emily and dan's engagement session

Yesterday I got to meet Emily and Dan, whose wedding I am so excited to photograph in February! This couple is nothing short of fabulous - they are strikingly beautiful, as kind as they are gorgeous, and completely worked the camera. Em and Dan met earlier this year and simply knew this was it, and I saw in my time with them that they are truly so in love. Emily is not only stunning, she's also an extremely talented singer and pianist. Sorry guys! She's taken :)

The weather yesterday wasn't super cooperative with us. It snowed all day, the winds were probably blowing about 25 mph, and it was cold! And I don't shoot in a studio so what did this mean for us? Well, we met at Plonk and had a glass of wine and the shooting began! I could photograph this couple in a dumpster and they'd look just as beautiful, though.

See what I mean?



We actually spent 98% of the session outside and Emily and Dan were very brave (and cold). We found a neat little porch in an alley downtown and it provided for some fun photo opportunity :)









When I got home and started looking through the photos closely, it came to me that Dan looks like a much thinner and MUCH more handsome Vince Vaughn! I absolutely love this photo:



And this one . . .



I can't believe I haven't noticed this wall before! You'll have to check out the slideshow to see more :)



Emily and Dan, thank you for a super fun shoot! You have found a gem in each other. :)
