Akil Bennett Photography

Wednesday, April 8, 2009

Last Friday I had the pleasure of shooting two of the most prominent Rock Bander's I know! In all seriousness though, these two were awesome. While going through their images after the shoot I could tell that they truly love each other. That's so awesome when that is able to come off on camera! Anyway, here is an image from the shoot...check back tomorrow for the rest of the images.

Dominique & Ryan : Engaged

Wednesday, March 25, 2009

I had a great time shooting Dominique and Ryan's engagement shoot last week! Seriously, they are two of the coolest people I know. Even though we didn't get to use our original location they were able to wing it and just go with the flow. Dominique loves desserts so Craves Cupcakes was an excellent substitute location. I can't wait to shoot their wedding next November, but more excited that even after I can call them friends. Peep the images!

Akil, you did a wonderful job shooting! The pics are very creative. Of course, I too agree, it doesn't hurt to have such a good looking couple. I just know the wedding pics will be just as awesome!

Holly & A.J. : Engaged

Wednesday, March 18, 2009

I took Holly and A.J. to the Aquarium downtown for their engagement shoot this past weekend. Even though we had terrible weather for most of the day, we were able to get some cool photos between the rain. I had fun talking sports with you guys, looking forward to the wedding in July!

Jessica & Mark

Wednesday, February 4, 2009

Every once in a while I'll book a client over the phone without ever meeting them in person. Don't get me wrong, I would love to meet all of my clients in person before I book them because building that relationship before the wedding is one of my favorite parts of the wedding process. I understand that everyone has different circumstances though, whether it be work conflicts or out-of-town clients, so we aren't always able to do that.

Well I had never met Jessica or Mark before their engagement session at Empire Cafe last week. Not that it mattered...these two are seriously 2 cool 4 school. Turns out that Jessica even went to high school with 2 of my aunts and they knew each other! Such a small world. They'll be tying the knot next May.

Prepare yourself...this is probably my longest Engagement Session post...EVER. Enjoy!
