Ashley+AJ: Promised | Outdoor Springfield Engagement Photography
Ashley and AJ were my first 2016 wedding engagement session! I was so excited to meet with them, and our schedules synced up last minute and it was time for an engagement session to follow their wedding theme! I was really thrilled to go back to a location I adore and shot a lot at last fall-but did NOT consider what we were going to be dealing with in terms of HEAT and BUGS…and it was INTENSE. But Ashley and AJ were PROS regardless- quickly swatting away swarms of bugs (literally), and then smiling and cuddling the next moment without hesitation! I was so impressed with their versatility and lack of real worry about all of the elements they were dealing with! And Ashley was walking around the soggy forest in TALL heels- that is my kind of girl! I loved my evening with them, getting to know them better. They are the type of couple that keeps cuddling even after I put down my camera, and had a million sweet moments in between spots that I got to catch quickly with my camera, even though they weren’t done for my camera- it is so fun to photograph a couple like that! Meet Ashley and her AJ!
One of my favorites, right in the beginning!
We took a break from the bugs and oppressive heat in a local park!
You guys are SO sweet (and lovely to look at!!)!
I LOVE this ring!
