't know what to expect."
For their engagement session, we went to this little spot of land that Lauren's friend owns on a lake. I found this canoe leaning up against a chain link fence. From my perspective, it was looking out onto the lake and a gorgeous tree formed a frame around the lake. I saw this, got all excited like I do, and said, "Ben you're going to lean up against this canoe and Lauren just get close. Just look at each other." While I was seeing beautiful things happening, Ben's perspective was more like seeing a dirty canoe leaning up against a chain link fence.
I just couldn't have loved hearing this more, the more I thought about it in the parking lot, the more I loved the story--and of course I was yapping it all to Jeff. This is one of the reasons why people should do engagement sessions!!
Through the engagement session I earned their trust. Where you might see a dirty canoe, I might see this....
The photograph as well as the story tells so much. How lucky are all of those who have Alissa Dinneen as a photographer and you to have such appreciative, wonderful clients.
