Kourtney + Ben Engagement Pictures

I have always loved photography & everything that comes along with it. I take a million pictures of my kids (duh) but that’s about it. So I was super shocked/honored/excited/nervous when my sister’s best friend asked me to shoot her wedding! {Y’all, I am no professional, nor do I claim to be. BUT I hope to get to that point one day. I’ve got a lot to learn, but I’m having fun along the way.} So I told Kourtney that I would do their photos as my wedding gift to them, as long as she would help me get some more experience by spreading the word for me ;0). We did their engagement pictures a couple weekends ago & I’m pretty excited with how they turned out!

Again, I know I am no professional, but I’m kinda proud of these. Mainly because I had some awesome models to work with! ;0) And yes, there is a lot because of course I can’t choose just a couple favorites.

This is my all time favorite from the day! Love it & just how natural it is with Ben kissing her chin.

Aren’t they gorgeous?! They look like models in a magazine!

Ben works on the railroad so it was only fitting that we take some pictures on the train tracks!

This is another of my favorite shots. It shows their personalities so well.

But seriously…tell me they are not the CUTEST couple ever?!

Any tips from any of you pros out there are welcomed! I know the lighting was a little harsh in some, but you can’t change the time of day & position of the sun, so I worked with what we had.

Oh & thanks to Kourtney, I’ve already got 2 more sessions lined up! Yay!
