Last August 20, Amanda and Mike were in town from South Carolina for their engagement session but their photographer unfortunately fell through. They looked us up on the 20th, we met and booked their wedding and scheduled their engagement session the next day before Ryan and Kami’s wedding in Stillwater. Today the weather is a little different but we’re going to try out some fun locations and I’m bringing my Jimmy Kleinsasser jersey!

The weather was so bad today we couldn’t get any outside shots even though Amanda had an elegant winter ensemble. Our plan B location was amazing and challenging, and a spot we normally wouldn’t have even tried had the weather not been so bad. Both Mike’s and Amanda’s families were amazing and hospitable – Mike’s dad’s “southern ways” toast was perhaps my favorite EVER. I took a little video and will post it with the slideshow which should be ready Wednesday.

Some favorite images below, and many more on facebook (link above). Hard to really describe these images that come out of my brain and the edit so I’ll let you just look. Some of my favorite moments were when Lee ripped on Amanda’s NHS friends for all the trouble they caused in 8th grade during her speech, Mike showing off his All Star’s, watching Mike shaking his head when “Chicken Fried” came over the playlist, almost capturing Jana’s shaving cut on her ankle, Amanda’s eyelashes, and making those amazing “end of the night” images. The Vikings shot would have been way better has the game turned out differently, but the Vikes have rice and Brinkley – Carolina alums. Have a great trip back to South Carolina Mike and Amanda!
