When Ciara first contacted me about photographing her engagement session, I couldn’t have been more thrilled. That is, until she mentioned the location of my dreams: Bloomington, IN!! :) I had such a great time going back to campus and exploring with Ciara & Ethan. Even better than our setting was the people: Ethan and Ciara are perfect together! They made the session so much fun, and I am so excited to share that fun with you today!

Meet Ethan & Ciara!We started our session off near Assembly Hall — which just so happened to be the location of their first kiss!
How adorable are they?! :)
Love how sweet they are together! We made our way back onto campus afterwards, and it brought me right back to college :)  Of course, we had to make a few pit stops at famous IU landmarks! How perfect were the petals on the path?! Ahh! We had the best lighting! And, the great thing about Bloomington in the summer is that we were pretty much the only visitors around :) So sweet!


Dunn Meadow just has the best trees!
Of course, we had to get some photos in front of Sample Gates, too!
:) Love this next set so much!
We finished off the night with some IU love on Kirkwood — any Hoosier grads recognize these spots?! :) 

Ciara and Ethan,

Thank you so much for trusting me with your engagement photos! I had such a great time adventuring around Bloomington with you both :) Ethan, it was such a joy to get to know you more & see just how perfect you are for Ciara — I am so excited for the life you two will build together! 

Love love love,

Sami
