ERIN MICHELE PHOTOGRAPHY: Engagement Portraits

Frequently asked questions

How do you identify your primary photographic style?

1. Posed and formal photography: These are the formal portraits. 2. Candid Photojournalism: These are the natural moments that I will capture throughout the day; from your elegant gown as your walk down the aisle, the look in your fiancee eyes when he sees you for the first time to the final farewell you share with all your guests as your leave your reception as husband and wife. 3. Romantic Portraiture: These are the fantasy images you see in magazines. Romantic portraits that while posed show true relationships. It is a moment alone in your busy day with the one you truly love and want to share the rest of your life with. With backdrops of silent water, fields of flowers or majestic architecture, these are more than photographs. They are art pieces that can be planned in advance to suit any room in your new home together as husband and wife.
