Lizz, Derrick, and the Dogs

This past Saturday I also met up with Lizz and Derrick in Sewickly for their engagement shoot. Lizz's mom lives on some nice land that was the perfect location. Add their puppy, and the picture was complete. As you can see, the photos have an entirely different feel than the ones I had taken earlier that day. The lighting plays a role in this, but I think I was also inspired by the surroundings. This is something to keep in mind when you're planning your engagement shoot (or wedding for that matter). Choosing the time of day for the engagement session can almost be as important as the location. Obviously the weather is its own beast.

But back to Lizz and Derrick. We also discussed the details of their wedding, as it's coming up in about three weeks. Their wedding is going to be held outside at the Zen Center in Sewickly--I think as they described it, it's going to be a "formal picnic." It should be fun!
