Before the cooler weather started moving in, we met up with Michael and Gracie to shoot some engagement photos. I really didn’t have much of a vision for a theme as the time approached, however, about thirty minutes before Michael and Gracie arrived I decided there at least needed to be lemonade. Aneila and I then walked outside and noticed an orchard across the field from our house. We never even knew it existed!! That was it. Everything else just fell into place.
Michael and Gracie were so easy to work with. They seemed to agree with all of our ideas, and even pitched in a few of their own! Roughly three quarters of these images were captured on film. We were trying out our new Mamiya 645 Pro with some Fuji 400H and Kodak Tri-X. I was also shooting with the Pentax ME Super, loaded with Fuji Neopan SS, and then Kodak Portra 160. All black and white images, except for one, were captured on film and self developed.
