Katie and Kaleb's Engagement

It is really difficult to find a happy ending to a blind date story...especially in High School!  It was their junior year and Katie's friends all had dates with Kaleb's friends from another school.  This is how their story begins.  Randy and I met this happy couple a few months ago and I saw right away how much fun these two were going to be.  I'm not sure if we have laughed any more in a client meeting.

We started at the newly renovated Hotel Julien in Downtown Dubuque.  All I can say about the renovations is wow!  Katie and Kaleb were total naturals in front of the camera.  Of course I think its easier when you are with the one you love and can concentrate on them!

It was so cold outside that we were looking for some big indoor spaces to take some pictures.  Of course we landed at the Grand River Center.  Randy loves these pictures.  We told them to totally ham it up getting off the escalator.  

We went outside and braved the cold a bit.  I couldn't help but get a bit cheesey and asked them to do the fish and hook move.  I think they do it quite well!

What a great looking couple!

 

Of course we had to show off the bling.

We headed to the brick wall wich makes an excellent backdrop for these two love birds!

We just couldn't get these two to keep their hands off each other!

These two are going to be very happy for the rest of their lives.

We ended at the field behind the Mt. Plesant Home.  It was fun to play in the snow even if it was a bit packed.

 

This is my favorite picture.  The love they have for each other just shines through.

Katie and Kaleb will be married on May 29.  I can't wait!  See more pictures here.
