072920-001 It was a humid July day when I met up with Austin and Alyssa for their engagement session.  072920-013 We began our session at this gorgeous mural in downtown Iowa City.  I just love the bright pop of color behind these beautiful love birds.  All the blues make their eyes pop! 072920-017 072920-031 I had so much fun wandering the alleys of downtown (which sounds super sketchy, but the alleys have the best locations for portraits. Honestly!) with Austin and Alyssa, getting to know them better.  072920-044 072920-051 072920-065 Austin works with a realty group doing marketing, and Alyssa is an actuary.  They have two kitties that they adore. 072920-071 072920-075 After wandering downtown, we headed to the Old Capitol.  I love the steps on the west side, such beautiful architecture and we had some amazing light for their session! 072920-088 072920-091 072920-102 072920-117 After the more urban downtown feel, we headed to Terry Trueblood to capture some gorgeous photos in a more natural setting.  So beautiful! 072920-132 072920-134 Austin and Alyssa were naturals in front of the camera!  Such a joy to photograph!! 072920-142 072920-151 072920-175 072920-182 Due to the cloudy day, we were running out of light at the end of the session, but I love the blue texture in the sky from the clouds.  I love the colors in these images! 072920-186 072920-190 Thank you, Austin and Alyssa, for being so amazing to work with!  I cannot wait until your wedding day next year!!
