Nikki and Drew

Yesterday, Ashley and I photographed engagement photos for Nikki and Drew.  These two are getting married next year at the Simon Estes Amphitheater.  We shot their photos downtown in the Court Ave district.  Nikki and Drew have an awesome little dog named Remy that broke out his best Fabio moves during his portion of the photo shoot.  Remy is a street tough little Mini-Dachshund strolling the mean sidewalks of Des Moines...ok, maybe that was a bit over the top.  Remy rocks.  Enough said.  Nikki and Drew were great to work with and Nikki, the self-proclaimed, best self shooter even got the chance to self shoot one shot of herself and Drew.  See the first photo below for the results.  Best self shot photo ever.  The shoot was all sorts of good all over downtown.  The shoot featured many things...a dog, the homeless, old underwear, a stopped train blocking us from getting to our shoot destination, mac and cheese for dinner and much, much more.  It was an awesome time.  And one last note, like to give a special shout out to the cousin in the loft with the hangy thing.  Below are a few of our favorite shots...
