It’s always an honor and sometimes a bit nerve racking to shoot for other artists. Andy is a photographer and Stacey is a graphic designer, so they each have their set styles and know what they like. Andy and Stacey made the shoot effortless with their easy going personalities and playful interactions— both traits that will serve them well in marriage.

Andy proposed the day they moved into their first apartment together. He had planned to do it early in the day but Stacey forgot to mention she had dance rehearsal that evening and errands to run, leaving Andy to nervously fiddle with the ring in his pocket all day. He finally had to sit her down on the coffee table— the only piece of furniture they had at the time. When he had her full attention he popped some champagne and then popped the question.

These two are naturals!

Ghetto Protected? I’m not sure what exactly it means but Stacey and Andy showed me a hidden area along Saint Anthony Main.
