An engagement : Indianapolis Engagement Photographer

Two weeks ago, my little cousin Derek (which is kind of ironic considering he's 6'4" now  ;) asked his wonderful girlfriend, Amanda, to be his wife.  I was honored that they asked me to take their engagement photos, but we had to work fast.  Amanda recently graduated from Yale, and was leaving to spend the summer in Pennsylvania working at a camp for kids with developmental and learning disabilities.  Yes, this girl is incredible!

I had only met Amanda one time before..with her being at school so far away it made it difficult, but I'm excited to get to know her.  I actually met her the first time after I had taken photographs of Derek and his brother, Scott.  Wow!  Looking back, I see how much has changed.  Scott is married now and has joined the service, and Derek is soon to follow in the marriage department :)  I wish nothing but the most happiness for them both.

Derek contacted me on a Tuesday and we scheduled the session for the following Sunday.  It was going to be a warm weekend, but we definitely wanted to be outside so we met at the Indiana State Museum.  It's great that I picked that place because apparently it was there, at Derek's other cousin's wedding, where they two decided they were serious.   So I'm glad we could incorporate that memory into the photos.

I tell you..these two CAN NOT take a bad photo.  Seriously.  No coaching or instructing was necessary...this was ALL natural.

 

Hee hee hee..my little girl LOVES her cousin Derek, and she wanted to sneak in and get herself in the photo too.

Congratulations, Derek and Amanda.  Can't wait to see you two tie the knot!
