Why I Love Couples Sessions as a Photographer in Indiana | McKenna and Drew

FILED IN: Engagement

Today we’re going to take a look at McKenna & Drew’s couples session, one of the most fun sessions that I’ve had the chance to document as a photographer in Indiana! These two met online a few years ago, & they are some of the funniest, most genuine, & down to earth people I’ve met. Their session was a wonderful celebration of everything they love, & a perfect example of why these sessions are so special!

McKenna & Drew’s Session

Couples sessions are a ton fun for me to document as they give the couple space to do the things that they truly love to do together. Life is SO much more than just the big moments like your wedding or engagement, all the little details of day to day life are something everyone experiences & they deserve celebration! For McKenna & Drew this took shape in many fun ways throughout their session. From chats on the front porch, walks around the neighborhood, & even heading to 6th Street Dive for a margarita, each of these moments are authentic representations of the life these two share together. Documenting the magic in the day to day is what makes couples sessions so rewarding to me as a photographer in Indiana. That & I get to hang out with fun & hilarious couples like McKenna & Drew!

What I Love About Couples Sessions as a Photographer in Indiana

McKenna & Drew’s couples session is THE perfect showcase of what makes this style of session one of my favorites to document as a photographer in Indiana! These sessions give couples a chance to be themselves and show off their unique passions, personalities, & most importantly their love for one another. They’re such a fun celebration of what makes each relationship special, & the low stress setting allows for even the most camera shy individuals to relax. 

As a professional photographer in Indiana I know just how stressful it can be to have a stranger pointing a camera at you for hours on end. That’s why I love how these sessions give couples the chance to really let loose & be themselves! Drew for example was pretty nervous when our session began, but he warmed up incredibly quickly as we were able to get to know each other in the comfort of his & McKenna’s home.
