engagement | Shashi and Crystal | Minneapolis, MN

first things first… whooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaa!

i am up late.  it’s quickly approaching 3:00 am.  it’s all good, i’m a night owl for sure.  so why am i posting this e-session right now?  well because the couple was so freaking awesome – that’s why!  i want to introduce you to shashi and crystal.  i met them a few weeks ago and was immediately excited for the possibilities.  both shashi and crystal are uber-nice and outgoing.  upon meeting today i asked them to trust me and to work with me; doing that, we would get some great images.  we did.  both shashi and crystal were game to try out my ideas even if they were a bit eccentric at times.  but i blabber, on to the day.

we met over at the guthrie in downtown minneapolis.  it was hot…  no, hot isn’t the right word… it was oppressive!  it all worked out for the best though cause they both persevered.  that and we stuck to the shaded areas as much as we could.  we started off in the old rail station of the mill city museum.  at one point i frantically told them to start kissing passionately as a tour group on segways rode by.  my idea didn’t work but it got a few appreciative glances.  from there we strode on down to the actual mill ruins.  along the way we stopped at various places and took some photos.  many of which involved me stopping traffic so i could get just the right angle, much to the dismay of the drivers. : -p  down in the ruins we had a blast strolling around and looking for cute places to pose.  we got my favorite image of the day on the short climb up the hill from the ruins.  i asked them to stop and kiss while the sun was at their backs… it was perfect.  got a tad bit of flare, a beautiful pose, and true love everything you need for a perfect photo (easy right?)  from there we took a quick stroll along the stone arch bridge and wrapped it up for the day.  it was a good thing cause it was still pretty hot and muggy… oh… and i only had 1 minute left on the meter i had left my car at!

it was a great afternoon and was well spent.  we got a ton of fantastic photos that i hope you’ll enjoy.  just before posting the images here i like to run through them once and just look and make sure everything is just right.  it was and i got really happy going through them cause you can tell what great, fun, and loving people both shashi and crystal are.  i’m really looking forward to photographing their wedding cause looking at how their loved burst forth from these photos… it’ll be uncontainable come september.

i’m done talking though, take a look and have a great day guys and gals,

evan

ps i would suggest listening to guster while browsing through the images! : – )
