A Vintage Lake Engagement Session

Vintage_Picnic_Engagement_Photos--8

If you are a theatrical couple or like to do things a little differently, let me introduce you to the themed photo shoot! I can’t tell you how excited I get when couples are down to make a whole production out of their session. A little extra work can really pay off in fun and unique images.

Meet Vanessa and David. Vanessa is a wardrobe stylist and she was all in on collaborating on this vintage couple session with her British beau. The goal was to pull together a wardrobe for the couple that was vintage-inspired but not necessarily over the top, and therefore accessible to the more modern couple. The vibe was complete with a vintage bike and a picnic set-up with old fashion baskets, sodas, and pie – all things I either had in my stash or that were easily sourceable. 

This is a perfect example of when I let the client and the session dictate the editing style. My normal light and airy style didn’t really do these images justice, so I opted more for a muted edit this time. It lends a little more authenticity and whimsy to the final images.

Dayley Photography is located in Chester County, Pennsylvania but I frequently travel for my clients. This photo shoot was done at beautiful Lake Cuyamaca near Julian, California, but if a lake engagement session in PA speaks to you, I can help you plan it! Let’s get started.
