Amy is one of those friends that will always, always be there for you. So when Amy asked if I could shoot her engagement photos, I was more than happy to help out! When I asked her where she wanted to have her photos taken, she told me about the night that Josh proposed. She followed a path of lanterns and roses until she reached the gazebo at the entrance of her neighborhood. How romantic is that! Congrats, friend(s)!
After the engagement session at the airport, I invited Hannah and Judah to a few more locations in Indiana. We explored the walkway of a local eatery called The Train Station Restaurant and then walked over to the exterior of an amazing blue auto parts garage-thus completing the travel theme of "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles". Afterwards, we still had some energy left so we went to an additional location-a beautiful old red brick building. Any photographer knows that you cannot pass up the opportunity to shoot portraits in front of a red brick wall! We wrapped up the session at The Commonplace, a coffeeshop where Hannah is employed, where I grabbed a few more shots (and a mocha) before retiring for the day. I had a great time and look forward to working with them in the future!
Hannah and Judah spend a lot of time traveling... She is from Pennsylvania, he is from India, they met in Germany, and after the wedding, they plan on moving to England! After all that travel time, you would think they would avoid planes like the plague, but I thought that by incorporating the theme of travel, it would make their engagement session all the more special. There is a local airport in Indiana and, at first, they were confused-"Why would anyone want to take engagement photos here?!"-but Hannah was thrilled! She even coordinated with me to plan the photo session as a surprise for Judah! How cool!
