Mary and Ben!

This was another engagement session I managed to squeeze into my short period back in Toledo in June/July. We were having a difficult time deciding on a day we could all do it, until Gregg started talking about how he wanted to take some photos of fireworks on the fourth. It was as if a light bulb magically clicked in our heads, and we decided to ask Mary and Ben if they’d be up for a little experiment!

So we met in the late afternoon on Sunday to do a traditional (in our sense of the word, ha) session, and then hung out for a couple hours until the fireworks started. Admittedly, our execution was not perfect (there is some ghosting), but I’m really happy with how these photos turned out for being our first time experimenting with doing portraits in front of a fireworks display, all while not having beer bottles thrown at us for being the annoying people using flash photography during a fireworks display =).

Here are just a few from the shoot!
