Allison and Steve engagement session {Mncie, Indiana engagement portrait photographs}
Posted: June 18, 2010

I remember the day I met Allison and her mother.  I feel like it was just a few weeks ago...even though there was snow on the ground. :)  They came out to my office to discuss the possibility of Kishel Photography shooting Allison’s wedding.  After a few minutes of talking to Allison I could tell every detail of this wedding was extremely important to her.  She has been dreaming of the fairy tale princess wedding and everything that goes with it.  I don’t know how to describe Allison exactly, in the few moments I was with her I could tell she’s a soft soul, she’s loyal, she’s devoted, she’s passionate and she’s committed.  After emotionally discussing her ideas, expectations and wedding dreams I stepped out of the room for her and her mother to discuss things.  To this day, remember the words and the inflection in her voice when she said to me after I walked back into the room…”I would love to have you photograph my wedding.”  Those words were so flattering to me~ I realized this wedding was the most important thing to her and the idea of being welcomed into such a special day was more emotional for me than I was expecting (yes, I was blinking really really fast to hide back a little tear).  So, fast forward a few months and now we’re getting ready to shoot their engagement session.  Steve is meeting us at the Fickle Peach, downtown Muncie.  It’s threatening rain~ which stinks since the biggest prop we’re using is his Harley motorcycle!  He’s not sure if he’ll be riding it, obviously worried that he’ll get stuck in the pouring rain.  As we sit waiting outside the Fickle Peach the thunder is rumbling in the distance, sprinkles are hitting us just barely and we’re seriously talking about rescheduling the shoot.  Just then, Steve pulls up, Harley (and the thunder) is rumbling so we stand up to make our final decision.  Another important place we were going is the Reservoir, which is where Steve proposed (it is already raining there).  Allison decides we’re all here, let’s just start and see what happens.  Actually it turned out really fun, we shot on the Harley, against an alley, near a couple cool old buildings downtown Muncie then headed out the take some pictures at the Reservoir.  We got out there just as the sun was setting.  The water was calm, there were clouds in the sky giving us a soft pretty glow across the water.  After a couple pictures out at the resevoir we called it a day and Allison and Steve road off on his bike.  I hope you two love your engagement images!!!  ’m  very excited for this wedding day to get here.  I know it’s going to be a gorgeous, romantic day!
