Autrey Mill Nature Preserve, Johns Creek GA www.autreymill.org
Although it has been a dreary, cold and damp winter throughout much of North America, especially for us Georgian's who are usually spoiled by much more temperate weather than this, a sunny afternoon, and a sweet couple like Allison and Kurt can bring out the sunshine in the hearts of just about anyone.
We met at Autrey Mill Nature Preserve for a 4:30pm e-session, the best time of the day at this time of year as the daylight slowly starts to descend and the beautiful light at the end of the day lends itself to golden tones and creates soft shadows and great skin tones. Autrey Mill is one of my favorite places to shoot after discovering it when I received my new Nikon D3 last summer and needed a new place to try it out.
Allison had picked out their outfits for the session, even the pups were dressed to match, and they really fit the setting well. It was relaxed and fun and like usual, when I get together with my couples for this type of shoot, very little posing is done. It's just a get to know each other session. I do very little prompting and just help them to relax and play a little in front of the camera so they can be more comfortable in front of me on the wedding day.
Allison and Kurt came in to my office today to pick out their favorites and here are a few of theirs as well as a few of mine.
