we’re often looking for ways to tell a story in a way that’s genuine to our couples. whether it be through photo or cinema, we’re always looking to find what is true and real through our art. the framing, the colors, the textures and all the technical details that make up a particular piece come with purpose. we find that gives the art so much more meaning, for us and for them.
we spent the afternoon with kristen and brian and asked ourselves, what do you see? for me at least, i see warmth and a whole lot of love. it was a rather warm day and when i picked these teaser shots i decided to tone their set of images a tad warmer still because that’s what i felt best represented them. if you’ve met kristen and brian, you know they’re warm and laid back so having their engagement session at the beach with golden colors was very fitting. they also happen to be getting married later this year on the beautiful island of maui so it very much ties into who they are as people too.
so here we go. kristen insisted that we post at least a few teasers for her while we spend some time designing their album and i’m holding up my end of the deal. however, i thought it’ll be neat to really make this set a true teaser where i don’t show their faces. we got such an awesome set of stills for them, i just have to hold back and show only this for now : )
joyce







Kristen and Brian,
Thanks for sharing these with me. I am truly looking forward to the finished product…I love this last shot in the ‘teasers’. It is my favorite so far…see you Sunday.
Love,
Mom / Marianne
Thank you so much for posthing these teasers!!! You nailed the description of Brian and Kristen PERFECTLY! They are such a giving and warm couple to all they encounter. I am over the moon for this couple and I love that you captured who they are! Cannot wait to see the rest!
it means so much to us to hear from people who personally know kristen+brian that we caught the essence of who they are. pretty pictures are nice, but photos that are genuinely them are awesome. thanks for sharing your thoughts with us here : )
Kristen and Brian are the most inspiring couple I know to put it simply. I can not wait to see the rest of the pictures!!! I love the last one of the “teasers” as well, nobody can make Kristen smile and be silly like Brian can :)
