Lainey and Dominique

Lainey and Dominique are getting married this week and we were able to get out and do a quick engagement session with them before their wedding.  The two were a lot of fun and great about being out in the heat.  We found some shady areas as well to help relieve us from the sun.  They picked out a great location for part of the shoot and we got great shots.  Then we headed over to Greenwood Park and took just a few more.  Below are some of Ashley and my favorites.  We can't wait for the wedding!

Engagement Shoots High and Low

Ashley and I have be lucky enough to have been able to take three couples engagements in the last 48 hours.  Engagement shoots are always a lot of fun because each couple is a little bit different and they get to spend some time alone expressing how they feel for each other.  Weddings are great and love is abound there, but engagement shoots are more personal and a quieter time with the couple.  We will be posting some of our favorite shots from each shoot in the coming days.

Kristen and Ben

On Wednesday, Brian and I were able to get out and photograph Kristen and Ben's engagement photos.  Later this year, Ashley and I will be photographing their wedding in Grinnell.  We decided to do the engagement photos in nearby Lynnville.  It is a small town with some really great backdrops.  The town has a main street perfect for photos containing that small town feel.  They also have a historic mill location.  We got some great shots and our favorites are below.  Can't wait for the wedding!

Ashley and Ryan

On Saturday Ashley and I had the opportunity to photograph Ashley and Ryan's wedding.  The ceremony was held in Adel.  The church had some great natural light for pictures.  The reception was at the Lake Robbin's Ballroom.  What a fantastic place for a reception.  It is located in the middle of some fields, but the building is incredibly nostalgic and looked beautiful.  Below are some of our favorite shots.  Congratulations Ashley and Ryan!

Jenny and Steve

Our second winners!  Jenny and Steve are the second winners in our free engagement contest.  You might remember that Kate and Bubba were our other winners and their photos are posted here as well.  Jenny and Steve's location was an acreage south of Indianola.  As someone who lives in the city it was great to get out and see some green, and on this acreage there was plenty of it.  We had a great time and got some great shots.  Our favorites are posted below.
