Corey and Melissa

I've known Melissa for most of my life... we went to school together (and I'm talking K-12), we carpooled for a while, our parents even went to high school together. I remember one time when our sports teams were traveling to Minnesota... Melissa's parents came along for the trip and let me hang around with them for a few days at the Mall of America so I didn't have to ride back to KC in that stinky yellow school bus! Melissa is such a great person, from her infectious laugh (that doubles when her twin sister Megan is around;) ) to the way her heart is so full of love... Corey, you sure are a lucky guy!

I had a great time on their engagement shoot, btw. After my busiest week of shooting ever, their laidback engagment shoot was the perfect way to end the weekend. I've shot at this location more times that I can count, and it was really fun discovering new locations with this adventurous couple. Here are some of my favs:





I love this shot! I found out after we had spent some time in this spot that Corey is allergic to all kinds of grass... what a trooper! No worries, though, he was wearing jeans so everything was a-ok.









I love me some sun flares :). Kinda reminds me of that last scene in Pride and Prejudice.



Congrats Corey and Melissa!
God bless you as you become one. I pray that you see Him more clearly because of each other.
