Engagement: Kelsey and Danny in Lawrence, Kansas February 16, 2009

As promised, here’s the full post about Kelsey and Danny’s fantastic engagement session in Lawrence and on the KU campus. I knew Kelsey when we were high school-aged, but I hadn’t seen her for years until she called me after they got engaged! I had the pleasure of meeting Danny on Sunday for their session, and I just loved getting to see Kelsey and Danny interacting together. They are so completely natural in front of the camera, SO cute together, and just a really fun couple to photograph. If it’s possible, I’m even MORE excited about their wedding in August!

We started out their session in the spot where Danny proposed — in the exact booth! Choosing special locations make engagement photos that much more meaningful!

We then headed to the KU campus, to the Campanile landmark overlooking Potter’s Lake and the KU football stadium.

A tour of this little section of the campus gave us a variety of awesome backgrounds for the session! See what I mean about these two being absolute naturals in front of the camera? :)

I love how classic and tender this photo is:

I also love this classic headshot of the two of them. Their bright, light-colored eyes look awesome in black and white!

We took a variety of photos for them to use on their save the date cards. Photos can be such a great way to personalize a save the date announcement or wedding invitation. Two very different — and very fun — options are below.

Of course, we had to do a few family photos with their little man Brody! :) Brody is a Maltepoo and just the cutest. He gave Jeff and I lots of kisses. I think he’d be great friends with our Petey. :)

Okay, and one more of the cute little guy with his mom! :)

Alright, enough waiting for the football stadium photos! :) In case you missed yesterday’s post, click here to see it. As we were walking around near the football stadium, I mentioned how I’ve always wanted to shoot inside an empty stadium. Danny’s reply? “Oh, well let me make a call…” and 15 minutes later, there we were, on the 50 yard line with an entire football stadium all to ourselves. :) It was that easy! Do I have the coolest clients or what?!

So, my K-State loyalties aside, these photos are some of my favorite engagement images — so unique and personal!

Jeff shot with me yesterday, so we had two perspectives on a lot of the images! My view:

After the football field, we couldn’t go without a few shots outside Allen Fieldhouse. We wrapped up our session there. Oh my, you two are so cute!

Kelsey and Danny, thank you so much for making this session awesome, personal and so fun for Jeff and I. You made our job so easy! We can’t wait to capture your wedding day memories in August!

Sneak Peek: Kelsey and Danny’s KU Engagement Photos February 15, 2009

Jeff and I shot Kelsey and Danny’s engagement photos this afternoon, and I am SO excited about these images! I can’t wait to share the entire post with tons of photos from their entire shoot, but for now here’s a few from one portion of our session to get you by. :)

Details coming with the next post… I bet you’re wondering how we got access to the KU football stadium, huh? Oh, the suspense!

Kelsey and Danny, I promise I won’t keep you waiting very long for more! You guys are amazing!

Engagement: Kelli and Tim September 14, 2008

The cheering fans. The packed stands. The peppy cheerleaders and enthusiastic mascot. The time ticking away on the scoreboard. The band playing the fight song. The squeak of shoe soles on the freshly polished floor.

The spark of two die-hard KU fans in love.

Kelli and Tim met at a KU basketball game several years ago. Since then, their relationship has grown and their love has deepened in a way that can beat all odds…but who’s keeping score? :) 

I met these two sports fanatics this afternoon for their engagement session, and I could tell right away how much they had in common, besides their love of all things related to KU athletics.

I always love it when we can personalize an engagement session to showcase personalities and the history in a relationship. I’ve never had a sports-themed one before, so this was a lot of fun (setting my K-State loyalties aside, of course!).

We also took some time at the park to capture some non-KU themed photos, and they did such a great job! Check out how great they look together (and Kelli’s super cute pink shoes)!

Kelli and Tim, thanks for choosing ericamay photography to capture your engagement photos! Have a great time planning your wedding and starting this new chapter together.
