Ashanti & Richard's Laid Back, Lake Engagement Session

I was so excited to meet up with Ashanti and Richard for their engagement session.  Ashanti had described the lake, docks and beautiful area in her homes' charming community, but I was blown away when we got there!  I felt like we were on location in a tropical setting and it gave the session a relaxed and fun feel. 

Of course, Ashanti and Richard were so darn cute together and flirted effortlessly in front of the camera.  This gorgeous couple definitely brought the heat and I'm excited to show you a sneak peek of their photos!

A Creative River Market Engagement Session with Jamie & Ryan!

When Jamie contacted me about shooting their engagement session, I was so excited to hear about her ideas for the shoot!  She envisioned baking cupcakes with Ryan (since they love to cook together), then taking time to meander through the City Market and then around the River Market area.  I loved this creative idea and we immediately started thinking through ideas of location.

The Farm to Table Kitchen seemed like the perfect place to start.  They allow anyone to rent out the kitchen in the City Market to create culinary works of art and they were more than willing to let us shoot in the space.  Jamie's Save the Date cupcakes were the icing on the creativity cake! 

We then ventured through the City Market, as Jamie and Ryan love to do, and shot the two of them interacting with vendors and checking out the beautiful flowers and fresh produce.  After that, we walked around the River Market to capture the love between this great couple.  It was very fitting to be in this location since their wedding will be taking place at the gorgeous River Market Event Place

Here's a sneak peek at their fun session!

Jamie and Ryan are thinking of incorporating lemons into their wedding theme, so we thought it only fitting to get this shot!














I absolutely loved Jamie's ring!








Congrats again Jamie & Ryan!  It was so fun shooting this session and I wish you all the best for your wedding next spring!
