Winter Couple Session

SESSION BY PAUL ALBU

"Hey Paul! Tell us a little bit about this couple and your session."

It all started with a giveaway, I was getting desperate because we had a warm winter in Romania and I thought I could not get a couple for a winter session. I hosted a little contest between my friends on facebook and chose them because you could really see their love for each other.  

Lia and Vlad, live in the small city of Sibiu, Romania. They were really happy for getting the chance to make this shoot because it was their first photo-session together ever. They love to go on adventures and explore new and uncharted places. I also found out that they love winter, so the cold weather was perfect for them.

The session was taken in Fagaras mountains. We walked up to the Balea waterfall, and even some of the photos are shot on the legendary Transfagarasan road. This road is one of the most amazing ones in Romania (maybe even in Europe), but in winter the most spectacular part of the road is unfortunately closed.

"What gear did you use?"

The photos were shot on a Nikon D750 and a 35 1.4 Sigma Art lens. Edited with LKO presets.

Beach Couple Session

SESSION BY BRITTANY DEJESUS

"Hey Brittany! Tell us a little bit about this couple and your session."

"One early afternoon on a Thursday, I was sitting on the beach alone and I saw this couple running around being young and free, puffing and passing a joint, taking selfies — ya know, basically doing vacation the right way. 

I told myself I'm just going to walk up to them and hand them my business card and tell them if they ever wanted to shoot some stuff to contact me (I'm super awkward).

I wasn't sure if they were local or on vacation, because the beach we were at is usually crowded by locals, but surprisingly, later that day they actually shot me a text to book me! 

They were from North Carolina and they really wanted some photos while they were here in Florida. I told her my price and then we shot these amazing photos the very next day at sunrise.

To be honest, I had no expectations for them or for myself. They were very young but still very mature.

I was however, excited to see if i had it in me to capture that young care free love that they exuded on the day I first met them. Was I able to get those moments?? Can I do this..??  I just kept saying that to myself.

I knew if i stayed focused and aware of the emotions I was trying to capture all would fall into place. 

So from the moment I picked my camera up. It was instant. There they were, laughing and running around— grabbing one another. 

Man, They totally shocked me, I was dying to photograph what they were doing and here was my moment!
I think I shocked myself more than anything. Honestly, it was a beautiful kick ass morning."
