Back in 2021, I photographed a wedding where I met Katrina in the wedding party. She loved how her cousin’s photographs turned out so much, that she quickly reached out once her and Alex got engaged! I’m always so excited when I get to work with sweet couples from past weddings! They’re planning they’re special day in May at Bellevue Hall and I can’t wait to be back! We had their Historic Smithville Mansion engagement photos in the spring and they are to die for.
These two met the old fashioned way, on Tinder! Their first date was at Yards Brewing for a few beers, then they headed over to Revolutions for bowling! Now over 5 years later,t hey’ve built a life together and enjoy traveling, Eagles games, and cooking dinner together.
I couldn’t wait for their engagement session! The weather was pretty cloudy that day, but the blooms were jawdropping! Alex and Katrina love Historic Smithville Mansion and Park because it’s one of their favorite places to walk the trails, especially with their sweet pup.
I brought along some 35mm film to use at their session! Katrina is a fellow film lover, so I couldn’t think of a better reason to use it! I’m in love with Kodak Portra stock, and it made the dreamiest photos for them. I love everything about their session and am SO excited for their wedding day. Enjoy some favorites from their engagement session!
