I’m always up for interesting locations. I love out of the ordinary and especially places that are personal to my clients. For their engagement shoot, Emily and Adam invited me out to their farm and it was just a gold mine of great backdrops.
Emily and Adam are such an easy going couple that it made my job easy! They’re getting married in December and they’re hoping for snow. Well, not a blizzard, but enough snow to make it pretty and white.
When I first drove up to their farm I spotted this really old house and I knew I wanted to use it somehow. I don’t think they expected to start the shoot in a dirty, dusty, cluttered upstairs of the old building, but there was great light, interesting textures, and it was a good place to start while the rain moved off.
The downstairs of that same building had some great light too. Emily and Adam were awesome – they didn’t at all mind climbing back into the dust and rubble!
They have a creek that runs through their property too. Good thing I wore my sandals!
The rain had moved off, but there were some great clouds still rolling through.
Adam and Emily were able to relax together so easily. You’d never know they were sitting in soaking wet grass!
I kept coming back to this image for some reason. It’s actually one of my test shots, but there’s something I love about their expressions. It just feels so genuine and honest. Love it.
One of their cats was tagging along with us while we walked along the corn. You can’t see it in the photo, but it’s actually running around in the corn behind Emily and Adam.
