Anna and Matt love architecture and Anna really wanted a European feel to their engagement shoot. We decided to head downtown to see what we could find to inspire us.
With this mission in mind, I immediately thought of this building below. I remember it as the old Rococo Restaurant and supplier of the best chocolate platter I have ever indulged in! I'm not sure what it is used for now, but the exterior still has the same incredible facade. We were here for a while trying out all sorts of angles and lenses-so much fun! Anna and Matt had to tear me away...
Anna and Matt have such mesmerizing blue eyes, so beautiful.
Meet Matt, dance extraordinaire by day and fire fighter by night.
That's right ladies a real, live, fire fighter! I can't wait for their wedding in August. You can bet that there will definitely be fire trucks incorporated into our photo shoot!
The story behind all of the almost-kisses is that Anna and Matt have made a pact that their first real, on-the-lips-kiss is going to be on their wedding day!!! Until then they can kiss anywhere but there. It all started with something Matt said to Anna well before they even started dating, and as time went on and their relationship grew, they decided that it would be an amazing experience that they wanted to wait for and share on their wedding day.
I am so proud of you guys for staying true to each other and your commitment, I can't imagine how hard it must be sometimes! August can't come soon enough!
Congratulations! I am SO excited for your wedding :)

The photos look great Melissa, and I really like the way the 'almost kisses' look. I was going to compliment you on catching that moment right before. I think I like it better than kissing pictures. Love the wide lens.
Thanks Avey!
I had a lot of fun photographing Anna and Matt. They were very relaxed and up for almost anything. I like the "almost-kisses" too - maybe I should start incorporating that concept into other sessions. I love the tension and anticipation it creates in the image.
Wait until you see their wedding in August - fire trucks!!! SO excited!
Thanks for commenting :)
