This engagement session with Brady and Mikaela, where we went from downtown Cedar Falls to the golden prairie grass, was EVERYTHING. Get this – these two met at the hospital where they both work as nurses, and the cutest part? One of their patients literally played matchmaker by telling Mikaela she needed to ask Brady out. I mean, come on! STOP! (but don’t).
We started downtown in Cedar Falls, and even though Brady swears he’s an introvert who needs convincing to leave the house (except for Target runs!), you’d never guess it. The way these two vibe together just makes my job easy – Mikaela’s spontaneous energy brings out this whole other side of him that’s just pure joy to capture.
Then we hit the prairie for sunset and holy golden hour magic! Their pup Macky joined us (because dog parents = best parents) and it was just chef’s kiss. Like, when your couples are out here being competitive at pickleball one day and hitting up local breweries the next, you know the photos are gonna be good. These two are just naturally fun together, whether they’re cozied up on some random staircase downtown or laughing in the tall grass.
I can’t wait to meet up with them again at their perfect wedding spot at Holiday Lake. They’re just that couple (like all my couples honestly) that reminds me why I love this job – totally real, completely themselves, and straight-up relationship goals.
