Vintage Engagement Shoot At Keeneland From Melanie Mauer Photography

We have a few engagements we’d love to celebrate with you today! You know we’re huge believers in e*shoots … we’ve pretty much hammered that into your heads in the past. Today, we have an engagement session, submitted by LBB member Mackenzie Spalding of One Fine Day Wedding Consultation and shot by Melanie Mauer that drives home the point very nicely …

Anne and Frank flew in from Nevada for this shoot at Keeneland Race Course and the weather was horrible…we chatted on the phone about our options and given that this was our one chance to make images for their save-the-dates, we were determined to make it work.  It was raining as hard as it ever had and then 45 minutes into the shoot, it dried up for a little bit so we could walk around outside the stands.  Yay!!

I was so inspired by their thoughtfulness towards one another. Engagement shoots are so helpful on my end.  I have a chance to see how a couple interacts, study their faces to determine what looks best, calm nerves about what it will be like to be photographed (because the wedding day isn’t so different – just different clothes and less time!) … engagement sessions often make the wedding day smooth as silk!

THEY’RE SO CUTE! Thanks for thinking of us Mackenzie! Beautiful work, Melanie!

Congratulations, Anne & Frank! Best of luck with your wedding planning!!  ~The Style Me Pretty Team
