Jared & Megan ║ Engagement ║ Indianapolis Museum of Art

Jared and Megan might have both spent their college years in Terre Haute (ISU and Rose-Hulman), but didn't cross paths and begin dating until they lived in Indy. We had rescheduled due to rain the week before and thought we were in luck with a blue sky sunny evening. Well, literally the sky completely changed in the course of about 10 minutes before their session and it turned to a heavy spring rain. After trying to wait it out, it let up enough for us to get outside the cars and try to at least get a few shots in. Lucky us the rain held off for about a 1/2 hour for us to roam around the IMA and share some laughs.

They completely light up when they are together. Jared pulled off one of the most impressive proposals I've heard yet by, surprising her with a trip to Disney (she thought she was on a trip to visit family), proposing by the Castle and then having breakfast with all the Disney Princesses. Following by a day of sharing the excitement with family at the happiest place around.

Amy & TJ ║ Engagement ║ Broad Ripple

Their story began in a place where many twenty-somethings have called home at one point, the Monon Place apartments in Broad Ripple. We spent the evening roaming around their old stomping grounds. Amy and TJ have moved out of Broad Ripple now, but I'm sure it will always hold a special place in their memories. They will be tying the knot later this fall!

Megan & David║Indianapolis Engagement

Tim's brother and fiance Megan were in town for our Gallery grand opening. The next day we got to spend a little more time together and do a mini session around Broad Ripple (it was so chilly that Saturday). These lovebirds are counting down the days until they wed, July 3rd! Clearly, Tim and I are so excited for you both.

Courtney & David ║ Engagement ║ Downtown Indianapolis

The night before Courtney graduated from IUPUI, we hit the streets of Downtown Indianapolis for their engagement session. David recently started his first job post college down in Lexington, Kentucky, where they will make their home after the wedding in July. Unfortunately a front was moving through and it was unseasonably cold and sprinkles threatened. They were such troopers though! They wanted to remember the city that had been home while they met and were dating at IUPUI. Soon they will be tying the knot at the Omni downtown.

Courtney, congrats on your graduation. Exciting things are ahead for you and David.

Chrissy + Chas║IMA Engagement

What a beautiful evening full of laughs! Chrissy is a friend from church and I am so happy to see her so in love! The fun twist of the story is that she's in love with Chas. I grew up in a small town and Chas was at my high school and we spent plenty of time together in art class. Just another example of the small world it is. We had a lovely evening to shoot their session, surrounded by the beauty of the IMA.

I totally enjoy both Chrissy and Chas and know they have a great future together ahead. They will be married in the fall and no longer live in two different cities! Just a few more months lovebirds!

Kelly & Eric ║ Winter Engagement Pictures║ Downtown Indianapolis

Kelly and Eric had a whirlwind weekend, Eric flying in from New York, heading downtown Indianapolis for engagement photos, to Zionsville to visit with his family and then an all day pre-marriage retreat Saturday before flying back Sunday. Kelly and Eric have been doing the long distance thing for a few months and it's meant lots of flying and weekends that go by too fast. The good news is that they are getting married in June and they will be together full time soon.

We were happy to work out a time to get a few engagement pictures done, but of course it would fall on the blizzard like day last Friday! Actually the pictures we did in the snow are my favorites, even though it was a nice wet snow and we were cold and soaked after. I'm so excited for this couple and am looking forward to their wedding, even though it means Kelly will be moving to NYC. Enjoy and be happy to be indoors and warm!
