When Emily inquired with me about anniversary photos in Indianapolis for her and her husband Kyle, I was so excited! But when she said she wanted them before their anniversary trip in the middle of winter, I was ecstatic! I love winter and living in Charleston for the past several years, I never had a chance to photograph a couple where it actually looked like winter. Even better, they asked me to photograph a surprise announcement for their friends and family at the end!
Emily and Kyle have been married for nine years, since they were 19 years old!
They met in high school, and both knew early on that they wanted to be together. Since then, they have moved from Rolla, Missouri, where they’re both from, to Indianapolis for Kyle’s first job as an air traffic controller. Emily took a few years off after high school and ended up going straight into real estate that has suited her so well! She has taken off as a well known realtor in the area, helping countless couples and families find the perfect home for them, including my family just last year! She has the patience of a saint and is truly just so good at her job!
We chose to do their anniversary session in downtown Indianapolis at the Central Public Library and the War Memorial.
What I love about these two locations is how they provide a wide variety of backdrops in close proximity! The Central Library is only a five minute walk from each other and both give such a different vibe- both are very classic, but The War Memorial has the best skyline view for anniversary photos in Indianapolis! Their session was especially magical since there was still snow on the ground and the sun set perfectly over the surrounding high rise buildings to give them the perfect golden light! Emily wore a darling sweater with a striped skirt and booties, while Kyle wore a blazer, dress shirt and pants. I love when couples use neutral colors, and different textures and patterns in their clothing that compliment each other. This adds so much interest to images while avoiding it being too “matchy matchy”.
Congratulations Emily and Kyle on your anniversary and your new adventure!
Congratulations on nine years of wedded bliss! I’m so honored that you asked me to capture these announcement and anniversary photos in Indianapolis for you both, and even more excited for this next chapter in your life! I can’t wait to see you both take on this new role as parents, and even more so take his or her lifestyle newborn photos when he arrives!
