Sondra and Jake are a great couple, and have been sweethearts since high school. And Sondra blogs for Wedding Chicks, which is great because we get to help her share her wedding with the world!

We had a beautiful day to work with for their engagement shoot,
and the Botanic Gardens were looking very autumn!

The fall colors were perfect

Right in front of Jake’s feet is a little turtle. He (or she) just hung out there while we shot.

Flowers are always great to bring to a shoot!

Love this lens flair

Back near their house, Jake strolled up with a bundle of balloons and his skateboard

Showing off for his lady

What a fantastic box for your engagement ring to come in!

The golden sunset reflecting off the steel rails was really awesome
