in love: cassie & aaron; french lick, indiana

so let me just say, i am IN LOVE with this shoot. before i tell you what a joy these two were to work with, let me first tell you that mother nature (MN) was SO not having it. we had to cancel our first date due to torrential downpours and what happens the day of our rescheduled date? yeah. thanks, MN. only this day, it was mist+humidity+fog. and now that it’s over, i can say the light (or lack thereof) scared the crap out of me. i was so a hot mess by the end. anyway, since i’m leaving town for two weeks on monday and my june is really booked, we decided it was time to suck it up.

cassie and aaron trusted me. trusted me in the rain. trusted me to work fast and i can’t tell you how much that means to me and these photos. it made all the difference in the world. these two were SO comfortable in front of the camera. as you’ll see in the photos, it seemed as though i was literally a spy capturing little moments of their every day life. as a photographer, i am constantly asking myself what i would want, if these were MY photos. this shoot? it’s the epitome of what i would want in an engagement shoot.

ugh. ok. enough gushing. i am so so proud of this shoot and am officially OFF THE CHAIN excited to shoot their wedding in october. yes, i just said “off the chain.”

seriously? come on. the fog, the twirl, the dress? fairy tale.

pure cuteness right here.
