Berkeley Engagement Photography - A day in the lives of Cindy and Paul

Posted February 3rd, 2010 in Lifestyle / Engagement

It has been over a month and a half since our last blog post - I have been helping Peggy update photos and content on her wedding invitation and stationery website: olio style.  Check out what’s new, both her website and her blog - her work was recently featured in Grace Ormande!

When Cindy and Paul first told me about their ideas about this engagement shoot, I couldn’t be more thrilled!  Instead of traditional portraiture, they wanted us to capture a “typical” day in their lives.  While the idea was simple enough, it took meticulous planning and execution - details such as pajamas, coffee mugs, contents of the picnic basket, and the evening gown were all well planned in advance.  Also, what made these images special was the fact they were not shy about being themselves in front of our lenses - the laughter and joy was genuine and contagious.  We had so much fun, we can’t wait until your wedding in March!

Don’t forget to check out the slideshow near the bottom of the post.  Note the little twist towards the end - when I was processing these images, I was reminded of a particular movie.  I inserted its theme music into the slideshow, recognize it?
