You may just remember these two from their earlier engagement photo session in February. This one beats it hands down. Not only was the weather more than 70 degrees warmer, but I felt markedly more confident behind the camera as I imagine Lauren and Shawn did in front of it the second time around. We walked along the Lake Mendota shoreline to some of their favorite spots. We stopped. We had a little fun. And at the end of it all, we gulped down cool, frosty beers at the Union Terrace.

These are my kind of people.

I can't wait for their wedding in October up at a gorgeous lakefront resort in Northern Wisconsin. It will be the first wedding I'll ever attend as the photographer and to say that I am nervous would be a gross understatement. But lucky for me, these two are so laid-back, hilarious and in love, I have a feeling everything is going to work out just fine.
