Props are a great way to add a bit more life and visual interest to your engagement photos. But where to begin? Things such as blankets, furniture, and signs are a great starting place; however, to really make an impact, focus on working in personal items that are near and dear to you. For Laura and Travis, that item was their vintage tandem bike that they adorably refer to as "Tina." While they still played up the beautiful outdoor Wisconsin scenery in their engagement photos, their bike certainly was the star of the show...well, second to the couple's love for one another, that is! Photographer Dani Stephenson was head over heels working with the couple AND their bike. She couldn't get enough, and neither can we! Now it's your turn...
From the photographer:
This session was perfect. Laura and Travis are so incredible, they are warm and fun and easy to talk to. They are so happy it radiates right off them. When Travis originally emailed and said, "We met at a triathlon and fell in love over butternut squash," I was sunk, bummed, and sad that I was not available on their date/location. Then he emailed more, and the date and location changed. Never having heard from Laura, I thought,"What a great groom to take the reins on this!"!But little did I know, they were not yet engaged. Travis set this up before proposing to Laura! When Laura called she told me the whole sweet story and how she always wanted me to be their photographer ,so he did this behind her back in secret. I was so smitten! Then they tell me they have "Tina" their tandem bike and want to incorporate her into the photos. I was over the moon! It was truly all meant to be. I'm ecstatic about their August 2015 wedding. This fun-loving, adorable couple really gets the big picture in life, and I am happy to be a part of that. Enjoy a preview of my time with Travis, Laura, and Tina. Ok, so I may have a small crush on Tina...and her owners.
