Engagement Session at the Pizza Shuttle | Claire + Javonta
I recently had the pleasure of photographing Claire and Javonta's engagement session at the Pizza Shuttle, and let me tell you, it was a blast! They wanted something a little different from the typical formal engagement photoshoot, so we decided to make it a fun and casual date-like experience. So, let me take you through their amazing engagement session in downtown Milwaukee!
Downtown Stroll
We kicked off the session by taking some photos outside in downtown Milwaukee. The urban backdrop provided a cool and modern vibe to their photos, and the couple looked totally at ease walking hand in hand through the city streets. The natural lighting and architecture made for some great shots, capturing the love and connection between Claire and Javonta. My favorite part was when he picked her up into his arms and twirled them around! It felt so magical as the sun was set and it cast a golden light over them. So dreamy!
Record Shop Vibes
Next, we headed to a local record shop for some more photos. The vintage records and funky decor added a unique element to their engagement session and I loved it! Claire and Javonta had a blast flipping through records and laughing together, creating some fun and candid moments that truly reflected their personalities.
Pizza Shuttle Fun
To wrap up the session, we made our way to the iconic Pizza Shuttle. The colorful and laid-back atmosphere of the pizzeria provided the perfect backdrop for some cozy and intimate shots of the couple. They shared a slice of pizza, toasted to their love, and soaked in the joy of the moment. It was a fun and relaxed way to end the session, and the photos turned out absolutely adorable!
Claire and Javonta's engagement session is a perfect example of how you can think outside the box when it comes to capturing these special moments. Engagement photos don't always have to be overly formal or posed – they can be a reflection of who you are as a couple and the things you love to do together! Turning the session into a date-like experience not only makes it more enjoyable for the couple but also results in more authentic and meaningful photos. So, next time you're planning an engagement session, consider incorporating activities or locations that hold a special meaning to you as a couple. Whether it's enjoying a slice of pizza at your favorite pizzeria or browsing through vintage records, the possibilities are endless! Let your personalities shine through and have fun with it – after all, your engagement session is all about creating beautiful and lasting memories together.
