Kelly & Michael are engaged!

Filed under: previews — studioxplore @ 2:03 pm

Back in October, Kevin and I headed to St. Joseph to meet the fabulous Kelly & Michael for engagement photos. Though they are from Chicago, this couple chose to book the Blue Dress Barn  near St. Joe for their wedding & reception – I am SO excited to shoot there! Their vision was to find an orchard as well as a train station for their engagement photos, as well as enjoy some food. This is how our adventure played out…

 (Don’t forget to view the slideshow at the end…)

Kelly & Michael brought their cute dog Wrigley (great name!). He is such a good dog!

There wasn’t much left on the trees that late in the season, but Kelly worked it anyway!

We had an absolutely gorgeous day with beautiful sunshine.

This couple didn’t seem to mind when I kept telling them to kiss… :)

Aren’t they a lovely couple? I love how Michael looks at Kelly.

Kelly can certainly reciprocate Michael’s loving gaze.

This was the most fabulous sign ever! It was an ad for the Chocolate Gallery, painted on an old barn.

Of course, we had to take pictures in front of the chocolate gallery, and then go inside to sample the deliciousness. Oh, and was it ever yummy.

We couldn’t find a good railroad station and we were pretty far from St. Joe at this point, so we worked it on the railroad tracks instead. Michael’s job relates to the railroad, so this was a personal touch for them.

I love how they turned out!

Then we found a cute little bar and enjoyed some food & drinks!
