I’ve loved keeping tabs on her over the past few years and was elated for her when I saw on Facebook she was engaged to wed her sweet fiance, Brandon. The two met in college at Ball State (a story I’m fond of since it reminds me so much of finding my own love story there), so the university’s campus was the perfect place for an engagement session with these two. Jennifer and Brandon, if your wedding day in September is a tenth as relaxed and fun as this afternoon was, we’re all in for a treat!

Jennifer, you are the epitome of gorgeous here! LOVE this image of the two of them in front of Ball State’s Museum of Art

From the Quad, we headed over to the heart of campus where we hit up another ginkgo tree, this time in front of the Art and Journalism Building. Jennifer’s outfit was the perfect complement to those newly fallen yellow leaves!

It was chilly and as I was changing lens, I looked up with just enough time to capture this sweet little moment between these two A brief detour to get warm inside the Letterman Building. Love all the white space in this shot!Oooohhhh perfect fall light, how I love thee! Emmmbrracceee the grain (get it? ‘Cause, Brandon’s embracing Jennifer? hehe) That light, those trees, this kind of snuggling? It’s all perfect. This is such a candid shot — captured as we were walking back to the parking lot—but it’s my favorite because of how happy Jennifer looks here. That smile of hers is pretty awesome, isn’t it Brandon? A quick wardrobe change and a request from Jennifer and that was to capture a few images of she and Brandon in front of the residence hall where they met. Coincidentally, Nick and I also lived in this same residence hall (though, we didn’t meet there). Jen was a Botsford girl too (Brandon a Swinford resident). Even cooler? Jennifer’s parents ALSO met living in this same dorm! AND her grandparents also met at Ball State. It’s awesome that she can carry on the family tradition in that same kind of way.

Jen and Josh decided to have a First Look before their wedding and it was the PERFECT opportunity for them to get those pre-wedding jitters out of the way and have an intimate moment together before the whirlwind of their wedding day got underway. Jen’s mom got emotional in the moment too. How sweet! How gorgeous does Jen look here?LOVE this behind-the-scenes shot that Courtney captured of Jen and her dad anxious for the ceremony to begin. After the ceremony, I joined the wedding party for a ride on an awesome party bus and we headed to Monument Circle in Indianapolis for some more shots with the wedding party. They knew how to make a big group look gooooddd! I love love love this shot
