Amber & Chad - Engagement Shoot

The first time I met Chad was about 3 years ago when he contacted me to take pictures of him and his brother for their parents Christmas present. I was immediately impressed by what an awesome and mature guy he was for such a young age. He has accomplished quite a bit and one of his biggest accomplishments will be coming next August when he makes Amber his Bride :)

Kelly and I were so very lucky to have been there, waiting in the wings, when Chad popped the question. He once again realized the importance of photos and arranged for us to be there when he proposed (you can check out the proposal post in the Archives).

Chad and Amber traveled a LONG long way from Collinsville IL out to Chesterfield MO for this shoot. We LOVE them for that...but we feel like this locations and the more "secluded" spots we scoped out for them fit them to a T. We had so much fun, they are a super sweet couple who are incredibly easy to photograph. Win Win for us :)

Chad and Amber had a rough few months, they lost 2 very important people to them in tragic accidents. We could feel how coping with that kind of loss has brought them closer...you can feel their love in these images.
By the way, they shopped the night before....running through the Mall at lighting speed picking out what to wear. We think they rocked it!

Oh yeah! We have the coolest clients on the planet! We know how incredibly lucky we are.

Yep, Chad has the most bitchin' motorcycle (yep, I just used the word bitchin' circa 1992)!! Sooooo glad  he brought it along for the shoot. It was the perfect prop!

Chad and Amber,

You guys are seriously dream clients and we are so

thankful you chose us to document the "big celebration" in August of next year!

We still wish we could come with you and be there to see you say "I Do"

on a beautiful sunny beach :)

We will see you next August!

Lisa & Kelly
