scott and natalie are engaged

I don't know if we'll ever top the engagement session we did with Scott and Natalie yesterday! Scott works with the elephants at the Indianapolis Zoo (which is his dream job, and we now know why), and through his connection we were given permission to go on exhibit with them!!! The trainers were awesome and let us spend a couple of minutes with Sophi, the 40 year old female elephant in these photos. After the shoot they even let Dan and I get up and close and meet her, and even feel her skin! The elephants were HUGE and it was the most amazing, overwhelming, intimidating (but in a good way) experience to walk among them. Sophi weighs about 9,900 pounds, to give you an idea of how small we felt next to them. So...not only did we have the most amazing experience with the elephants, but Scott and Natalie were alright to work with too! :) Just kidding...they were more than "alright", they are AWESOME!!! They are the sweetest couple and they have so much fun being with each other. We really enjoyed getting to know them on our journey through the zoo and gardens! Scott and Natalie, thank you so much for the shoot yesterday! If you're still looking for a ring bearer, you might think about inviting Sophi to the wedding next June...she was amazing!!!


One of the trainers, Tim, thought they needed some wind in their hair so he brought over an industrial strength fan. Great look!!
