Bowling Green, Ky | Engaged | Misty & Matt

So….about today. Today was cold. Today was windy. Today was snowy. But….I LOVE today! Because today, I got to do the BEST part of my job. Capturing people in love. Capturing the kisses, the laughs, the shared glances, and hearing their stories. And, I even got to shoot with my husband! It really just doesn’t get any better. This was the first official session Chris and I have shot since we attended Imaging USA in January. We have been dying to get out and really try out some things during a real live session, and today was perfect! And I just have to say…we HAVE to shoot more engagement sessions…they are seriously one of my favorite things ever :)

Misty and Matt are so incredibly sweet together. I’ve known Misty since we were freshmen in college, but hadn’t really had the chance to get to know Matt until recently. All I can say is that these two definitely have that special kind of love…that we-can-handle-anything kind of love. It was so beautiful to see the real “them” come out in front of the camera today….especially Misty, who has told me before she has a hard time not making her “model” faces for the camera. I feel so blessed that they have allowed us to see inside their relationship, and celebrate along with them. We can’t wait for their wedding in July!

Normally I would just post one or two for a sneak peek, but I made an executive decision (because I can! Ha!) that since today was a snow day and I’m mostly caught up on other work to edit more and post more than normal :) Enjoy!

Uh huh. You know it’s a good day when something like this happens in the first 5 minutes of the shoot!

HAD to post this one because of the location :) This is the inside of the very newly renovated Van Meter theatre on WKU’s campus. It’s not officially open yet and I didn’t think we would be able to get in, but someone on the construction crew let us in. It is amazingly gorgeous in there!!

Gorgeous.

Something about this just really draws me in…we had lots of awesome moments from this spot, but I am just loving this one :)

So sweet.

Misty and Matt-thank you, thank you, thank you for braving the cold with us today, and for just being awesome in general :) Love you all!

Better late than never…

So…I’m kind of behind on blogging. I’m so sorry everyone! Have a few sessions to share in the next little bit…but first I wanted to share an image and a congratulations to a blog regular…Misty Tomes! (And here!)Misty is one of my dearest friends, and is also a beautiful model who puts up with my wanting to go out and try crazy photographing things all the time :) Back in November though, her boyfriend Matt contacted me for some different photography….pictures of a proposal!

It was so perfect :) Matt took Misty to see Horse Cave Theatre’s production of Dracula, and unbeknownst to her, coordinated with the theatre to have some of his and Misty’s friends snuck in the back, and surprised her with a proposal up on stage before the production! It was so incredibly sweet, and I am so happy for them!

I love you, Misty and Matt!! And congratulations on graduating too :) You all are the best!

Bowling Green Engagement Session | Paul+Sara

Awhile back, Chris and I had the pleasure of taking engagement photos for our wonderful friends, Paul and Sara! You might remember them from our sniper like photo taking skills when Paul proposed to Sara. So fun! Paul and Sara will be getting married in May, and we could not be more excited for them. We hadn’t had a chance to shoot an engagement session since November, so we actually went all out and made it a double session, with some shooting in Lexington, and some in Bowling Green. Be on the lookout for a post later this week about why we love engagement sessions SO much!

And on to our favorites!

We started off at the Arboretum, where Paul+Sara could often be found on a date, relaxing!

Beautiful bride to be and handsome groom to be!

Paul LOVES airplanes, so we arranged to surprise him and take him out to the airport and take a few pictures with the T-6 some of our friends own. His face was priceless when he saw it coming down the taxi way!

I LOVE this. I do not know why :)

So peaceful. This spot was just down the road from Sara’s grandmother’s house, and one of the spots she really wanted to try for a picture. I was so happy with how it turned out!

And last but not least, my favorite! I love the colors and the bright yellow of the National Corvette Museum in the background!

I love engagement sessions! Woo hoo! Have a wonderful day everyone!
