connie and steve April 17, 2007
connie and steve flew in from california this weekend to get their marriage license, so we met up yesterday to shoot their engagement session. with the weather being yucky like it was, we decided to take the shoot inside, and met at phipps conservatory. the theme of their wedding is ‘fun’ (think- beer and polka), and they wanted these photos to reflect that.
