Engagement Photography Session – Indiana University Campus and Oliver Winery, Bloomington Indiana
-Post by Cathy.
The day we shot this engagement session was absolutely perfect. The clouds gave us some gorgeous, even light and the colors of the fall leaves were so bright and vibrant. Plus, it didn’t hurt that we had some amazing subjects.![]()
Brianna and Scott are one of the cutest couples ever! They seem so perfect and natural together which made them so easy to photograph. They recently moved from California (where they’ll be getting married next year) to go to I.U. here in Bloomington, which is why we focused on campus for the first half of their session. And since Bri and Scott both love wine tasting (and are planning a California vineyard wedding), we decided to also grab some photos at Oliver Winery (which reminded us a bit of Kate and Nathan’s Iowa vineyard wedding earlier this year) since it is absolutely gorgeous in the fall. Bri and Scott – you guys were awesome and we hope you enjoy your photos! Hit us up for a wine tasting trip anytime–we’re totally there.![]()
Anyways, on with the photos!![]()
Meet Brianna!


Meet Scott!


The moss of these steps were just too pretty not to post.![]()










I love everything about this image.![]()












This picture just makes me so happy!
It’s David’s favorite.






We couldn’t help getting in a quick tasting of some of Oliver’s delicious wines.
David and I love wine and if any of our readers ever want to get together and go to a wine tasting you don’t have to twist our arm.![]()


My favorite!![]()








“Bond.. James Bond.” How suave does Scott look here??


David couldn’t resist getting them to sit on the barrels.
BTW… there were pumpkins EVERYWHERE as you can see in the background!




Another of David’s favorites.










Hot.


David did his best ‘horse whispering’ to get the horses to come over for the shot.




Here’s hoping we get a chance to add ‘Oliver Winery Wedding Photographers’ to our checklist at some point. We’d love to shoot one there as the grounds are absolutely gorgeous. A special thanks to the staff for letting us stay after hours to take pictures.![]()
Thanks for reading! -Cathy.

Angi Davis - OK…you KNOW I’m going to comment–I totally dig winery shoots! We’ve done an engagement shoot and a wedding at the one outside of Bloomington, IL, and have another wedding/reception there in 2010. Nicely done!

David & Cat – you continue with your awesomeness of seeing the love captured in each and every photograph you take. Just so you know – even if I wasn’t your Mom/Mom-in-law, I would still tell you what fabulous photographers you are.
