When a couple books an engagement session with us, we try to think of places and activities that will appeal to the couple in a way that helps tell their story. This can mean a special spot they spend their free time together, an activity they take part in as a couple, or maybe even just some type of random, crazy idea we can come up with to help their personalities shine through.

 

In many cases, we’re drawn to the fun, random and crazy ideas that we can drum up together, as these always seem to bring out the best in our couples. With Ashley and Josh, this is exactly where we wound up.

 

As with any session planned around a wild theme, we decided to start off the evening with something a bit more traditional. Not only does this give a bit more variety, but this is also a perfect chance for the couple to warm up in front of the camera.

After finishing up outside, we made our way over to the Beehive Picture Hangers warehouse to get started on the rest of our session! For Ashely and Josh’s engagement photos, we decided to have some fun with a boat load of color, and edible props, all shot on a few bright backdrops. The end goal was to get some silly, quirky shots of the two of them enjoying their time goofing around together. And they nailed it.
