I was again commissioned to cover a surprise engagement, this time for Stephen and Valerie. Stephen contacted me weeks prior to his arrival and let me in on all the juicy details of the evening. I showed up at the Aruba Westin Resort, introduced myself to them and went out to the beach to take a few shots. I’ve started out with some pretty simple poses getting them comfortable with being infront of the lens as I know that it is pretty challenging for us non-models, therefore I take my time and really talk and attempt to get the clients as comfortable as possible in as much as I’m convinced everyone has their inner “bedroom/bathroom mirror” sexy, so I attempt to engage this sexy infront of the lens.
This state of mind was not difficult for them to achieve as they are two people that exudes passion. It is very obvious how Valerie sparkles when she’s in Stephen’s presence but Stephen has his inner sexy as well, having planned this engagement from beginning to end. Asked her dad, arranged a photographer, booked a top (romantic) restaurant (Flying Fishbone), candle lit table for two at the water’s edge, toes in the sand experience under the stars explains it all. The brother’s sexy!
Stephen and Valerie met in college four years ago and in Stephen’s words “We’ve been together ever since” They love to travel, they’ve been to Aruba twice prior to this trip and love it very much so what better place for Stephen to pop the question. Valerie and Stephen, congratulations and happy planning!
Blessings,
Bryan Morris
