Friends, today I want to share with you an unforgettable romantic engagement session I had this summer. Picture this: a warm summer evening, a stunning couple, and the sun setting over a picturesque Italian-inspired setting. It was straight out of a fairytale! As a photographer, I strive to capture moments that are timeless, classic, and evoke the emotions of the couple. This session was no exception!
Let me start by saying that the location could not have been more perfect. The couple chose a hidden gem, nestled just outside the heart of Kansas City, which was designed to resemble the romantic gardens found in the Italian countryside. This location had a blooming garden, beautiful fountains, brick walkways, stunning archways, budding flowers, bridges, and more. We timed the session perfectly, just as the golden hour was beginning. The soft, warm glow of the setting sun cast a magical light that bathed the couple in a beautiful, dreamy ambiance.
As a timeless and authentic photographer, I pride myself on capturing moments that are both modern and photojournalistic. Of course, at every engagement session, we're still going to get those classic "Christmas Card" smiling at the camera photos. But I believe that it's the candid, unposed shots that truly reflect a couple's love story. During this engagement session, I had the pleasure of capturing intimate moments where Price and Alli shared sweet glances, whispered secrets, and exchanged joyful laughter. These are the moments that truly showcase the love and connection between two people.
The couple brought a touch of their own style to the session, with Alli wearing a classic white sundress followed by a stunning flowy red dress that added an ethereal touch, while Price rocked a polo for his first look followed by a classic navy suit. They looked absolutely breathtaking together, accentuating the romantic atmosphere with their elegance and love for each other. I have a feeling this session is going to be saved and saved again across Pinterest Boards everywhere to inspire many engagement sessions to come!
To wrap up this romantic Italian-inspired engagement session all I need to say is this session was an absolute dream to photograph. The setting, the couple, and the emotions shared throughout the evening made it an unforgettable experience. As a photographer, it is moments like these that remind me why I am so passionate about capturing love stories. I am grateful to have been a part of this timeless, classic, and modern engagement session, creating photographs that will undoubtedly be treasured for a lifetime. I cannot wait to hang with and celebrate these two again as they become husband and wife this spring.
