Ashley + James Engagement

Last, but definitely not least, in our marathon weekend we had Ashley and James. These two had some really neat ideas for their pictures- while they wanted the typical nature-y shots, they also wanted some super urban ones- and some indoor shoots in an artsy, modern environment. Adam and I were super excited about this- 3 very different, very distinct locations-- love it!

We started out in the West Bottoms to get some of those grundgey, urban shots and while we were there we decided to go play around near inoperative trains- you know, those brightly colored ones with all the graffiti that you find in abandoned warehouse areas. This made for some incredible pictures! We really played up the bright colors against their white outfits and it was so much fun- and let me tell you, these two know how to dress and accessorize! Haha, not only Ashley, who I could tell was into fashion the day we met with her, but James too! He had on some super cool shoes that we just couldnt help snapping some pictures of. He admitted they were uncomfortable, but "sometimes necessary"-- how many guys do you know will dress in uncomfortable shoes for fashion's sake!? ;)

Afterwards we headed to the downtown area to hit some of the swanky hotel lobbys to get some fun indoor pics and they both pulled out yet another awesome outfit! Love it! Finally it was back to Longview Lake for some sunset pictures (and another great outfit- totally cute and fallish!) which turned out great. These two were so much fun! And super comfortable in front of the camera (even though they may not have thought so at the beginning!). We got alot of great pictures with these two and we are definitely looking forward to the wedding (I'm looking forward to her DRESS! Haha!) next summer. Again, I had a hard time narrowing down teaser pics- so my apologies if I went a bit overboard again!

We had a blast guys! I hope you enjoy the pics so far- many more great ones to come soon!
