Melissa and John | Engagement Photos | Michigan City | Washington Park

It was so nice to finally meet Melissa and John in person!



We met today at Countryside Church, where John is a pastor. Their wedding will be there in August. They wanted to take a walk around Creek Ridge County Park and it was a fantastic idea! It could not have been a more beautiful day, especially after the icky cold rain yesterday.






Next we went to Washington Park, which was packed with people for the first time since I started doing sessions this spring. Summer is truly here!

About Me

My Photo
Amy Straka Waters
Michigan City, Indiana, United States
I'm Amy Straka Waters. I never formally studied photography, though it was my hobby throughout high school and college. I thought I'd end up in journalism. I though I wanted to write. Then I started carrying some stuff around for Monica Zibutis. I just thought I'd make a few extra bucks on a few Saturdays. In fact, I'd never even attended a wedding when I started working with Monica. She turned those few Saturdays into every day. She turned my hobby into a career. After my own wedding, this career means even more to me. Everytime I look at my wedding photos I can hear the cello, taste the wine, and relive the whole thing. Everyone I know and love was finally in one place. I'm blessed to have beautiful memories of that, and blessed again to see those memories illustrated. I am honored to do the same for others. I never bothered with that career in journalism. I have no interest in chasing big stories, only small ones. The intimacy and emotion of wedding and portrait photography enveloped me. I love it!
