Tiffany & Sean's Engagement Portrait

What an amazing location!
I travelled to Tazewell, Virginia (USA) over Christmas to photograph Tiffany & Sean's Engagement portrait.
This image is one of my favourite and works extremely well in B&W. On Tiffany's father's farm is a this amazing tree and what a great 'prop' for the photo-shoot.
Copper & Coal (their Black & Chocolate Labs) were semi-cooperative and we managed to get a few great images with them too. They didn't sit still long though. It was quite the hill we climbed on the ATVs (thought I was going to go off backwards with my equipment on my back!) but well worth the effort. With any luck, during the wedding next July, we'll return to the tree for some great wedding photographs.

Cheers Tiffany & Sean. You guys were awesome to work with.

Fallen Giant

Tiffany & Sean were gracious enough to allow me some time to photograph this amazing tree (guess they could see me drooling at the prospects). The deep contrast between the sky and tree made this one of my favourites. The trunk was large enough to accommodate the couple as well as the two dogs, which didn't have any trouble running up and down it.
