This week’s engagement session was with Amanda and Kenny. I met them right after sunrise at McDaniels Farm. It was a very cool morning in the high 40’s. They could not have been more gracious about the cold weather. She wore a beautiful long dress and he a complimenting dress shirt and slacks. Perfect for a brisk fall morning in Georgia.

McDaniel’s Farm is a hidden gem of a park. It is on a 1930’s era farm with historic barns and outbuildings. There are also mixed use trails that go around the park. In the middle of that there are fields with some great morning light. In the very center of the McDaniels Farm is the main house owned by the McDaniels family. It is a great location for your engagement photos, providing lots of options for your Atlanta photographer.

I love really engagement sessions! I get to know the couple and the couple gets to know me, so that when the wedding day arrives I know what they are comfortable with and am not such a stranger to them. The best photos are when everyone is at ease and enjoying the moment, so engagement sessions are much more playful, relaxed and fun. We are not looking at a clock or worried about having to be somewhere at a particular time.

Another reason I like engagement sessions is that I get to know the couple on a personal level. I ask a lot of questions about family ahead of time how to accommodate everyone. I also like to ask questions abou the couple themselves and got to know Amanda and Kenny better during our shoot. I found out where they met each other, the moment they fell in love, and what traits they admired in each other. Both of them have deep devotion towards each other and will help each other when the waters of life are rough. What I most enjoyed was how they looked at each other. You could tell that it was more than quick infatuation. They grew in love over time, which is rare and special.
