It was my first time doing an engagement session at a bar setting and one concern I had was the lighting. I can either use ambient lighting or add in flash to it. But if I add flash to it, it will sacrifice the mood setting at the bar. The only available lighting at the bar are the candles, small lights by the ceiling, and red lighting around the bar area. The mood of the bar was really nice, so I chose to use ambient lighting for this shooting. To add more taste to it, I shot it as a short cut scene instead of my normal engagement session. I told the couple about a short scene of a bartender and a customer whom frequently visit the bar. They both have a feeling for each other, but didn't express it until now. The bartender learned a few card tricks and use it to steal her heart.
