Sarah & Taylor's E-Session Downtown

About a month ago we photographed Sarah & Taylor's engagement session downtown. We were really excited to work with these two after meeting them at Becky & Neal's wedding back in August. Taylor is Becky's brother and Sarah was Becky's maid of honor. While planning the location for their engagement session, Sarah mentioned that both she and Taylor would really like to do something with a baseball/softball theme since both of them played in high school. We ended up at a field close to Commons Park which was a perfect location for their photos. Near the park was this awesome little grove of trees- you'd never guess you were downtown by the looks of it. After taking a few photos at the softball field we walked around until it starting getting dark. I'd been really wanting to do some night photography with a couple and Sarah & Taylor said they be more than happy to be guinea pigs. Here's a few of my favorite images from our day.

Tammy & Greg's Downtown E-Session

A few weeks back Michelle and I headed downtown to Union Station for Tammy & Greg's engagement session. Having spent many years living down near Union Station, the area held special meaning for the two of them. With Tammy & Greg we spent the afternoon around Union Station and then headed over the bridge to the Commons Park area. It was the first time we photographed on that side of the Millennium Bridge so it was fun to go somewhere new. I love the shot we got of the two of them near sunset with just their silhouettes against the sky while they stood on the strange brick art structure- whatever it is =) It's so much fun to watch people become more and more comfortable in front of the camera as we get further into the session. By the end it's easy to forget the camera is even there and those are always some of my favorite images. These two are getting married next month just outside of Winter Park and we can't wait to photograph their wedding. Oh and thank you to Stephanie Osborne for the referral!

Katie & Sujan's E-Session at Evergreen Lake

A few weeks back Katie & Sujan flew in from New York City and Michelle & I met them up in Evergreen for their engagement session. Almost 10 years after we graduated high school together I never would have imagined that I'd be photographing her wedding! In high school we had almost every art class together and through the power of Facebook we met again all these years later. It's crazy to think of all the things that have changed over the years! We are so excited to be able to photograph their wedding next summer. Sujan is such a great guy and you can tell these two really have fun together. We had a great time with them for their engagement session up in Evergreen. Of course though right as we start taking pictures the rain decided to start but only for a few minutes and the rest of the afternoon the weather was great. Evergreen is such a beautiful location to photograph and the great thing about going back multiple times is that I always challenge myself to do something completely different every time. I always like to find a new location or a different way of looking at the same thing and it's fun to see how different things can turn out. Here are some of our photos from our afternoon with Katie & Sujan. Enjoy!

Jen & Ryan's E-Session in Evergreen

A month ago we photographed Jen & Ryan's engagement session up in Evergreen. We started their session at the lake and then headed to a nearby field to finish up. We'd passed by that field so many times before while heading to the lake that I just had to test out the area- it turned out to be awesome! We made it there just before sunset and the light was so beautiful! We had a great time photographing these two and getting to know them and hear how they first met. They were so natural in front of the camera and made my job so easy. We are very excited to photograph their wedding the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. Last year we said we should sell that Sunday as including a rainbow with the wedding since both last year as well as 2007 ended up with a rainbow while we took the bride & groom's photos. Apparently that tradition is continuing in some way since Jen & Ryan's wedding venue has the word "Rainbow" as part of the name- who would have thought? Anyways, here are just a few photos from their session last month. The last one is one of my favorite ring shots that was completely unplanned. A lady bug just happened to land on Jen's left hand and stayed there long enough for me to catch a photo with the ladybug and the ring in there as well. Enjoy!
