Inn at Irwin Gardens Photos

The Inn at Irwin Gardens is the closest thing to Italy we have here in Indiana. It was the backdrop for Shelby and Taylor’s engagement shoot the other night. We had to reschedule due to rainy weather, but once it was all said and done the night turned out just gorgeous. I loved getting to know Taylor and Shelby over the course of the evening. Taylor has a YouTube channel and likes to review tech stuff. It was fun to geek out a little bit over camera gear with him. And Shelby is starting her career as a pediatric speech therapist. How cool is that!?

These two met at a church event when Taylor moved back to Indiana after a few years of being away. Taylor enjoys meeting new people so he went ahead and friended everyone he met from that night on Facebook. Shelby got friended in that group. Long story short, Shelby saw some of Taylor’s photography on FB and liked the pictures. Then Taylor noticed something Shelby had posted and wrote her saying how much he had liked what she said. She saw that he had written her but she was tired and thought it was just a dream, haha! When she woke up she saw it wasn’t a dream and wrote him back. The rest is history.

Also, how crazy is this… After I posted the sneak peek for this shoot it was discovered that Taylor’s sister-in-law is actually my first cousin. So in a very unofficial and a definitely through marriage way we’re family now, haha!
