He flourished under her encouragement, “You GOT this!”
She rose to the top despite his best heckling attempts, “MISS IT!”
After a weekend of back to back meetings in final wedding preparation, they walked into their engagement session ready for just plain fun. Together. As a couple. Remembering why they’re doing all this anyway.
With her floral boots & his killer mustache,
Madelaine & Henry grabbed a beer and competed with a game of darts to kick off the evening.
The Delmar Loop, and specifically the iconic Blueberry Hill, was a favorite date night spot prior to moving to North Carolina. We found “their” table & swapped a few stories before heading to Forest Park’s Art Hill for sunset. The perfect summer breeze blew gently all evening – a welcome respite from weeks of storms. And seriously, as they say, the rest is history.
Meet Madelaine & Henry.
A couple who never – like really – never stop laughing with each other.
And to be honest? We wouldn’t have it any other way! Enjoy these favorites and keep your eyes peeled for their July wedding – final countdown!

Cannot handle these two! Seriously, can they be any more fun?!
