Erika Carlier Photography - Questionnaire - Other Couples/Engagement Shoot

Email

Do you have a location preference for the shoot?

I love to include couples on this decision because at the end of the day it's their photos to keep forever + it sets them at ease if we do it in a place they are comfortable in! Is there an environment that would make you both feel most yourselves in? (The outdoors, a grassy field, the city, or a small town, etc.) Are there any places that mean a lot to your relationship + could we possibly take photos at this place?!

Do you have a preference on a morning or evening shoot?! (I'm weirdly a huge morning person - I know controversial)

What we really are aiming for is soft low light. This means we can either plan to start 1.5 hours before sunset or about 20 minutes before sunrise. To find those times for the location + date sunrise/sunset accordingly and plan around that time.

What drew you to my style?

Is there anything you think I should know or do to be able to be the best photographer for you two and make you feel the most chill?

A 6 pack of beer? A bottle of prosecco? A picnic? Lots of inappropriate jokes? No inappropriate jokes? Should I be super calm? Should I be super loud? Whatever you need is exactly who I can be!

Are there any important items you would like to incorporate in your photoshoot to make it more you?

The pick-up truck you always drive around in together? Your doggo? A picnic? A band tee from the first concert you guys went to together?
