Beth + Ben

Once we got into Ohio, we took the country roads out to meet Beth and Ben in Mount Vernon. It was a beautiful drive through hilly Amish country, even though we saw more Honda Gold-wings than buggies. Growing up in Northern Indiana gave me my fair share of buggies, though, and Gold-Wings drive along at a swift clip of 50, not...5.

We love it when couples share with us some important or meaningful places to them. Case in point: Beth and Ben first "met" in a photography class, and went downtown Mt. Vernon to take pictures for an assignment. They found the "red door" on that trip. The tree pictures are from one of their favorite parks, and the big field is right by where they go stargazing on occasion. It might sound cheesy, but Leandra and I eat that up. The locations have more meaning than "pretty"; they've got a story behind them! Anyways, enjoy:

Mine. We've been blessed with well-shooed (I think the proper term is "well-shod" but that sounds like I'm talking about horses, and that's about the last thing I want to get across!) ladies in our engagement sessions. Beth's purple shoes were very...purple-icious and, being the designer that she is, just happened to be the complimentary color to her yellow shirt!






Leandra and I were shooting through the back side of a fire escape.

The next two are my favorites.








Leandra's fav:


Pretty much knew this one would be glowy and wonderful when Leandra showed me the back of her camera...







Thanks, Beth and Ben! Can't wait for the wedding! I'm glad we agree on the Weepies ;)
