I’ve wanted to use the moped in some photos for a while. It is fun to ride, and it might be even more fun to incorporate into photos. So, when Dawn and David came to Harrisonburg from the D.C area I knew it would be the perfect time to bring it out – just a little advantage of doing an esession where I’m at. It also helped take away the deer in the headlights feeling that most people get when stepping in front of the camera. We started downtown in a more urban setting and then went a few minutes away into the country so we ended up with a lot of variety that I’m excited to show you.
Time for some history on the moped. After the shoot, I posted one photo, and we realized that Andy who first bought the moped went to school and ran at Geneva with Dawn. I know Andy but didn’t connect the dots day of since I was too busy taking pictures – so thanks Andy for the great find!
Gorgeous light, gorgeous couple I serious love all of these photos and hope you do too. I went to school with Dawn’s twin sister Dana and ran with her in college, so for anyone else from Houghton who is wondering where they recognize Dawn from – that’s probably it. Actually I have to admit I felt like I knew Dawn since I knew Dana, and had to keep reminding myself that I really didn’t! I’m sorry Dawn. We finished off the session with something personal that both Dawn and David enjoy – running! I loved the idea of a few running photos and let’s be honest runners – how many good photos do you have? Either you have a crazy looking leg, look half dead during a race, or are beaming with a post-race sweat. Those are all important photos, but I wouldn’t mind having some normal looking ones as well – how about you?
I had a great time with you guys and can’t wait for your wedding! enjoy everyone and can’t wait to hear if you like these as much as I do.
