Ashley and I gave away three free engagement sessions this year. We picked winners randomly and based on engagement story. We had a lot of entries and 3 were selected. By chance, we were already invited to photograph Melissa and Andre's wedding and they won one of the three shoots.
July in Iowa can be hot, humid, and stormy at times. On Friday it was a little of all three. We headed to downtown Des Moines with Melissa and Andre. The area around the river and the area near the old train depot are always hot spots for Des Moines photographers. The alleys, buildings, and general backdrop give many picture opportunities. We sometimes do similar photos at each shoot, but at the same time ALWAYS have something new come from each shoot. This one was no different. We started out on the pedestrian bridge near Principal Park. It was a little rainy, more misty than anything, but quickly stopped and allowed us to get the shoot in. We ventured down some new alley ways and around some new spots. Melissa and Andre were great to work with. I don't think that Andre liked that I brought a camera along, but he was more than a good sport about getting all the photos we wanted. They were great about going down alley's and the other spots that we choose for the shoot even though they had to put up with me saying we were done and then running off another 100 photos at various locations from various angles. Either way, these guys were awesome and we are really looking forward to the October wedding! Below are a few of our favorites...
