Engagement shoot – Irene and Jimmy at Disneyland
December 5th, 2006 | Published in Engagement Photos
This Monday I went to Disneyland with Irene and Jimmy for their engagement photography (Orange County in this case). Even though I’m not doing their photography (I’m doing their videography instead), I helped them get photos that more represent them as a couple, as opposed to the standard and traditional posed shots. Here is what happened:
Normally I’d complain about Jimmy ruining a perfect photograph of Irene, but their silliness was so refreshing! These two are completely in love with each other. Next on the list was Toon Town, which is absolutely a photographer’s dream. There were so many artistic and fun photographic opportunities.
And no I did not ask them to do that to Minnie Mouse!
Even waiting in line was fun with these two:
We were waiting in line for this ride, the shortest coaster ride on earth (but still really fun)
After that we headed over to that island (is it Tom Sawyer’s Island?). I used to play in the treehouse and fort as a kid, and now look…I’m still a kid at heart!
Jimmy wanted a photograph where his head was supporting her butt (his words, not mine)
That last one was actually in line for Indiana Jones. The texture on the walls and creepy lighting actually made for a great photograph.
And no trip to Disneyland is complete without a ride on Thunder Mountain. I guess you could call this a “posed” photograph?
On main street while waiting for fireworks.
After the fireworks, Disneyland set it up to have it “snow” on main street. This was much warmer than going to Canada for photography!
And that last photo is in the Disney Store at the end of a long, tiring, and absolutely fun day.
