The branches of the trees grew up and over a small paved path near Butler University, creating a leafy tunnel. Niki and Sam paused while walking down this path, holding hands and turned to face each other. The light from the sun broke through the foliage in a few places, but mostly just highlighted the area behind them. As Niki and Sam stood there, looking at each other with love, they hugged. Then Sam reached up and kissed Niki ever so gently on the forehead. during their Holcomb Gardens engagement session.

I had so much fun capturing Niki and Sam’s Holcomb Gardens engagement session! These two were so genuinely in love. Throughout the shoot, they kept making each other laugh and smile. Taking their photos almost felt like spying on a couple on a date. They way they took care of each other and held hands and hugged and kissed. It’s enough to make you swoon just a little.

On top of getting to work with such a fun couple, it was great to return to Holcomb Gardens. This is one of the most magical places around Indianapolis. The way the light shines through the trees and the transition from the forest area to the hedges and the more open parts just gives you so many great places to shoot! I’m so glad I got to take advantage of all of it with Niki and Sam. Their wedding post will be coming to the blog soon, so keep your eyes open next week for some beautiful photos from their lakeside wedding.
