Chelsea

We just couldn’t get enough of this little beauty!  This time we captured Chelsea with both of her parents.  The smiles and laughter this couple brings out in their little girl is just precious!  Such an adorable family.  Thanks again to Kristin, Tim (and Laurie) for another fabulous session:)

Nicole + Jason

Going on a romantic ‘picnic’ with our couples is one of our favorite engagement session styles to shoot.  What could be more romantic than curling up together under a warm blanket, reading your favorite book to each other in a field, all over a glass of wine?  Why, doing all of that in front of a photographer of course!  All kidding aside, this couple was a joy to work with.  The props were perfect.  We look forward to meeting their kiddos when we capture their big day next year.  It will be our first reception literally ON the water!

Jordan + Joe

We LOVE referrals… especially when they come from friends.  So when our pal Jeff suggested his sister contact us about shooting her wedding next year, we couldn’t wait to work with her!  The engaged couple opted for the urban flavor of the Historic Third Ward.  Steven and I always love how much variety we get out of this location.  Getting to know Jordan + Joe during their session was easy as pie!  Their love for life and each other really showcased through our lens.  Super excited for the big day next year!  Thanks again to Jeff for sending his equally cool sis our way.

Danielle + Brandon

This awesome couple made some really fabulous selections when planning their wedding day.  It was the enchanting texture that really got us excited!  Danielle pulled her wedding style inspiration from Pinterest and just went for it.  The succulents and branches provided the perfect compliment to the bride’s palette.  Because Danielle’s Grandpa had recently passed and couldn’t be with her in person, her Mom secretly sewed a piece of Grandpa’s shirt in Danielle’s wedding dress.  It was a heartfelt surprise that left Danielle speechless and all of us with a tear in our eye.  One of the most unique pieces of the day, one that we have never seen before, was the cross sculpture that the couple put together during the ceremony.  In lieu of the traditional unity candle, they created this beautiful sculpture signifying their unity.  Check out the video HERE.  Becket’s on the water was a delightful venue for all friends and family to celebrate.  Both Steven and I really enjoyed getting to know their family.  Thanks again to the happy couple for welcoming us into their celebration, not only as their photographers, but as guests.  We had a blast!  Congrats Danielle & Brandon.

Chelsea

It’s been about a year since we last worked with this little gal.  After a ton of goofy faces and silly songs, Steven and I were able to get Chelsea to remember us again and crack a few smiles.  A very special thank you to Kristin’s Mom, Lori, for helping us on the shoot.  Always a pleasure working with this awesome family.

Danika

Working with a fresh face is always a joy!  So when our pal Natalie referred her little sister to us, we were excited to work with her.  I know what you’re thinking… she looks like a model.  Well, that’s because she actually is a model!  We had a blast capturing some images, not just for her portfolio, but also as a 2014 graduate.  Best wishes to you Danika.  We know you’ll go far in whatever path you choose:)

Froh Family

Little Cayden is already 6 months old and we just can’t believe it. Like our last session, he is still full of warm smiles and has a real twinkle in his eye for big sis Maddie.  The session was perfect.  Set on the landscape of the Richfield Nature Preserve, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day to photograph this lovely family. It was so nice to capture Jamie & Pat alone together – they definitely still have the look of love! Always a pleasure Froh Family. Can’t wait to see you all again soon:)

Callahan

Oh my gosh! It continues to blow us away how fast these little kiddos grow up! Seems like only yesterday we were capturing Callahan’s first days of life and now here we are, a short year later. Steven and I both enjoyed getting to know the little boy during his session. He was playful, charming and very sweet on his Mom & Dad. Speaking of ‘sweet’, we couldn’t help but bring the little guy a birthday treat. By the look on his face after digging in it was clear, he was happy. A special thank you to Renee + Jason again for allowing us to capture yet another milestone in their lives. It’s such a joy:)

Allison + Aaron

Our first meeting with Allison and Aaron at a wedding a few weeks ago helped set the tone for their engagement session. After chatting a bit and getting acquainted we went back to our wedding coverage knowing we’d have a blast shooting these two.  Double A (sounds like a cool “couples” nickname right?) were relaxed, laid back, and a breeze to work with.  Photogenic beyond belief and with an all-American-high school-sweetheart love story that makes the ladies cry and the guys cringe, we couldn’t help but also fall in love with these two.  The tenderness and love they easily share with each other was golden.  Not only did we get to see the spot where Aaron proposed, we were also regaled with the story behind said proposal.  We loved their sense of style and clothing selections for this fall evening shoot – especially the vintage high school athletic gear.  We can’t wait to work with these two again next year.

Aschenbrenner Family

The warm fall light that followed us through this mid-October early morning session was lovely.  The family we had the honor to photograph was equally as lovely.  We knew we were going to get along great when we found out they named their dog after Steve – ha!  Little Zach was darling and didn’t hesitate to flash some amazing smiles.  It was such a treat working with the Aschenbrenners. We hope to continue to capture their growing family throughout the years.
