I love photographing an intimate engagement photo shoot. I try to approach the scene in a romantic way and capture the real character of the couple.
I met Julie and Dean at the Interlaken Inn on a cold and cloudy day. I usually prefer using only available light as long as there is a good quality of light. Being a wedding photographer I have learned to adapt and adjust my photography approach according to the conditions. I decided to use a single flash with an umbrella and create artificial sun light. In this way the tone of the scene became warmer and more inviting.
I used a Fuji GFX 50S II medium format camera with my favorite prime lens, the Zeiss Otus 100mm 1.4. I believe such a camera and body combination creates images with a character similar to film photography.
