I recently had the honor of photographing an Engagement Session for a very nice couple, Deanna & Kurt.

Deanna & Kurt

This lovely couple is the first to take advantage of a new program where we offer a FREE Engagement Portrait Session with every Standard Wedding Package.

Their portrait session was held at the historical Cotton Mill in McKinney, Texas.

The Cotton Mill offers both indoor and outdoor scenes, great for portraiture photography.

Engagement Session – Sophie & Amr

This was a post-engagement photo session with a couple from Egypt, Sophie & Amr. I love photographing couples from other countries. They typically show an eternal admiration and love for each other. It’s always fascinating to me to hear about their cultures and traditions. Sophie and Amr had come to the U.S. to visit their relatives in Allen and to have a wedding reception. These photos were taken in and around the Marriott Hotel and the Shops of Legacy in Plano. This area is one of my favorite outdoor locations to shoot. It offers some great background scenes with the Architecture of the hotel and the Reflection Pond in front.

Outdoors under a columnade: I desaturated this image to give it that seductive “Bond Spy” like mood.

One HAPPY WOMAN!:

What makes this session even more amazing is that Amr had suffered a minor heart attack one week prior to this day. Thus, he was moving a little bit slower than normal, but manage to pull off an excellent photo session. Sophie was so excited when I delivered the proofs within a metal cover album that had a built-in CD page insert. I was even more excited to received a BIG box of her favorite chocolate from overseas. Well actually, my wife and daughter were more excited.

CONGRATULATION to Sophie and Amr!
