sara + joey engagement

This past weekend Adam and I finally got to shoot our really good friends Joey & Sara's engagement pictures. Their session has been pushed back because of rain more times than any other that I have dealt with, and on this particular Omaha day I was a bit worried once again because waking up Sunday morning to cloudy skies and puddles on the ground wasn't exactly a great sign.

But we held on and pushed it from morning to late afternoon and Omaha weather actually treated us well- bright sunny skies and aside from a few stray puddles, dry ground. Granted, it was about a bajillion degrees outside (yay humid Nebraska weather!) but it was better than the cold or rain, so we suffered through, and you'd never know the heat looking at these pictures- they seemed to never break a sweat!!





Anywho, they had some cute ideas for pictures and it was really nice to get to see them and hang out with them again. It's always a blast to shoot friends, and Adam and I are so excited for their September wedding (just a little over a month before us!) in OHIO! Yes, another destination wedding- how excited are we?!






Ok, so I went a bit overboard with these pictures. Usually I try to limit my teasers, I mean, if I didnt then where would the suspense for the rest of them be? But I was having a really good time going through these pictures today and so many of them just turned out SO WELL that I figured, what the heck. We started out in the park next to our old college and then headed up to UNO to get some classic campus pics in their super cute matching Mav shirts!







Then I convinced them to head downtown to the train tracks, and even though I dont think Joey was quite following my vibe there- I think he will now agree that they turned out quite amazing :)







Sara and Joey were actually one of our model couples way back when we started the business in college. They suffered through a "mock" engagement session back before they were even engaged to give us posing and location ideas. They were so great about it too- even though it was cold and snowy that day (looks like we like the extremes, eh?)! See how far along we've come, guys? I hope you enjoy these pictures tons more than those originals back in the day! :)







Hope you guys had a good time!!! :) Can't wait to hang out in a couple weeks!!
