Nicole and Andrew’s spring Indiana University engagement session was perfect from start to finish. With the the soft light of dawn illuminating the campus, every moment was infused with warmth and joy. Undoubtably, these two were made for one another. Capturing that joy in a meaningful place was incredible! Because of rain, we had to reschedule a couple of times, but when the day finially arrived we had the most incredible sunlight. What a dream!

Both incredibly driven, Nicole’s passion for medicine led her to pursue a career in healthcare. So she dedicated herself to the studies required to become a doctor at Michigan State University. Meanwhile, Andrew’s ambitions also led him to law school in Michigan. With a keen intellect and a passion for justice, he embarked on a journey to pursue a career in law. But before they moved to Michigan, their journey began on the IU campus.

Spring Indiana University Engagement Session

As the sun began to rise, casting a golden glow over the campus, we embarked on our adventure. Everywhere we turned, spring blooms greeted us, adding a touch of romance to each shot. From the iconic Sample Gates to the blossoming trees, every corner of the campus was stunning. Because of the early morning timing, we had the campus almost entirely to ourselves.

I feel grateful to have been a part of Nicole and Andrew’s love story. Their genuine affection for each other and their alma mater was truly inspiring!
