Shane & Tatum's Engagement Shoot

Tonight I shot Shane and Tatum's engagment photos. They are getting married in September at Trilogy at Vistancia out in Peoria and we actually did there engagement shoot there as well. Usually I don't do that since we will be shooting there for the wedding, but it was a great opportunity to get out there and scope out the place before the wedding. Plus there are so many beautiful spots to shoot.

Shane and Tatum have an amazing story of how they met when they were in high school, dated for awhile and then went their separate way for years before connecting again. While they were disconnected, they actually both watched the movie, "The Notebook" --which I love--and thought of each other. I guess it was meant to be!

This was another fun shoot--Shane and Tatum are naturals with each other and in front of the camera. We got some great shots. Here are a few of my favorites:







I guess there's a bit of a theme with flowers. But there were so many beautiful ones and everywhere we would turn there was color.



These next three were all in the same spot but I couldn't narrow them down to the one I like best. Feel free to let me know which one you prefer:
