Engagement Photo Shoots – On Location
If you became recently engaged, allow me to be one of the first congratulate you! It’s an exciting time for both of you, not to mention your family and friends. So, start spreading the news. While you’re at it, be sure to take time to have professional engagement photos taken. There are several good reasons for doing so.
You can use the resulting images to make your formal announcement and a myriad of wedding related items too, like save the date cards, signing boards, slide shows, just to name just a few. Also, if you’re not used to being the center of attention or having your pictures taken, it is a great opportunity to get your feet wet and get acclimated to being in front of the camera. It is also chance to get to know your wedding photographer better, if you are using the same person to photograph both events.
Through the years, more than half the engagement photo shoots I’ve done have been on location. This means, instead of coming to my home studio to have your photos taken, we’ll meet up at an agreed upon location. That location can be someone’s home, somewhere in the city or at one of the many outdoor parks in and around the Tucson area.
Engagement Photography at Pima County Fairgrounds
For Tonya and Eddie, it meant a rendezvous at the Pima County Fair, the place of their first date and one of the more interesting locations, a couple has ever requested. I arrived just before sundown, as planned. Upon first observance, I was struck by the size and scope of the place. A steady stream of cars kept pouring in. Parking was very organized and being directed similar in fashion to an outdoor rock concert or major sporting event, one section and one row at a time.
Looking out my windshield, the first identifiable object I noticed was the Ferris wheel. So, I called Eddie and Tonya, who arrived hours earlier, and asked them to meet me there. As I continued to make my way on foot, I began to see glimpses of a second, much larger, Ferris wheel, in the distance. Was it real? Night was falling and, in the desert, mirages are usually only seen during the day. I guessed, I had better get Eddie back on the horn. Dude, which one you at? It turned out to be the big one, which of course was much further away. No problem. I’m always up for a good cardio!

Engagement Photography at Davis Monthan Air Force Base
Another recent and somewhat unusual location request for engagement photos came from active service members Paige and Camden. This past February, they contacted me about taking their photos at Davis Monthan Air Force Base, in Tucson. We met at the main gate. Then we drove off to a few locations they had in mind.
It is always a pleasure to be able to serve those who are serving us, so well. My thanks and very best wishes to Paige and Camden. Get your wings!
Planning for Outdoor Engagement Photos
