If you haven't noticed by now, we LOVE themed engagement sessions. : ) We love giving couples a gallery of pictures to look back on that are not "just engagement pictures" but are fun, reflects their style, describes their personality, illustrates their hobbies, and creates real happy emotion. The entire process of collaborating with the couple to create a tailored photo shoot is a lot of fun! It's the best when couples get into the process and really want to create something unique! Kim & Kyle dreamed BIG! Their proposal story includes a trip to Arizona and a hot air balloon ride! How romantic!! In the beginning phases of creating a themed e-session they knew they wanted to incorporate traveling. So, naturally we began thinking up ideas for a "travel theme". We thought of places to go, props to use, cute outfits to wear, and then Kyle chimed in with "My dad has an airplane!!"....

We are so excited for their August nuptials here in Sioux Falls. : ) These two are truly sweet people who have found love and we couldn't be more happy for them. And, we can't forget about Ernie...we are excited that he's getting a dad!!

Let me start by introducing to you some of our favoritest (yep, that might be a made up word) people....Danielle & Paul! We've known Paul & Danielle for several years now and have shared a million laughs and good times! (KITTENS....INSPIRED BY...KITTENS!!!!) We are so blessed to have them in our lives! It's not every day that you meet such great people who not only radiate positivity and happiness but who you truly enjoy spending and sharing life with. So, when you find those people....you take them in, keep them close, and have drinks with them on Wednesday night at Bracco! : ) Onto the photo shoot..... This highly creative and adorable couple made creating their themed engagement session a piece-of-cake! Both Danielle and Paul (well, mostly Danielle) had great ideas and knew exactly what they wanted to incorporate into a themed e-session. Both having close family ties to the Miller & Highmore, South Dakota area, they naturally decided to have it back home. They wanted something uniquely "them" and sentimental. The bike, for example, belonged to great grandpa, they used grandma's farm as a location, collected antiques from around the home, etc.

Enjoy Part I {Vintage Camping}

Stay tuned for Part II of their session....{Vintage 50's Housewife}
