Fall Broad Ripple Engagement Session

I’ve been looking forward to James and Laken’s fall engagement session in Broad Ripple for what feels like SO LONG! I first met Laken when she was a bridesmaid in Alex and Amanda’s Puerto Vallarta destination wedding. Laken ended up getting engaged to James not too long after that, and I was so honored when she asked me right away to photograph her wedding. Since Laken and James LOVE the fall season, they’re having an October wedding next year. They’re actually getting married on Halloween. It’s super cool that Halloween is on a Saturday next year. They even thought of the cutest wedding hashtag: #AllensSayIBoo. How sweet is that?!

I love that Laken and James decided to taken their engagement session almost exactly one year before their wedding. We’re technically just under a year away now, and I already can’t wait! Their wedding day is going to be so beautiful. For their engagement session, they decided on the Broad Ripple area. We started at the Broad Ripple Arts Center, which I always LOVE getting to take photos at. It’s also close to a Monon entrance where we were able to take some beautiful photos on the trail in between all the bikers passing. Then we headed to downtown Broad Ripple to take photos on the love lock bridge, which always reminds me of Paris. I should have thought to bring a love lock for these two to put on the bridge! After we were done with photos on the bridge, we took a special request photo for James. He wanted photos of them drinking out of beer glasses with their union logos on it, which was such a unique idea that I loved! And we ended the evening on the HopCat rooftop. After typing all of this out, I can’t belive we were able to accomplish so much during out session tonight!

James and Laken, I LOVED getting to photograph you two tonight! I can’t wait to send you your full engagement session gallery. In the mean time, enjoy these sneak peaks. I’m already looking forward to your wedding next year!!
