I had so much fun walking around Headwaters Park in downtown Fort Wayne with Ryan and Lindsay for their engagement photos!

I had the privilege of meeting Lindsay a few years ago when she visited the young adult group I help lead at my church. Life changes caused her not to join our group permanently but we hit it off really well! Soon after, her sister ended up joining our group and we’ve been good friends since! When Lindsay got engaged, her sister recommended me for photography and it was a match made in Heaven 😉 These love birds are tying the knot at Chapel Road Retreat in May, and I couldn’t be more excited!

We scheduled their engagement photos, and after a few changes due to weather, we were were blessed with the perfect fall day! Lindsay desperately wanted fall colors, and Headwaters Park delivered above and beyond in late October!

Lindsay expressed her concerns right away about being awkward in front of the camera and I ensured her (as I do with everyone) that I always give posing instructions! Soon after we started, her nervousness quickly started melting away. Ryan is a little more familiar with getting photos taken so he and I both encouraged her throughout our time together and you wouldn’t even believe she was ever nervous! Goodness… these two can’t take a bad picture!

Lindsay is a teacher and she chose to take a half day off school to get her hair and makeup professionally done (insert praise hands)! I’m not usually one to applaud skipping school for reasons other than being sick or on vacation, but I definitely do in this scenario. It seriously makes a HUGE difference in your photos and I highly recommend it to anyone getting their photos taken!

That being said, please do yourself and check out their photos below and give them some love! Shoot me a message to schedule your own photos!
