Seymour + Columbus Indiana E-Session: Stacy + Bobby

It finally feels like spring and what a way to start off with a great e-session featuring Stacy + Bobby!

These two are one of those couples who radiate with love for each other. Starting with a joke by Bobby at his expense this session kept everyone laughing. Besides smiling until my cheeks hurt, they turned on the style as Stacy tip toed on her gorgeous high heeled Louboutin’s and her posh green dress. Bobby matched with his stylish argyle sweater and donned a tie later on.

Prior to our session, Stacy sent me some ideas. I knew Seymour, Indiana would have all the perfect backdrops for those ideas. From a old train station, to a fish shack, and eventually to a parking lot, I didn’t want to stop photographing these two! They pulled off all the poses with panache and a smile.

Below are some of their many photos. It was really hard for me to pick just these!

Chad + Cheryl’s E-Session in the Indianapolis Snow

Cheryl, Chad, and I met up in Indianapolis on Valentines day to shoot their engagement session. As you all know we’ve had heaps of snow but that didn’t deter Cheryl from sporting the cutest open toe red mary jane heals and a slew of other cute fashionable threads. Cheryl and Chad are amazing personal trainers at Fitness by Design in Indianapolis, Indiana. I’d highly suggest if you are in need of buffing up schedule a session with either of them.

We kicked off their engagement session in a park just north of Indy which had plenty of soft, white, cold powdery snow. The afternoon light glittered through the trees and wrapped beautifully around Cheryl and Chad. A vintage sled, old ice skates, goofy winter hat, and valentines day hearts all complimented this session. Both Cheryl and Chad were so much fun to photograph as they really got into pushing and pulling each other on the old sled. Also, Chad was the perfect gentlemen lifting his lovely lady over the snow walls to take photos on a wooden bench surrounded by chilly snowy nature.

Military Engagement Session in Columbus, Indiana

Bryan and Jenna are originally from Columbus, Indiana but have been all over the states and world throughout their relationship. Bryan went to the Citadel and now is in the Air Force training to be a pilot. Jenna went to University of South Carolina and studied abroad in India. They are getting married in Columbus this fall so it was only fitting their engagement session was around the many unique places in Columbus.

I have to mention the temperature of the day was a whopping 18 degrees, but Jenna rocked a short sleeve vibrant red blouse and sweater dress with boots I am coveting. At the end of the session, Bryan’s rambunctious Shiba Inu trio made an appearance as the cute couple walked Rocky, Pebbles, and Cody.

Jenna is so stylish! Every outfit was planned perfectly. Bryan looked neat in his Air Force Uniform, too!

Engagment Photos at Zaharakos in Columbus Indiana

Ever since Zaharakos reopened this past summer in Columbus, Indiana, I have been a frequent visitor. Their antique marble counters, endless array of vintage decorations, and delicious hand made ice cream have rejuvenated the flavor of Columbus, Indiana. I often like to meet clients there to chat over a malt complete with old school paper straws.

Right before Christmas, I met with an adorable couple who are getting married in Brown County in August 2010. While chatting about their upcoming wedding, we found out we have heaps in common. They had both graduated from Clemson in 2005 (I graduated in 2006) we shared a couple friends and great love for Clemson University (GO TIGERS!). What a small world! They now live in Illinois and decided a good mid way point for their wedding is Nashville/Brown County Indiana. I’ll be shooting their wedding and I am teaming with outdoorsy wedding photography ideas.

While at Zaharakos, I couldn’t help but take a couple quick engagement photos for them. Their Zaharakos Special: an ice cream sundae and malt was too cute to pass up on photos. We also shot some photos in the museum side of Zaharakos along with some shots on Washington Street with the Christmas lights glittering as a backdrop.

Chicago Engagement Photography: Nate + Shannon

A tandem bike, sneakers, snow, and laughter filled my engagement photography session with Shannon and Nate in Chicago. Sure it was cold, but these two showed off their craigslist tandem around the town all the while laughing with me and at me.

Shannon and I go way back almost 10 years now to Freshman year at Clemson. I met her while at my brief stint as a Kappa Delta and although I didn’t stay in the group I stayed friends with Shannon. One of the coolest things I remember about our friendship was being pen pals when we both studied abroad.

Nate is perfect for Shannon and cracks me up with his southern charm, affinity for cool coffee houses, and chivalrous ways. He chose a classic diamond solitaire ring for Shannon and I am beyond thrilled for the both of them.

So back to their e-session, when I found out they were engaged I was so excited and knew when I was in Chicago at a reunion with my italy workshop friends I had to pop over to their side of town. Their Chicago engagement session was so much fun for me and I hope I did them justice as they are the most happy, fun, easy going people I know.

By the way Shan, somehow, someway I’ll find a way to get that tandem bike at the wedding. So many ideas for it. I love you guys for being so fun and such good friends!

Columbus Indiana Photography: Jessi + Jeremy’s E-Session

On a gorgeous Columbus, Indiana fall day with a brisk 60 degrees and crisp air, I met with the fun couple Jessi and Jeremy at Jeremy’s family farm. Driving through the rows of golden dried corn and red leaves, I knew this session was going to be full of fall flavor and color. On the lawn of their farm was these two HUGE red antique tractors that Jeremy’s family is really proud of and rightfully so. They shined apple red in the fall sun!

We started with some family photos (which I’ll post in a future blog to keep things separate) then moved into the e-session. With Jeremy’s tractors both big and small (they had these two TINY tractors for the kids), the textured barn, some pumpkins, fall colored leaves, and Colt’s jersey’s this e-session was so much fun. I can’t wait until their wedding extravaganza next fall!

LOVE!!!!
