When Kristy said the words ‘Christmas Tree Farm‘ my eyes lit up.  I mean it’s December and they will be getting married near an Apple Orchard next June so it seemed fitting.  But little did she know this has always been on my photo bucket list.  There’s something so cozy and romantic about rolling hills of Christmas trees.  Or just Christmas in general I suppose.  But what we didn’t know when we decided on this amazing plan was just how perfectly it would all play out.  The day before our session Indy got a GORGEOUS snowfall.  I’m talking big, slow-falling flakes that stuck to every little branch on every little tree.  It coated the whole city and transformed it into a literal winter wonderland.  THEN…on the day of our session we not only lucked out with the most gorgeous winter sunset but we literally had the whole Christmas Tree Farm to ourselves.  Apparently no one buys trees two weeks before Christmas.  Basically what I am saying is that magic happened and all the pieces came together so perfectly for a truly deserving couple.  Kristy and Nick are seriously the sweetest and I am more excited than ever for their wedding next June!

First off, these two are just the best.  Bre and Jono live in New York so our engagement session was the first time I officially got to meet them.  Even though I felt like we’ve known each other forever.  We took a break from eating way too much stuffing (no? just me?) and made some serious photo magic.  It had been a pretty gloomy weekend with rain the day before.  The gray clouds didn’t look like they were going anywhere but as soon as 4pm rolled around, the skies parted and Indy gave us quite a show.  There are few things in the world that make me happier than an amazing couple that I absolutely love and an Indianapolis sunset.  Seriously I was dying the whole time.  And not to mention these two were down for anything so we got to go a little out of the box which just made me love them even more.  But even more than the insane light that was happening around us…I was so excited that I get to document the epic love between these two.  And it would be an understatement to say I am beyond excited for their wedding.  Internet…meet Bre and Jono.  🙂
