After successfully navigating family photos for my sister, I agreed to give couples photos to go for my brother and sister-in-law. Without kids to corral, I was surprised at how much quicker and easier these photos were to get. Of course, one thing that made it much easier was that my SIL had done a lot of research and had collected a bunch of inspiration images that we used to get us started.
These were all taken near my hometown, where they now live. I arrived a day before we took these and, after looking at my SIL inspiration photos I did some location scouting. We ended up shooting in about 5 or 6 different places, but it was worth it to get a good variety.
The sky was dark and dreary all day, so we were worried we wouldn't get any of that golden light, but we lucked out and the sky cleared for us just in time.
It is safe to say I won't be giving up my day job to become a photographer anytime soon, but it is fun to be able to take a few photos for family now and again.
I think these photos deserve a love song, so here is one of my all time favorites, an oldie, but still beautiful. Ray LaMontagne's
Let it Be Me.

I love that last one!
These are great Jamie. My favourite is the fifth one because the DoF is really sharp right through from front to back. I bet they were really chuffed!
These are all great! Good job. Not only do you get great pictures but you get to spend more time with your family. Double bonus in my book!
these are such good photos though!!
I ove the setting of the photos!
These are wonderful! What beautiful people, and what gorgeous country!
Jamie, these are wonderful, and what a beautiful couple they are!
Awww these are so cute and sweet Jamie! ♥ it. I hope you are doing great! And I miss you :)
Jamie,
Great photos. They look like such a happy couple. Love your work.
you did a beautiful job with the portraits ... second career!
The first and last shots are perfect. It's hard to get the faces lit up properly without extra equipment.
Wow, Jamie, these are amazing!
