Dead sexy. I can't help but think that when I look at these two together! They are just too beautiful for their own good!

Alison has these killer blue eyes that are practically glow-in-the-dark they're so bright! Just amazing to photograph.

(these were made using a tilt-shift lens because I loathe photoshop)

Matt has one of those contagious smiles that makes everyone else smile too.

When I asked them where they wanted to go for their engagement photos, Alison & Matt chose the downtown canal in Indianapolis by the Indiana State Museum. Even though I've been to the canal what seems like tons of times for engagement sessions, it always surprises me when everyone chooses a different favorite place along the canal!

Of course, what would a walk along the canal be without some skyline shots?

Of course, the canal is also a popular place for runners… so, just for fun…

One of the things I like to do with engagement photos is play with color, angles, expressions, moments, etc to help me figure out what my couples like and don't like. Do they have a preference for warm or cool colors? Muted or bright? Silly or serious? Abstract or real? Fashion or emotion? All of these are little clues and insights about how I can further personalize their wedding photos, so, for me… the engagement session is just a place to play with a bunch of ideas without the pressure of capturing critical moments and memories.

I love the movement in Alison's hair here and how it so perfectly frames her face…

Two years ago, Matt's sister celebrated her wedding at the Historical Center- last year, Matt celebrated at the State Museum just down the street!

Not exactly a steam vent… but a steaming clock that sounds like a train whistle when it blows!

I felt like chocolate was the only appropriate color for this very yummy photo…. mmm… tasty chocolate….

Thank you Alison & Matt - you were fabulous!!!
