MATT + SHELBY {{ENGAGEMENT // SOUTHWEST MISSOURI ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER}}

I got together with Matt and Shelby at their extremely beautiful wedding venue, Rockford Grange at Bear Hollow Ranch back in April for their engagement session. When we were done there, we went to get some shots with their extremely photogenic horses.

I had such a wonderful time with them and I cannot wait until their wedding day!! Here are some favorites from our session.

PAUL + STACIE {{ENGAGEMENT // SOUTHWEST MISSOURI ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER}}

Stacie contacted me about photographing her wedding and unfortunately, I wasn't available...but when she still wanted me to do her engagement photos, I was so happy!!

Paul and Stacie are truly lovely and endearing couple. I could tell as soon as we started shooting that they have a great love for one another. I love watching couples interact together, especially when they think I'm not paying attention, because that's when they're really themselves. And I'm pretty sure that these two have a great time with one another!

Here are some of my favorite images from Paul and Stacie's engagement session!

It's taken me a little while to share these, but it isn't because I'm not excited about them! I am sure you recognize this beautiful family. I have photographed them before several times and I have loved every single second of it. Megan and Tim are two of the sweetest people I've ever met. And they make adorable babies!

I have a lot that I want to say about them, but I want to save it for when I blog their wedding. So, right now I'll save the mush for then and just leave you with some gorgeous images right now. ;)

Here is another session from the mini sessions back in April.  I think these two are currently on their honeymoon!! They just got married a few days ago!! You should leave them a comment and tell them congratulations!!

Here are some of my favorites from their session. :)

Dan + Chelsea {{Engagement Session // Southwest Missouri Engagement Photographer}}

If you guys will remember back to the summer, Daniel and Chelsea won an engagement session with me.  We did them at the beautiful home of one of Daniel's friends.  (You can see those here)

They asked me to shoot their wedding in May (YAY!) and all weddings come with a complimentary engagement session.  So I got the pleasure of doing another engagement session with them. Which was a-okay with me, because they're extremely fun to be around!

It was a pretty chilly day, but they stuck it out with me and were troopers.  I brought them some hot chocolate, which stayed hotter than I thought it would and was actually too hot to drink, haha.  But it's the thought that counts, right?! If you'll notice Daniel's face in one of the pictures looks a little apprehensive....he was sure Chelsea was going to spill some on him and scald him.  It made for good pictures though, haha.

Some of my favorite pictures we took were at the ball field. I'd love to take credit for some of the more creative images we took there, but I have to say Daniel was behind most of them! I love when people have ideas! Some of his ideas were some of my favorite images.

Without further ado.....Daniel and Chelsea!

(We cannot wait until your big day!)

Oh, I also want to say thank you to Joplin Avenue Coffee Company for letting us use your coffee shop for a few minutes! :)

Matt + Chelsea {{Engagement Session // Southwest Missouri Engagement Photography}}

Guys! I'm so behind on blogs, but I'm trying to catch up the best I can!

I did Chelsea's senior pictures a few years ago.  She is SUCH a fun person!! I was so thrilled when she contacted me to do her engagement and wedding pictures! I knew that with Chelsea and Matt's personalities, we'd get some really great images for them.

I had such a GREAT time with these two.  I think I laughed during the entire session.  I am so excited for their wedding, because I know that it'll be a super great time!
