Shelley and Nathan

On Saturday Steve and I photographed engagement photos for Shelley and Nathan. We will be photographing their wedding late this summer. This photo shoot started out at the Botanical Center downtown and ended with some shots near Ikonix Studio downtown. From the very beginning we knew we had some great shots. The Botanical Center is an interesting place to shoot. There are usually lots of people around, especially other photographers, and when sunny the lighting can be spotty. When this happens it can be a struggle to avoid hot spots. Saturday, however, the lighting was great with a mix of clouds outside. We then headed outside downtown for a few more shots. Steve and I hang out in all the cool places. Alleys, under bridges, and in and around run down buildings. Those locations make for some of the coolest photos. Below are a few of our favorites shots from the botanical center and downtown.
