amanda + justin {engaged}

Amanda and Justin have known each other/been dating for many, many years, so, although they just got engaged this last spring, they were well-prepared (anxious;) to get married right away this coming fall. Even though their wedding is just over a month  from now, they still wanted engagement photos, and I fully agreed to the idea. After all, what better time is there to take a bunch of fun/romantic/quirky [non-stressed out] photos together showing who you are as a couple? The wedding day is wonderful of course, but engagement photos show you in such a relaxed manner… so, getting to our shoot this last Tuesday… I had so much fun with this couple! We met at Bayliss Park in Council Bluffs, and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised that there was such a beautiful location over there! Not only that, there were fun, old buildings for backdrops and a park that had a view of downtown Omaha. I think the best part of the day was when they decided to kick off their shoes and hop into the water fountain to cool off! Oh, and another highlight was asking some boys if they could scooch over a little for a sec so I could get a pulled back shot of this fabulous arch, and well, they decided to step in and smile for the photo. 😉 It was cute.

I am very excited for their wedding coming up this fall! Enjoy a sneak peek from their engagement session.
