Matt & Frances :: Engagement

I knew Frances’ name sounded familiar the moment I received her phone call. Since everyone in River Ridge seems to know each other, her last name rang a bell! It’s always so nice when you get to work with friends of friends. It was funny because we comfortably booked everything via phone and email even though we hadn’t met yet. Randomly, I was at Bootcamp one night and I kept hearing “Frances” while we were working out… so after a few times – I was like WAIT I think that’s the Frances that booked me! (Because she is also friends with Guerre who runs Bootcamp for us) So anyway, shortly after- I said.. hey I’m Jen Amato- you’re Wedding Photographer! HAHA, what a way to meet huh? So then we chatted about their upcoming Engagement Session and continued working out! She was so sweet, I couldn’t wait to do their shoot!

So here they are! I loved how she had a vision and wanted to go with it. Loved the idea of hopping on the Streetcar and finding interesting spots on Oak Street. They love the restaurant Jacques-Imo’s, so it was fun incorporating that into their shoot. Came across that old Lime green VW Bus again on Oak and couldn’t pass it up- love that thing! I had a great time photographing such a cute couple, enjoyed chatting with them and riding the street car along St. Charles Ave. Can’t wait to photograph their Wedding this upcoming June!

Here are some on the streetcar!
