this beautiful in person! And they’re two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. As of yet, my business plan doesn’t include me officially venturing into weddings … but that doesn’t mean I don’t love a creative engagement session and I’ve been fortunate to have captured several recently.

The two are getting married in February, so we headed downtown for a very urban engagement session. I love finding new textures, chippy paint backdrops and vintage colors to play with. Lucky for me, so did they. With models like this, I might as well have put the camera on auto pilot. There’s really no way to take a bad shot! These are some of my favorites as I get further into post-processing. Watch the blog because it’s highly likely there will be more later this week when I’m finished.

My jaw nearly dropped when they got out of the car for our session. We had discussed attire and locations prior to meeting and we had talked about the dress, too. Not the vintage wedding gown she’ll wear in January …. but the other dress. The one that played into our vision of sassy, fun urban images. And not just any dress with any accessories. It had to be that dress with those shoes.

I was pinching myself for so many reasons because I knew what we were about to capture.

We had beautiful weather … and a candy store of textured backgrounds. But most importantly, we had a boy and a girl in love.

Meet Anna and Marcus. Soon-to-be husband and wife.
