Abby & Justin’s engagement session: Tiger fans return to their Grrr-ing grounds

Abby & Justin (or some might call him Jugo) have known Neil and me for several years. Neil used to slave away at Garfield’s restaurant with Jugo (and I bet they miss those days…haha). They moved to St. Joseph, Missouri a couple of years ago, but come back to Columbia every so often.
Justin proposed to Abby on one such visit…last fall, after an MU football game. So when they ventured back again to this college town, we had to get some fun Tiger colors in. We used the tunnel that goes under Stadium Blvd. for some fun shots with black and gold.

Abby & Justin are super cool…laid back…and fun. The first picture shows the laid back part of them.

And then I asked them to do something different each time I said “GO!” They tried!!

How cool would this be in a HUGE gallery wrap on the wall? 🙂

Then we were off to the columns. It’s always hard to be original there as it’s something that most couples who went to MU want to do. But I thought this one was pretty cool…and darling, too. 🙂

Ok, I’m a female photographer…so both of those factors went into me being excited that the graffit was PINK! How cute for Abby & Justin!
