Darci and Marc are the winners of my Engagement Photo Contest!
These guys let me drag them to some of the places I’ve been dying to shoot in St. Louis before I leave town – including some run down buildings (one with a killer rooftop) and the train tracks behind Union Station. At Union Station we worried for a minute about getting yelled at for being where we shouldn’t. As it turns out, we should have been more concerned about getting stuck. While we were playing on one of the train cars furthest out, another train started rolling in. It made for good images at first…then we noticed we were completely trapped! The train was really long, and there was no way around it to get back to our car. In the end we had to duck under the other (not moving) trains, climb up a hill, hop over a fence, and then walk the long way back to the car. It was really funny, and I’m glad Darci and Marc saw the humor in it instead of getting upset with me!
Thanks to all who entered the contest! Darci and Marc met at a wedding back east a few years ago, where they bonded over a mutual love for mountain biking. Marc was living in Colorado then, and it just wasn’t the right time for them to get together. But a few years later, the two had kept in touch and things fell into place. Marc moved to St. Louis and they got engaged back in April. Congratulations to them, and good luck with the wedding planning!
