Creative photography for engagement sessions is so much fun. We try to capture real moments instead of heavily posed, still portraits. Not everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera, so we spend a little more time with you and make it fun. Sure, everyone needs some great formal portraits, we suggest to our couples to bring 2 changes of clothes. Start off with the formal poses, and get the classic photos that you need for announcements. Next, we change clothes and have some fun. Romantic, modern, artistic....it's a matter of catching you having fun. Our sessions require your undivided attention, so we block out several hours for our typical engagement sessions, turn off all cell phones, and clear the schedule for the afternoon. If you are in a rush, it will show in your photo session, so relax, have fun, and let us find your comfort zone. Sometimes the most romantic photos are simple shots of a couple just holding hands, a gentle kiss, a sweet embrace, or a gentle whisper in the ear. We will take time to catch you and give you a collection of prints that you will love!
Memphis Engagement Photos
Michael Allen offers modern, edgy, artistic photography that catches a couple in love. Great photography is really knowing when to click the shutter, and how to get a couple to relax and be themselves. We love to shoot on locations that offer great lighting, beautiful backgrounds, and something that the couple can relate to. Do you have a favorite restaurant or street cafe, let us know, we can call and arrange to use the restaurant for a session. Is it going to rain on your shoot day? We can reschedule for a better sunny day, or we can simply bring a bunch of umbrellas and go splash in puddles. It's all about creating a scene like you'd see in a romantic movie.

As the editorial photographer for Southern Bride Magazine, we offer couples our experience as commercial photographers. Our shoots are professional, using the best cameras in the world, and we bring our creative talents to every session. Lots of people have cameras these days, and you can probably find someone to shoot your pictures for free, but chances are that their lack of experience and understanding of art, light and emotions will result in below average photos for one of the most important times of your life.

Modern Engagement Photographers - Memphis Wedding Photographers
As the editorial photographer for Southern Bride Magazine, we offer couples our experience as commercial photographers. With a fresh, modern approach, our sessions are designed to bring out the best in each couple we photograph.
We approach each session we shoot with anticipation of creating art for our clients. Our studio prints amazing canvas prints "in house" using the Epson 9800 Large Format Printer. As professional photographers, we go to extremes to calibrate print settings to offer beautiful color. Many of our engagement sessions end up being used a canvas print art for the newlyweds home. Our artistic approach to photography is our passion

As an editorial and commercial photographer, Michael approaches each engagement session with a professional approach, offering his clients some of the best photography in the country.
Beautiful photography, that's want every couple wants. Every client we take on loves our work, we like to make sure we are a good fit with each couple we photograph. Our clients love our visual eye, artistic and modern style of photography. We love to take each image, create samples of black & white, film looks, and brilliant color images that fit the personality of the couple. Here's our featured Engagement Session with Sarah & Jody! We went downtown to the South Main Art District and spent the afternoon shooting and came up with these amazing photos. Memphis has some really great locations to shoot engagement sessions, and South Main is full of great spots to shoot! Thanks Sarah & Jody!

Memphis, Tennessee wedding photographer. We love photographing couples. We also love creating art, and capture a couple in special moments in time is priceless.

We have a passion for modern love! Every time we are commissioned to shoot a couple, we can't wait to get to the session and help them capture some amazing moments. To us the location is important, but the lighting is the key to a great photo and on top of that, the emotion we capture is our goal. Simple little romantic poses, confidence on our end of the camera can make a beautiful session. For this session we chose a soft, modern, edgy photo style. I can't help but think that Stacie and Ben have a rock star edge and are looking a little like Dierks Bentley (and his wife Cassidy) whom we've had the pleasure of working with in a commercial setting. What do you think, do you have a little rock star hidden away in you?
