Nikki and Mark will be getting married next year. We wanted to get the engagement shoot in before the new year. Mother nature wasn't up for it. With winds gusting over 40 mph we had to move inside. Although I still pressed them to do some shots out in the weather, they were great through out the entire shoot!
We split Carrie and Ryan's engagement shoot into two separate shoots so they could get some summer and fall shots. Just like the first time around these two are a lot of fun. They really bring out the best in each other. We had a great time again. Congratulations Carrie and Ryan!
Next year Ashley and I will be photographing Jessica and Matt's wedding. When we met with them we realized that they actually don't live too far from us, just a couple blocks. We had a great time and the pictures really show that. Below are just a few of our favorites.
There are many things that I can say about this photo shoot and the most important is that these two were great to work with! We had much adversity from the time we started to the time we stopped, but these two were great throughout even with the problems we encountered. Our first stop was the state capital. However, we didn't anticipate duel protests/rallies. So we moved along. We went to the art center where we were able to take several good shots. So we thought we'd visit the Rose Garden and Greenwood park while we were there....nope. Wedding in the Rose Garden, wedding in the ampitheatre, and some fishing thing at the pond. So we headed over to Water Works Park. Finally, no people and a chance to take some shots with the two of them. Below are just a few of our favorites.
Last week Ashley and I photographed an engagement session with Toni and Shaun. They are getting married next year and happened to be in town. The pictures turned out perfect. We had a great time with them. We just kept taking shots and moving and moving. We are really looking forward to next year's wedding.
This past weekend I had the pleasure of shooting Robin and Cale's engagement photos at Grey's Lake. We had a great time. The lake is the perfect location for engagement photos and these two have a ton of fun. Their personalities are perfect for each other. They love each other and they love to have fun. Below are just a few of my favorites shots from the shoot.
A couple weeks ago, Ashley and I got out and photographed Mirsada and Aldin. These two will be getting married next year. When these two are together you can really tell how much they care for each other. Their personalities are great together. We are definitely looking forward to next year's wedding.
On Sunday the 31st of August we had a great engagement shoot with Andrea and Rick. They will be getting married later this month. We had a good time and even took a ride on the carousel at Union Park. These two were a lot of fun and as you can see below that really came out in the photos.
Last Sunday we got our first chance to get Brandy and Teague in front of the camera. We shot an engagement session with some in studio pictures as well as some outdoor shots. After an encounter with a snake and an additional encounter with a wasp, we were able to capture some great photos. Below are just a few of our favorites.
Last Thursday before vacation, I photographed an engagement shoot for Carrie and Ryan. These two were a lot of fun. We will actually be doing a couple more shoots before their wedding next June. We shot these near the capital. It was a little warm, but not nearly as hot as the 94 degrees that we encountered on their original shoot date. Below are a few of our favorite shots.
Sunday afternoon I got out and photographed and engagement session for Julia and Eric. We hit a lot of spots downtown and took a ton of pictures. Just spending time with these two you can tell how much fun they have together. There enthusiasm really came out in the shots we got. Below are a few of our favorites.
On Sunday Ashley and I photographed Jennifer and Trae. These two are getting married on August 30. We had a great time and it was a ton of fun. We took a bunch of shots and below are a few of our favorites. We are really excited for the upcoming wedding.
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!
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!
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.
Kate and Bubba were the first of our two engagement shoot contest winners. There location selection was Buxton Park in Indianola, IA. We hadn't done a photo shoot at the park until Sunday. The location was perfect. The grounds are extremely well kept and we were able to catch some terrific shots. Below are a select few. Congratualtions to the first half of our contest winners, Kate and Bubba.
