This was the cooooldest engagement session I have done yet! Brrr! Brandon and Amanda are a super sweet couple, and I have the privilege of photographing their wedding next year. I love the winter-y look of their photos, and it sure was easy for them to get close to each other in front of the camera…they had to keep each other warm! We began our session at the Garden Barn near Indianola. It is one of my favorite spots in the area. When I set foot into this gorgeous old barn, I cannot help but long to spend hours inside! It is shop full of unique rustic-style garden and home decor with rich ambiance. I could spend a few thousand dollars there in a hurry! Next to the barn there is a large garden with all sorts of grasses, used to create neat decorative grass arrangements. If you haven’t been there, you should check it out, especially during this Christmas season!
I love this first one, as Brandon was whispering something sweet in Amanda’s ear!










This would be a great place for small weddings! So beautiful!












We wrapped up our session at Simpson College:
