Kellie & Dave | Engaged | Lanes & Games

It’s MPP and I am so psyched to be blogging!! It was about time :-)!

So here it goes… I often get asked where couples should go to for their engagement session and what they should wear. Thanks to Kellie and Dave for helping me answer this question!! I always tell couples that they should go somewhere / do something that is meaningful to them. Although parks and beaches are great, engagement photos should be fun and allow a couples personalities to shine through.

Kellie and Dave decided to go to Lanes and Games in Cambridge where they had their first date back in May of 06. When Kellie and I talked on the phone prior to the shoot, I asked her what she had in mind and she it had to be something fun. “My first question was, “Where was your first date?” She said “We went bowling”. Immediately this location was a no brainer.

She then asked me for “Any suggestions on what to wear?” Something FUN and something you feel comfortable in. I wouldn’t make someone who normally doesn’t wear a dress wear one, because they will be uncomfortable and who wants to be photographed in something that doesn’t make them feel good? So ladies… think, fun, colorful and something that makes YOU feel fabulous. Also, feel free to bring a change of clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc… as it’s always better to have choices once you get there.

Check out Kellie and Dave’s Engagement Session, they truly had a blast during the shoot and so did we!!
