Engagement in the studio, a Bass and Viola for this musical couple

June 3, 2018 by Nicole Caldwell

During the wedding consultation, I found out these two professional musicians met in college, in music class, so photographing them in the studio with their instruments it was for the engagement session! Shot using the Hasselblad with both cinestill color and Ilford black and white film. I like to find out about my couples- how they met, what they enjoy in life, to create something that is unique to them.

Studio Engagement Session, a formal affair, with plenty of fur.

July 14, 2017 by Nicole Caldwell

Jannkia fell in love with 2 wedding dresses, and decided rather than choose between the two, she would get both and wear one for the engagement session! This fit perfectly for a formal photo shoot in the studio. For Jannika and Jason we created a classic and timeless look for their engagement session and included their fur babies who were quite dapper in their tuxes. Jason has quite a sense of humor, so for the second look, he was allowed […]
