I decided some of them were too good to keep for ourselves so I have a few oldies for you.<\/p>\n<p>First up, Neil and Jodi&#8217;s engagement session. Neil and Jodi approached us to take their engagement photos, and we became fast friends. We started at <a title=\"Mullets Restaurant\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mulletsdm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mullets<\/a>, their favorite breakfast joint where you&#8217;ll still see them sipping coffee every Saturday morning. Later, we took a walk alongside the Des Moines Riverwalk where Neil and Jodi spent part of their first date &#8212; pretty romantic stuff. After we were done freezing our pants off, we ventured inside at the <a title=\"Botanical Center\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dmbotanicalgarden.com\/\">Botanical Center<\/a>. Heading to the Botan&#8217; wasn&#8217;t in our original plans, but we all thought it was a good idea since it was so cold. I&#8217;m glad we ended up there; some of those photos are my absolute favorite.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-Full-Width wp-image-2775\"
