One of the best parts of our jobs is meeting so many great couples and experiencing their unique, amazing personalities. Lys and Ian’s engagement photo session has to be one of the most awesome photo experiences we at Daniel Taylor Photography have had.
We would describe this session as Downton Abbey meets steampunk. For those of you who aren’t familiar with steampunk, it’s a retro-futuristic sci-fi niche, It incorporates elements of late 1800s steam machinery and Victorian style. Pretty cool, huh? The industrial Sloss Furnaces was the perfect spot for this couple’s engagement session.
We were super impressed with how talented Lys is, making her own dress for the occasion. Her corset, Ian’s clothes and their accessories were from an online specialty clothing retailer that specialized in period clothes, with impeccable attention to detail.
Since steampunk goes with the Victorian England era, we wanted to give the couple that feel with their photos. We used more subdued colors and incorporated brown and white and sepia tones instead of more modern black and whites.
This session was so fun, y’all and we just love it when couples incorporate their interests into their engagement photos. Watch for Lys and Ian’s beautiful wedding on the blog soon!
