Engagement | Heather & Barry

I love shooting engagement sessions! They are the perfect opportunity for me to really get to know the couple before their wedding day...and it really sets us up
for a comfortable experience when the day finally arrives!








Heather and Barry are, yet again, friends from High School...well, Heather is...Barry is new the the picture for me! I've known Heather FOREVER!! I have some vague memories of a summer art school that we both were a part of in elementary school...wow! It seems as though 27 years old is the time to get married for everyone I know! Crazy??



They have had quite a time booking all of the events of their wedding so far and they have just recently settled on a venue. Heather and Barry have chosen to be married in The White Chapel at Rose Hulman in Terre Haute. This is one of my favorite places to shoot in town. There is a great wall of glass windows overlooking a lake that the stage of the sanctuary is "floating" over. It is absolutely beautiful, especially in the fall!








I love how playful and fun they are together...it made for some great candid shots of them...I can't wait for the wedding!










We also really wanted to shoot some photos at the 24 hour prayer chapel downtown, but as you can see...it really isn't open 24 hours! We missed out on the art on the inside of the building, but I think we made the outside work just as well!



I love the huge red doors...

Engagement |Elisha & Isaiah...

I'm so happy with the results of this photo shoot! Elisha & Isaiah were awesome...We wandered around downtown Terre Haute and got tons of shots to help tell their love story (which was discussed afterwards over some delicious Mexican food...)



It's crazy how similar their story is to ours! They have known each other since they were little kids...elementary school...they have old photos of them together and knew each other all through out up until the end of high school. It wasn't until after school was over that their romance started to bud and develop into, not only a friendship, but true love ~sigh~






I couldn't resist taking these lens flare photos...I think I ALWAYS seem to take this kind of shot at evening photo shoots! but I love them! and these came out especially 70's style....

Engagement | Amy & Matt

It's been a little while since I've posted any work...but that's because I've been out shooting photos! ~Whoo Hoo!~

Amy and Matt are getting married the first weekend in October and we had to hurry up and get their engagement photos shot before they were no longer "engaged"...

Matt didn't seem to have any problems puckering up for our photo shoot! Which made for a lot of very romantic photos...





Here are a few of my favorites...I love that you can tell that they are in love...Can't you just see it??





Amy's lovely daughter had the duty of being my "assistant" for the photo shoot and we couldn't let her go without getting a few shots of her with mom! Besides, she was all dressed up!!
