So, the conversation went something like this:
Danae (in an email): Kelly, can you bring a backdrop to our wedding so we can take pictures in front of it? (btw, their wedding is on December 31st)
Me (in my mind): ummmmm....you're not going to like those pictures...I'm not going to want to take those pictures...it's your wedding day....you're not going to be fun and free-spirited and laughing in front of a backdrop....backdrops are so Olan Mills...not YOUR wedding day.
Me (in an email): Danae, is there anything AT ALL that I can do to talk you into going outside for 10 minutes on the day of your wedding? I know you think you'll get cold, but I got married in December and took pictures outside, and trust me, you have so much energy that you day, you won't feel a thing! If I beg and plead, can I please talk you into ten minutes outside?
Danae (at their engagement shoot): Kelly, about your email, we'll stay outside all day if we have to for the pictures. We're up for anything.
Me (in my mind): You're my kind of people!
Recently, I met up with Danae and Tyler...who have been together FOREVER...like since high school!....and had the greatest time shooting their engagement pictures at Allerton Park. The weather was beautiful, the fall colors were beautiful, and the husband and wife-to-be were beautiful!
Danae and Tyler, can't wait to ring in the new year with the both of you celebrating your new life together as husband and wife.
A few of my favorites are below....

Beautiful lighting.....
....beautiful laughter.
We got the formal in-the-newspaper-the image-grandma-will-order picture!
As promised, they were up for anything...like, see this overgrown forested area over here? Do you mind laying down in it in your nice newly dry-cleaned clothes? And, they were SO willing! And, I love the results!
Danae and Tyler brought several outfits and we debated on what she called "khaki pants and a white t-shirt." I originally said 'no'....it'd be a little too family-ish. However, Danae failed to mention that their version of khakis and white t's belonged on a Banana Republic advertisement. By the way, Tyler, you're pretty darn handsome in this photo!
And, one of my favorites from the day. For those of you who don't know it, I am in love with the Rotunda at Allerton Park; so, you may be seeing it here and there in several shoots over my next few postings!!
Danae and Tyler, congratulations, and many blessings during this exciting time in your lives!
Kelly
