Steve + Laurie | Columbia, Missouri Engagement Session

Happy Thursday, friends! We are so excited to share Laurie and Steve’s engagement session with you. Their engagement session was one we had been looking forward to since we met Laurie this winter over coffee. We knew immediately by the way she spoke about her fiancé Steve that they were the perfect couple for us.

We had been updating our weather app all week prior to their session, just hoping that the weathermen had gotten it all wrong. We were dreading the rain and storms that were in the forecast. Every time we checked the weather during the week, the chance for precipitation was very high. Things weren’t looking good, and we were afraid we would have no choice but to reschedule their session.   Turns out the weather man was wrong! It was pouring down raining just hours before the session, and then it stopped when we needed it to. We were so lucky that the weather held out for us.  We ended up making it through the entire session without a drop of rain!

Laurie and Steve are so fun to be around, so it was no surprise that Laurie wanted to stop at a beautiful vibrant mural in downtown Columbia. We stopped at various buildings and alleyways downtown. Next we traveled to a new location we are so happy we stumbled upon! Bear Creek Trail has a wooden bridge that connects in with the trail. The long bridge overlooks a creek area that is encompassed by many gorgeous trees. We are so happy to have found this gem of a location. For our final stop of the evening, we headed to Capen Park. Laurie and Steve were such troopers as we trekked up the slippery cliff. It was definitely worth hike, because we were surrounded by breathtaking views. At the top of the cliff we were able to capture some of our favorite portraits.

Each frame we captured had us more excited for their wedding day this fall in St. Louis. These two are just the sweetest. Their joy and laughter was contagious and we loved that they just let loose and had fun with the session. We just adore down-to-earth couples with big hearts. This is Laurie and Steve to a T!

Enjoy some of our favorites from our session with Laurie and Steve!
