Amid recent concerns over the stability of their relationship, one of the photographers who captured The Bachelor stars Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson’s engagement photos reacted with their thoughts about the couple. Joey and Kelsey got engaged at the end of The Bachelor season 28. After The Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner’s reputation took a hit, Joey and Kelsey became fan-favorites. Unfortunately, backlash against Joey and Kelsey grew over their lavish lifestyle, rumored money troubles and other red flags.

Joey and Kelsey recently posted photos and a video from their engagement photo shoot. The photography team that captured the beautiful day was recently asked on Instagram what it was like to work with the Bachelor couple, with @Aperture_photos_co posting a reply on their Instagram Stories to reveal some insight into what Joey and Kelsey are really like.

The photographer admitted that they were able to see firsthand the “deep love” shared by Joey and Kelsey during the photo shoot, and it was a “truly special” moment. The photographer went on to say that the photo shoot wasn’t always serious and that they were able to laugh and have a “fun” time. @Aperture_photos_co gave some insight into their strategy when photographing couples, explaining that they want to make sure the couples “enjoy each other, love on each other” and “laugh.” They also want the couples to incorporate activities and locations that have a special meaning to them.

Have Joey & Joey Done A Good Job Refuting Relationship Backlash?

Joey & Kelsey Try Not To Let Critics Impact Their Lives

Photo shoots can, in theory, be awkward events because the people involved have to pose in sometimes unnatural angles. It’s important for the photographers to ensure they are relaxed so that their personalities and true selves shine through in the photos. It sounds like Kelsey and Joey’s shoot was a success, and the Bachelor couple seemed proud of the outcome after seeing how the photos turned out. Their love was clearly on full display, and their photographer’s techniques ensured that would happen.

During Joey and Kelsey’s photo shoot, Kelsey wore a white dress and Joey wore slacks and a white shirt while out in a grassy field in front of trees. At one point, Joey picked Kelsey up, and in another photo, he sat down on a blanket, with Kelsey wrapping her arms around him. Other photos showed them enjoying a beverage at a restaurant, sitting at a photo booth, walking down the street, holding hands, and enjoying pizza at an outdoor table.

The Bachelor couple received a lot of praise for their photos, but Joey and Kelsey shared the final results at a suspiciously convenient time: when there was still a lot of backlash toward their relationship. Unfortunately, they will never be able to satisfy everyone on social media; there will always be critics who point out supposed red flags and question their lifestyle. While there have been times when Joey and Kelsey have called out some of their critics, they’ve largely stayed above the fray, which has helped them as they continue to show off how much they love each other.
