Engagements > May 25, 2012

Tomorrow is the day they’ve waited for…and planned for for months.  I’m certain they didn’t plan on the HEAT that will accompany their outdoor wedding…but I doubt they will mind too much.  Tomorrow is the day they finally become husband and wife.

When I asked where they wanted to have their engagement session, Mandy and Jason both quickly agreed on Indianapolis.  A city they no longer live in but is still very dear to them :)  We met in THE most random location last September and between wardrobe malfunctions that included wrinkles and a few random spots (origin unknown!), a trip to the drug store, rain and I’m sure many other things that have slipped my mind, we still managed to get the images they hoped for.  Mandy and Jason are such an easy, relaxed couple and dealing with the few minor bumps in the road that day proved it.  NO WORRIES….and the best part?  Our insanely random meeting place yielded the coolest accidental location find in history…see wall above :)

After our accidental location #1, I let Jason lead the way to the places he and Mandy had chosen for the rest of the session.  He drove us to the canal, a place I hear is very popular for photographs but I had never been before!  Such a beautiful area and the overcast skies made shooting there so easy :)

Loved all the green accents we found that day as Mandy kept saying how along with her purple dress, was going to match the wedding colors :)

Yes, this umbrella makes random appearances sometimes during my shoots.  No, it’s not a prop.  It only comes out when we NEED it!  Mandy so badly wanted to shoot at a park downtown to incorporate some more colorful backdrops.  Unfortunately, the rain beat us there :(  We managed to snag a few minus the umbrella as the session wrapped up with just a little drizzle to contend with!

A grassy field was also on Mandy’s “wish-list” for engagement looks….well, we weren’t going to find any where we were downtown, especially as the rain was getting worse.  But WAIT!  We spotted a TINY patch of weeds..with the skyline behind.  Perfecto!!!

Mandy and Jason, everything went our way the last time we met…even when it looked like it wouldn’t.  I’m not gonna lie.  The heat tomorrow will be a bit much…but I have no worries that everything will be flawless.  There will be  no rain on your wedding day.  Any minor wardrobe malfunctions will not require wrinkle releaser.  It will be all that you had hoped for and more :)  See you tomorrow…and make sure you remember the sunscreen ;)
