Engagements

I've been looking at some photography blogs trying to come up with ideas for pictures. What I'VE really liked is the backgrounds with some bright color. There's a photographer named Dustin Izatt who has some REALLY cool stuff. With the invitation layout you've chosen here's what I'm envisioning in my head. I think it'll need to have a really bright background to make it pop, so when you unfold it one side isn't just plain. It needs to be a solid, bright background. OR, it needs to be a background with a lot of texture. Maybe like a brick wall, or a wood fence, or SOMETHING that has texture. Does any of that make sense? It's hard to explain, but that's what I'm envisioning in my head. Here are some examples...





The one with the orange wall is Lee Cannon. He was helping a friend practice her photography skills by modeling and doing "fake engagements" with a friend. I asked him where this was taken and he said downtown Logan. I'm going to drive around and see if I can find anywhere that looks something like that... what do you think Melyn and Cameron? What do you guys WANT in a picture? Any ideas you have would be helpful because you might not like my ideas, and this should be something YOU guys want.

Whitney! Those look fun - I hadn't thought about color or texture, you are right...
