Madalyn and James' engagement session at the Indiana Statehouse felt like stepping into a modern Jane Austen film. Every detailed column, marble staircase, and glowing chandelier had me in a composition wonderland. The setting was so deeply romantic, but the real showstopper was the love between this beautiful couple. This incredible building provided the perfect canvas to show off the relationship between the future Mr. & Mrs. VanDrunen. Their bond is timeless, yet relaxed.

This is one of those "pinch me" moments. What was once a far-fetched dream is now hundreds of realities. The fact that this doesn’t even scratch the surface of what all 2025 was... There are a lot of emotions I feel when I look back at these images: joy, excitement, shock, reverence, grief, relief, optimism, triumph... but if I had to choose just one word to sum up what I'm feeling, it would be gratitude. Look at all of these beautiful people. I've made so many friends along

Whew! A full day on Saturday makes for a full blog on Monday! Stay with me, though, because this session is perfection. Not because we had incredible weather, or the cutest fur babies, or even the golden-est golden hour, but because the almost Mr. and Mrs. Stickels are a dream to capture. I've taken Caven's picture as a son, brother, uncle, groomsman, and now a fiancé, but I can't even tell you how excited I am to see him as a groom next summer! And then a husband forever aft
