These two are a special couple. Keri & Shawn are high school sweethearts who love being goofy together, having tons of fun, and being there for each other no matter what. We had fun with them, although their session was pretty chilly! We even had some snowflakes, which made for some pretty photos. Mill Creek Park nevers lets us down for engagement photos & we’re so glad we have it so close to home.
I loved their interactions together; it’s easy to see that they’re really fun & relaxed around each other- it’s one of those “We’ve known each other for practically forever” feelings that just makes you feel right at home with another person.
There was an outfit change (Keri said, “Thank goodness. . . my legs were numb in that dress!”) and then the snow came!
Snow mixed with a few scattered Fall colors & the few roses that are still clinging to life in the Rose Garden:
When we first met with Keri & Shawn many months ago to talk about their wedding day, Shawn had longer hair and a full beard so Josh & I were surprised to see his face 🙂 when we arrived for the engagement session.
They’re so sweet & I love the composition of this shot. Good job, Josh! 
We headed down to the Silver Bridge, which allowed us a little time in the car to warm up.
Shawn said he’s smitten.
Oh I have to share their proposal story! Keri was away at college & not feeling well, but she had planned a trip home for the weekend so she decided to come home despite the icky feeling. Shawn was glad because he was planning to propose to her. They were driving around & Shawn pulled over to the side of the road and asked Keri to get out. She was sort of confused, but got out anyway. Shawn asked her to marry him in the middle of a field on the side of the road. . . she definitely wasn’t expecting that & it was surely the highlight of her “sick at home” weekend. 🙂 Now they’ll vow to love each other “for better, for worse, in sickness, & in health” next year. How perfect.
At the end of the session, I told them to just let their goofy selves shine through. They were a little chilly at that point & Shawn was really hungry for IHOP & this is what came out. 🙂
We had a fun engagement session with you, Keri & Shawn! Your wedding day will be here before you know it!
