I had an absolute blast with Emily and Vivian tonight while taking their engagement photos at Coxhall Gardens. I always love getting up to Carmel for sessions. It’s one of the cutest little cities in Indiana with such a wide variety of different locations and backdrops for engagement sessions and weddings. So essentially, it’s a wedding photographer’s dream.

Emily and Vivian were such stunning subjects to have in front of my camera tonight. Coxhall gardens was pretty crowded, as it usually is since it’s such a popular park for activities and for photographers and photo sessions. While most of my usual favorite spots for photos were in use by other people, I didn’t mind, because it gave me an excuse to find some new beautiful locations and try out some different backdrops that I don’t usually use. It’s always fun when you’re forced to be a little extra creative.

I’m already getting so excited from Emily and Vivian’s wedding day in October. They’re getting married at Abram Farm in a newly build bright red barn. This venue is right across the street from a state park in Bloomington, Indiana. Can you imagine how beautiful their wedding photos are going to be with all of those fall colors in the middle of October?! It’s going to be such an amazing day!

Emily and Vivian, I loved working with you two tonight! Enjoy these sneak peaks from your engagement photo session while I finish editing your full gallery. I can’t wait to see you two again at your wedding in just a few short months!
