Joel & Karen, engaged | La Crosse, WI engagement and wedding photographer

Last week, I photographed Joel and Karen. They are having a super small ceremony during the week this August, and I am so honored to have been asked to photograph the event.

We started off downtown. Have I mentioned how much I love when couples get dressed up? Isn’t Karen’s red dress the best?

I think they are so cute together, and they laughed a whole lot. Makes my job so easy! 🙂

They deserve an award for being the nicest couple ever to do this for me, especially since shortly before this shot, I told them I won’t make them do embarrassing things right on a main street. But, well maybe just stand in the middle of 3rd and Pearl Streets and dip….that’s it.

A quick outfit change, and then some sunset pictures, but the sun went behind the clouds.



The sun kept dodging in and out of the clouds and the whole session I kept running to a spot to try to get a pretty back-lit picture, but then it would go away. Right when I asked them to sit down for this shot, the sun came out. Perfect!

Karen and Joel, it was so nice to finally meet you! Thank you for being so open to all of my crazy ideas.

Stay tuned for their wedding ceremony in August. I can’t wait!
