Engagement Portrait Locations

Next to choosing a wedding date and venue, one of the first things couples start thinking about after they become engaged is where to have their engagement pictures taken.

Richard and Kelsey thought about that, too... and decided to have their pictures shot in three separate locations in and around Springfield, MO!

Although their engagement session took place in early January, we got lucky with the weather.  The skies were blue, the sun was shining, and the air was just chilly enough to give Richard and Kelsey an extra reason to cuddle.  Not that they needed it:)

We started shooting their engagement pictures at Nathanael Greene - Close Memorial Park in Springfield.  Later, we went to the spot where they became engaged--and met their dog, who was waiting patiently for them to arrive!

Finally, we finished the shoot in downtown Springfield, to give their engagement picture locations a little extra variety.

Here are some sample pictures from this wonderful couple's engagement photography session on Sunday, January 6, 2013...

These are of course just a small sample of the finished engagement pictures we delivered to Richard and Kelsey.  But hopefully it gives you an idea of the variety of poses, locations, and moments that we're able to capture in a 90-minute engagement portrait session.

Award Winning Wedding Photography


This week I learned that Cool Change Photography won a 2013 Bride's Choice Award from the Wedding Wire Network!

For those who aren't familiar, The WeddingWire Bride's Choice Awards recognizes the top five percent of professionals in markets across America that demonstrate excellence in quality, service, responsiveness and professionalism.

Unlike other industry awards, they are based on real online reviews and extensive surveys from over 750,000 WeddingWire newlyweds.

The bottom line:  I have a lot of very happy clients.  And that makes me both very happy, and very proud... particularly because there were only two other wedding photographers in the Springfield/Branson market that also made the cut.

If you are planning your own wedding in 2013 or beyond in the Springfield or Branson, Missouri area I would be honored to photograph your wedding and add you to our growing list of very happy clients, too! 

Please feel free to check out my portfolio of wedding pictures and engagement pictures, as well as our affordable prices and packages anytime.

Thanks very much for reading... and a special thanks to each and every one of my past clients for taking the time and effort to write some very complimentary online reviews.  I truly appreciate it:)
