Patrick + Tammy | Engaged!! Love this couple! On the day of Tammy’s birthday, she woke up as normal to pack because they had plans to head out to French Lick to celebrate. All of a sudden there was a door bell ring and it was a beautiful bouquet of flowers sent to her from Patrick. She was in awe 🙂 Patrick works nights so as soon as he woke up they finished packing and headed out to French Lick for the evening. They checked into their hotel room and while hanging out, there was a knock on the door. It was the hotel concierge bringing Tammy a bottle of champagne, chocolate covered strawberries and a Happy Birthday balloon. After drinking the bottle of champagne and eating the strawberries, Patrick and Tammy set out on a walk in the gardens at French Lick. Tammy turned to check out some flowers and when she turned back around Patrick was standing in the garden looking at his beautiful bride to be. She asked him if everything was ok? And right then and there he got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife! It was completely unexpected and of course Tammy said YES!
For their engagement session, Patrick and Tammy invited me to their beautiful home here in Evansville. I had the pleasure of meeting their 3 kiddos and two dogs. I had a wonderful time capturing some family pictures, family fun and then these two alone. Tammy wanted her engagement session to include everyone. She also really wanted it to be as real to life as possible. We definitely had a real to life session from silly faces, dog kisses, fun and cute moments as a couple to a tickle-fest on their couch. This couple is so truly blessed! I really enjoyed every minute with Patrick, Tammy + their family. The kids were wonderful little picture takers and I adore the way they were interested in all the images we took.
Patrick + Tammy – thank you two SO much for such a wonderful time. I really enjoyed your engagement session, meeting your dogs and kiddos and hanging out with my camera in your home. I LOVE your engagement session images and how real so many of them are. From one mom to another, you are SO blessed! I love that you invited me over and I can’t wait to watch you walk down the isle!

✅ 1. Set Boundaries With Your Calendar No more saying yes to everything. I only take a set number of weddings per year and I block off weekends for my family, rest, or personal creative projects. I also don’t love working on Sundays {I love going to church and spending that day with my family and friends} so […]
