Before photography, the only way people could preserve their most treasured memories was by forcing everyone around them to stand completely still for days at a time. Today's Groupon presents a less complicated option: for $100, you get a one-hour engagement photo shoot (a $300 value) from C. Tyson Photography. Serviceable locations are limited to within 50 miles of Rockford.

Christopher Tyson invokes a unique photojournalistic style, employing a story-oriented approach to soon-to-be-spousal photography. Arranging evocative shots with a velvet glove, Christopher will use his keen eye (the middle one), finely honed sensibilities, and years of experience to create personalized photos of love doves during the one-hour session. On location, Christopher will brief couples on the ins and outs of engagement photos, giving professional tips to help calm nerves and capture natural exuberance. After the session, dynamic duos will receive a full-resolution CD loaded with all the images taken with reprint release, as well as an online gallery with all images available for reprint ordering.

Christopher began his passionate photography career with a personal project that recorded an entire year through day-by-day digital images. Offering more than mere ante-wedding accounts, Christopher can be contacted for appointments and vision sharing.
