Jessica + Forrest : Polynesian Village Resort Engagement Session

January 9, 2017 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, we showed up for an engagement session at the Polynesian, and Jennifer Love Hewitt’s clone showed up! These two are from Mississippi, which meant that *my* southern accent was back in full swing for a good week. ;)

Jessica and Forrest met at a college football game through friends- Jessica’s childhood babysitter and Forrest’s big sister were friends. One thing led to another, and Forrest became a converted Disney fan and even popped the question in front of Cinderella Castle. Jessica said she never saw it coming! :)

We loved getting to know these guys and this became one of my favorite sessions from last year. Enjoy! :)

Thanks for meeting up to play for a bit, y’all. We wish you the very best!! :)

Liz + Aaron : Winter Park Engagement Session

December 26, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Liz and Nate were in the same circle of friends in high school. Then they went to UCF and were just a building or two away from each other. :)

The last time we met with this beauty, she’d just relocated to San Francisco, and we were out there for a wedding. And now our next trip out there will be for HER wedding! We were thrilled to finally meet the two loves of her life- Aaron and Macklin. (Yes, as in THE Burt Macklin!)

Macklin, you son of a gun. <3

After we played around the streets of downtown Winter Park, we headed to Rollins College to wrap up our shoot. :)

Liz and Aaron love playing dominos, and I loved working in their wedding date for this shot! :)

Too many favorites, but this is up there. I love y’all. <3

Liz and Aaron, we are so pumped for your wedding!! See you in California before you know it!! <3

Julie + Nate : Winter Park Engagement Session

December 19, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

This Orlando teacher and West Virginian physician met in high school and reconnected years later. Their relationship so far has been full of airport visits, but they’re looking forward to Julie finally putting down roots here with Nate in Orlando next spring! Julie picked their session location, Rollins College, after browsing the archives of our blog. I’m so glad they did, and she even picked her dress for photos in front of my favorite ivy wall! :)

If we couldn’t love them more, Nate is the cousin of our favorite Root Lifers- The blog-famous Taylor family! <3

Thank you for the wonderful afternoon, y’all!! Happy wedding planning! :)
