Andrew’s proposal story: “As for how we met and the proposal, we had mutual friends, and the proposal, well we’ll just say it was impromptu and poorly prepared. I had had the ring for a couple of months, trying to wait for the right time, but I couldn’t wait any longer to ask and just decided to ask her one night while laying in bed. Not the storybook scenario, but that’s our story!”

Our photo session started at Zaharakos, a old fashioned ice cream parlor in Columbus, Indiana. They shared a root beer float making a mess but laughing the entire time. We moved to Washington Street and kept on shooting. I love to make couples enjoy each other and these two certainly did!! Sarah’s cute polka dot dress, beautiful dark hair, and bright eyes really lit up every time Andrew kissed her. The peony bouquet from the Bloomington Farmers Market was a fun prop that we threw into a couple photos.

I’ve been reading Bob Davis’s Lights, Camera, Capture: Creative Lighting and the parking lot was a perfect place to play with off camera lighting. The stark contrast of the empty garage and fun lighting made for some dramatic photos that I LOVE and hope Sarah and Andrew do, too.

We’re going to do part II of our session later this week as it began to get atmospheric. I’m hoping for a killer sunset to get that romantic glow on this cute couple.

A huge favorite right here… the framing, the pose, the light, the angles… happy photographer = me
