Levi and Brooke

This past Saturday I shot a RARE, as in first time ever, wedding day engagement shoot for Levi and Brooke. Levi as you may remember worked with us on several wedding this year while Ashley was out on baby leave. Be sure to check out Levi's facebook page, Yamen Photo. Levi and Brooke will be married next October in Des Moines. I can't even start to explain how much fun I had on this shoot, but I will certainly try.


We started out in Valley Junction. It was a cool morning, but not too bad when you got into the sun. We shot all around Valley Junction until we came across a chair. Just a plain wooden chair that was sitting in an alley...so naturally I thought we'd make some use of it. We grabbed the chair and headed for a white wall that I'd been searching for some way to use. Some of the photos with the random chair turned out the best. And the chair would have been a good defense against the guy arguing with himself, had it come to that.


Levi and Brooke had some great ideas of their own that really gave their engagement photos a personal touch. We headed to a field out by the airport....one random field that we could get into...luckily the gate was left open. A little trespassing never hurt anyone. We used 25 balloons in many of the photos. They were fun, unique, and creative. Check out a few of our favorites below.
