VINTAGE ENGAGEMENT SESSION: ELIENAI + CHRISTIAN

58

May 6,2009 / CATEGORY: ENGAGED

I met this amazing couple on Facebook when they responded to a open call I posted a few months ago white I was testing a film camera. If you did not see that post you should. Anyway, we’ve been blessed over the years to photograph hundreds of fun couples. Elienai and Christian, however, take the cake. These two are willing to do anything for a good shot… you should have seen poor Elienai’s dress after the shoot, she looked like she climbed on top of a dirty train… oh wait, she did climb on top of a dirty train, in 4 inch stilettos too. We are definitely looking forward to the chance to work with these two love birds again, at least once more…..in August!

Here are some images that will make your eyeballs happy.

Valerie:

It has been a very long time since i've been wowed by a series of couple pictures! Each picture shows how much fun they're having and how much they love each other.. I adore the picture that they are stealing a kiss from separate trains and the one on the train tracks.. Or the picture that has the grass in the foreground with them sitting together.. or the black and white ones.. I just cant choose. I wish there were comment boxes under each picture but all in all this set is my favorite! Amazing photos.. I hope this great photographer photographs them as elders and captures the same love in their eyes. (May 9th, 2009 9:54 AM)

Patricia Nunez a.k.a "La Pat":

I really don't know what to say... These pictures are awe inspiring, it felt as though I was transported to another era... Stephan; Elienai is my best friend and I can tell you right out raw that she and Christian are incredibly happy they found somebody with such artistic inclination as you to be able to capture the euphoric moments that fulfill their lives. This is the first time I write a comment on a picture in your blog, I don't have myspace, nor facebook, I only have twitter (which I never write on) and I follow you because if it is not next year, is in six years when I finish medical school that YOU will definitely be the man to do my engagement pictures. As of now thank you for making my friend so happy. La_Pat (May 7th, 2009 8:02 PM)

Merari:

I keep forgetting to comment! I've seen the pics a couple of times already, haha. I gotta say, Stephan, this is your best e-session by far. At times photography can be like real state... location, location, location! I'm glad you decided to try something different. It definitely payed off. ps. Eli and Christian = hotness!

Stephan Maloman:

Holly crap! I woke up today to 20+ comments on this post alone. You make me feel ....loved. It was a great combination, Eli & Chris came up with the outfits and I came up with the location. I pass by this train everyday when I head out to my studio. One day I had the idea to do a shoot there and I knew I had the right couple in Eli & Chris. The only bad images were the once where they blinked. (May 7th, 2009 11:18 AM)

Julia:

I have been silently blog stalking you for some time now, but I couldn't resist leaving you a comment on these amazing photos. Honestly, they are BEAUTIFUL! I absolutely love second one. It reminds me of that famous VJ Day picture in Times Square. One of my favorite photos of all time. Maybe one day, you could replicate it with Dan and I. :) (May 7th, 2009 10:54 AM)

Francella Perez:

First off, your pictures are amazing!! But I wanted to comment on Elienai & Christian's photos...who came up with the concept?! Totally different and new...beautiful! And the song playing is perfect! I know it's Eli and Christian in these pictures, but YOU, the photographer is what has brought them to life! CONGRATS! AMAZING! (May 7th, 2009 10:24 AM)
