One of the best parts of being a wedding photographer is taking engagement photos. The engagement photo session allows the photographer to get to know the bride and groom and get a feel for who they are before the wedding. I also find that engagement sessions helps the bride and groom become more comfortable with their wedding photographer so that you end up with some amazing shots. That’s what happened with Emily and Luke as they began to be comfortable with me and get creative and make suggestions by their end of their shoot. So enjoyed getting to know them. And i am looking forward to their Louisville WEDDING in just a few weeks!!!

We spent the day in Louisville and had so much fun. Luke really surprised me when he showed up with his uniform on.. it totally changed the game plan for the day! And we went to Old Louisville and St. James Park to match what he was wearing with the best background. Here are some of my favorites.

I love Emily’s sass!! Her personality is so bubbly and fun.. she is adorable. I like how Luke is keeping his composure.. “like he has been trained”… but i think he may have a soft spot for some little cutey!!

And since they were dressed for the part.. we just had to try and redo a classic shot. Pretty close.. We did pretty good from memory!!
i loved the shoes!!
Can’t wait for your WEDDING in a few weeks!!!
