How It All Started

Darrian and Megan met in the most classic small-town way—through friends. No elaborate setup, no long storyline… just two people who crossed paths at the right time. And it clearly worked, because fast-forward and Darrian had a sunset proposal planned on a Florida beach. Yes… sunset proposal. On a beach. In Florida. You already know I melted when I read that in their questionnaire.


A Love That Looks Like Adventure

When you ask Darrian and Megan what they love to do together, the answer comes fast: Travel. Take Harley trips. See new things. Meet new people. They don’t need one special place—because anywhere they go together becomes one. They’re that couple who can turn any road, any back alley, any old truck or rusty barn into a memory. And as a photographer?? Those are my kind of people.


The Vision for Their Session

Rustic. Fall. Warm. Natural. A little bit adventurous. A little bit romantic. And definitely… sunset.

They mentioned loving old cars, old trucks, Harley shots, scenic views—basically anything with character. They also said: “We love old shit.” A couple after my own heart.

Since they’re open to creativity (and openly admitted, “We have no idea what we’re doing but we’re here for the moment”), their session will be crafted to feel effortless, natural, and full of movement. The plan includes: A few shots at their home shop — the place that holds their real life Open fields + tall grass — because Iowa fall is undefeated Their Harley — non-negotiable Sunset glow — their absolute favorite

They’re aiming for photos that feel loving, warm, and a little lively — the perfect mix of who they are.


What I Love Most About Them

There’s something special about couples who show up saying: “We’re open to anything. We’re here for the moment.” That’s where the magic happens.

Darrian and Megan are laid-back in the best way — trusting, adventurous, warm, and ready to laugh their way through the session. They don’t need a perfect plan or Pinterest board to shine. They just need each other… and maybe a Harley, a little rust, and a sunset.
