David & Kelsey ~ A Woodsy Bicycle Engagement

The weekend is just around the corner and we have an amazing e-session to share! I love these photos and I guarantee they will inspire you to venture outdoors with your significant other this weekend. I present to you David & Kelsey’s woodsy bicycle engagement. Ah they are so much in love! ♥





Adorable huh?! David and Kelsey are even a cuter couple in person. They both brought their bikes and good spirit which created photos that are definitely “them”. They both are avid bicyclists. They love biking around and definitely enjoy biking to class. David is actually planning a bike tour to Oregon. Yes, biking FROM Oklahoma TO Oregon. So as you can imagine, the shoot wouldn’t have been complete without their bikes. :)





David and Kelsey first met because they attended the same church and right now they live in rent houses that are across the street from each other. ♥ Sweet! ♥ They are also coincidentally both studying to be environmental engineers. We took their bikes out to this woods by a lake because there is a special story behind this spot. Besides biking, David and Kelsey love the outdoors. One day, David convinced Kelsey to go out hiking in these woods because he needed to “test out his new camping stove.” Kelsey was a little suspicious but didn’t question since it seemed logical enough plus she likes hiking through woods. While meandering under the canopy of trees, finding paths and enjoying the cool weather, two stray dogs randomly decided to join them for the day. Kelsey said the day was amazing, and with their new friends Bear and Scout it could only be described as surreal.





As the day wound down they found themselves sitting by the lake, admiring the sunset, petting the dogs, and talking about erosion {They ARE engineers remember? LOL}. What happened next, Kelsey never expected. David suddenly knelt on one knee and asked Kelsey to marry him. He spoke from his heart telling her why he chose here over any other girl. I got butterflies in my stomach from just hearing their story. And of course, she said Yes!





I don’t know if any day can compare to their proposal back in January, but it sure was enjoyable spending the afternoon capturing their love for each other. Head on over to the slideshow on their Event Page to find more wonderful and touching photos of these two. On another note, I hope you enjoy your weekend and come back Monday. We’ll post a sneak peak of an e-session we’re doing tomorrow {think soda pop and an old round barn ♥}. See you next week!

Brad & Amber ~ A Fun Orchard Engagement

Happy Friday Friends! Two weekends ago we met up with a cute couple for a sweet engagement shoot which started out at an old train station in town. We caught a weekend experiencing a burst of warm sunny weather. We had clear blue skies and in Oklahoma that makes for a very sunshiney engagement! But this bright sunny day never could outshine the sweet love these two have for each other. Meet Brad and Amber. ♥






We played around at the station and railroad tracks. I really enjoyed watching the way that they interact. They’re so fun and capturing their woodsy wedding in August is definitely going to be a treat! Before losing too much light we headed out to the orchard. I love how all the trees are in perfect rows. We wanted more relaxed photos for the second part of the shoot, so we rented a vintage couch, crates, books, and trinkets from Our Vintage Love. Thanks Allison for coming to the rescue! If you’re looking for cool props for your wedding make sure to give Allison a ring!




The night that Brad chose to propose was a total surprise to Amber and actually serendipitous for all four of us {Yes, Scott and I, and I’ll explain in a minute}. So, Brad and Amber have known each other for about 10 years but they’ve only actually been dating for the past five. Brad, being a classic gentleman, took Amber out to a nice restaurant in town. As they were talking in the parking lot, Brad suddenly knelt on one knee and asked Amber to marry him. Totally out of the blue. ♥ Amber was so blown away by this that she started hitting him with her purse! Oh my! She said yes of course! Brad knew that Amber wanted colour in her ring so he found her a ring with a blue diamond from Leonard’s Jewelry in town. It’s an actual blue diamond and it’s absolutely stunning! Even the bees can’t resist it’s beauty!



Now the serendipitous part…the funny thing is that Scott and I were actually at the restaurant the very same night that Brad proposed. We were taking some promotional food photos for the restaurant and we did not know them at the time. It wasn’t until we met them to talk about wedding photography that they recognized us from the restaurant. The crazy couple taking pictures of all the food, LOL. I know it’s silly but Scott and I feel like not only are Brad and Amber meant to be together but we’re meant to capture their story. ♥



One thing Brad and Amber have in common is that they like to collect records. Just like Scott too who’s a big fan of collecting 45s. The other cool thing is that Amber actually knows sign language! Isn’t that cool? I’ve always wanted to learn. The university actually contracts Amber to interpret classes for deaf students. So, I thought it would be fun if she signed a secret message to Brad {who doesn’t know sign language}. This is what she signed…

“You and Me together forever.”

They are too cute! I love these two to bunches. And I want all of Amber’s outfits! To keep the game going Brad wrote down his own secret message and then showed it to Amber. ♥






Oh, and that dog just appeared out of nowhere and I think she just liked to be petted & photographed with them and then left in a jiffy. Gosh, I had a really really hard time narrowing down the photos to post on this blog! There are so many sweet and fun photos! So you better hop over to their Event Page and check out the slideshow for the ones you missed. Believe me, it’s worth it! Have an awesome weekend!

Sneak Peek: Engagement ~ Brad & Amber

Happy Monday friends! This weekend was very bright and sunshiney…great weather for a fun and happy spring engagement session. :) I surely love this couple’s outfits and the energy that they brought to the shoot! Meet Brad and Amber. ♥

We snapped some photos at the railroad track around the old train station in town. Then we headed off to a blissful orchard to take more relaxed photos. Well, maybe not all relaxed, lol. I can’t help but giggle every time I look at Amber joyfully spring into the air!

And this awesome vintage couch and props wouldn’t have been possible without the help of Allison from Our Vintage Love. If you’re looking for vintage goodies for your wedding, Our Vintage Love definitely has some must-have items! We ended the day just having fun looking through Brad and Amber’s record collection. Oh and I love this last shot, they’re so sweet! ♥ Have a great week everyone! We have so many more fun photos to share! So check back in two weeks to see their full e-session.
