For a holiday week I’ve been shooting a ton! On Tuesday I met Karissa and Calvin for their engagement shoot in the snow. Karissa has fantastic style and braved the cold winter scene in formal attire!

I know it looks like Karissa is the hero of the shoot with her formal dress in the snow, but Calvin is the unsung hero…Karissa had knee high boots to protect her feet, but Calvin was tromping through 8 inches of snow in dress shoes! We decided his best bet on the drive home would be to go without his wet shoes. He also floated the idea of skipping his pants, too, since they were wet, but I declined to see if he followed through with that threat. :P

Nothing like a little hypothermia to create genuine laughter!

Snow engagement shoot

We wrapped up the shoot with some family pictures with their daughter. She was a few hours behind on sleep and not feeling up to a ton of photos, but I know we’ll catch lots of fun pictures with her on the wedding day!

Nikki and Chris are getting married on New Year’s Eve!  We were waiting for a snowy day for a last minute engagement shoot, but gave up and set a date last weekend.  And then we went and got a bunch of snow!  It worked out perfectly and we had a fantastic time in spite of the chilly wind!

This next sledding shot is probably my favorite from the shoot!

They were such good sports and I am so excited to shoot their wedding in just a couple of weeks!

Kassidi and Erik are one of the cutest couples you will ever meet.  They have known each other since childhood, but with as cute as they are together you’d think they’d just met!  We met up a few weeks ago for their engagement pictures about 10 minutes away from the studio in Black Forest.  We had a perfect autumn morning for their portraits!

I love this spot.  The fence, the trees, the autumn leaves–perfect spot for romantic engagement photos!

They have the cutest laughs!

Kassidi is going to make such a beautiful bride!
