Aftan and Eric | Engagement in Chestnut Hill

I love working for friends. Some people don’t like to mix business and pleasure. I do. Eric and Aftan our friends of ours from church. I knew they were getting engaged about 3 months before most other people. Eric planned it out way ahead of time because, well, that’s the kind of guy he is. And he couldn’t have gotten a better girl.

So excited for their wedding in a few months. But for now, I’m really excited about these photos. Sunday was an absolutely perfect session for us. Amy got to come along (which doesn’t happen often with engagement sessions… yet) and we had the most beautiful weather all evening. Not to mention that our subjects were A) Fun B) Dressed Well C) Smokin’ Hot. Eric and Aftan, you’re awesome. The end.

They had a great idea to start at their cake tasting…

Eric is the champion of lawn games. Cornhole and wiffle-ball are his domain. Don’t mess…

    Awesome tilt on the fire escape photo. The selective DoF works really well.

  10. Beautiful set of images! Really love the one on the steps of the house. Love the way you used a strobe for rim light there. Amazing work!

  11. Just discovered you via a post with one of your gorgeous photos on BrendasWeddingBlog.com … We are absolutely in love with your colors and clean photographic style! This engagements session is so very lovely. We especially adore the one with them sitting outside a storefront with their reflections in the window! Thanks for sharing :)

  12. Beautiful couple, and pictures to match (or is it the other way around?).

    I am just making the switch from Nikon to Canon and, naturally, would love to know which lens you used for photos for numbers 5 & 6.

    Tony, I can understand if you don’t want to get into Q&A on the blog. If you rather not answer, that’s cool.

    Cheers,
    Ernst

  13. Amber (Eric's Cousin):

    AMAZING!! Beautiful pictures for what appears to be a perfect couple. I am so happy for my cousin. He deserves much happiness!!

  14. Sheila Bender(Eric's sister):
