Comic Themed Engagement Session

Life is good for Joshua and Jessica. They’re keeping the streets of Northwest Indiana safe from super villains… you know, normal couple in love kind of stuff. Luckily on their day off from fighting crime I was able to go on a photo shoot to celebrate their engagement.

Our first stop was Chemshaw 13 Donutz & Comics in Crown Point, Indiana. It was here where our super-heroine Jessica placed her coveted ring upon issue #1 of Spiderman (Renew Your Vows) and exchanged knowing glances with Joshua and his shield.

While inside the shop the two crimefighters looked toward the sky as they heard a calling and off we went towards Lemon Lake County Park.

After ridding the Crown Point park of a number of pesty super villains, Jessica and Joshua continued their engagement session with me. Fall color was still around for our chilly November day. The golden sun certainly helped warm us up.

The sun was beginning to fall and soon these two crimefighters would be off into the night. The Fall leaves were an incredibly burnt orange at this time against the cool blue of the lake.

While the path ahead may have a few super villains to rid the world of, knowing that Jessica and Joshua are ready to suit up is certainly comforting.

Autumn Engagement Photos At Lemon Lake

Emily and Chris spent a late Friday afternoon with me at Lemon Lake County Park for their Fall engagement session. We battled with the wind for awhile (my light stand and Emily's hair) as we made our way from the deep woods onto the lake.

The Autumn leaves took on a hint of yellow as the soon to be married couple chilled next to the old wooden bridge.

I did my best impersonation of the paparazzi as I spied upon Emily and Chris as they smooched away on the various benches and hidden forest of the park.

I have a bit of a history with Amanda and Zach. See, I took Amanda's senior pictures a number of years ago. Then I started to see her as a guest at many of the weddings I was shooting. Soon I noticed she was slow dancing with the same guy at the receptions. Oh oh, I see a budding romance here!!

It was a thrill to photograph their Fall engagement session at Lemon Lake County Park with the Fall colors at their fullest. We started with the sun still high and peeking thru the trees and went until sunset.

I asked these two to have a seat on the many logs around the park and chat for awhile for some intimate candid photos. We also took a walk deep into the swampy section of the lake for a moody silhouette. Of course, a smiling portrait was in order too.

The Great Leaf Fight Championship of 2015 saw a truce occur between the soon to be married couple. Truth be told, I do think Zach landed a few more leaves than Amanda. Perhaps we can have a rematch at the wedding!!

The orange and yellow colored trees reflecting off of the lake was simply breathtaking. As the couple snuggled on the pier, I captured them with the reflections as our backdrop.

Our session ended with a final stroll along the lakefront and showing off the special Starbucks cup as the couple kissed in the background.

The first thing Stephanie and Brett did when they arrived at Lemon Lake County Park was show me their signs. Too funny. I take it they've been seeing each other for awhile!!

Lemon Lake County Park is the perfect location for Fall color and gives a general "woodsy and earthy" tone to photographs. Although I just recently met them, Stephanie and Brett seem to fit that bill as well - warm and down to earth. I had fun taking their engagement pictures and they seemed to have a few laughs too.

I could not let them leave without a shot in front of the sprawling lake with the Fall colors in the trees. It's become a standard whenever I come here to shoot, but it always has a slightly different look to it depending on the season and time of day. This day we had a bit of orange and red popping out amongst the green.

I hope you have enjoyed this sneak peek look at Stephanie and Brett's Autumn engagement session at Lemon Lake County Park. I'm looking forward to their wedding next October. In the meantime, I think I'm going to go grab me a slice of pumpkin pie
