Lake Travis Engagement Photography : Poneh & Derick

I had a wonderful time shooting this fantastic couple last week!  This was a two day e-session that began at The University of Texas campus, in Austin, TX, and ended at Lake Travis, very close to the Mansfield Damn and The Oasis.  I love that Poneh & Derick came to the table with some really creative ideas for their engagement photos.  Often times, many clients tend to gravitate towards classic engagement photos.  Not only were their ideas great, but their willingness to shoot in the lake made this collection one of a kind. Right out of the gate, I knew that Poneh & Derick were going to be fun to work with.  Being a portrait photographer, I give a lot of direction when shooting..  These guys needed very little at all.  They are super photogenic (as you can see), and are just plain confident in front of the camera.  Shooting these two was such a breeze.  The second day was great for quite a few reasons.  First off, I loved their outfits for the lake shots.  The colors wok great together. Derick brought along his dog, Trevor for the first part of the shoot.  Not only is Trevor a super handsome dog, but he was well behaved and easy to shoot.  The last photo in the set was the money shot.  It was a one time deal, so I couldn’t mess it up.  In order to get the shot as sharp as possible, I had to stop down the lens to something like f/7.1 .  This ensured that the photo would be captured perfectly, and Poneh & Derick wouldn’t have to jump off the dock a second time.  We all agreed that the photo has a much better impact because they are wearing dry clothing. :0)  Anywho, enjoy these shots and feel free to share them with your friends and family!
