One of the things that always amazes me every single time I shoot a couple is how different we all are. Love is a universal language, but we all show it so differently. When I’m trying to capture the love between a couple during their engagement session, the first thing I notice is how he touches her. Sometimes it’s with a fierce love, sometimes it’s very protective, and sometimes it’s something totally unique, but it’s always love. As soon as I met Melissa and Ricky I was struck by his gentleness. He touched her like she was the most fragile and wonderful thing he had ever laid his eyes on. I just couldn’t get enough of these two, and I can’t wait to shoot their wedding next October.
These love birds are self-described “city people that appreciate the open fields of a rural setting”, so we wanted to start in the big city but move to a more intimate rural setting to wrap up the session. There are still some beautiful trees uptown so we took advantage of these beautiful fall colors.

I can get a little obsessed with stairs sometimes during sessions so I had to stop myself from keeping them on these stairs all afternoon. It just felt so intimate and the lines were just unending!BEAUTIFUL ring! Love the bright, shiny, sparkles of a new engagement ring.
We moved out to one of my favorite rural settings just as the sun dropped behind the clouds. Awesome boots Melissa!LOVE it!I think I could shoot between weeds all day. Especially when I’ve got this much love to focus on. See what I mean by gentleness? Love it!Congrats Melissa & Ricky! Can’t wait to see you two again next October!
