Casey + Cory : Engagement

September 20, 2012 by Jensey 3 Comments

Casey and Cory are getting married next month, so I think it’s about time to share their engagement photos!

Cory worked for 3 days setting up for his marriage proposal- He handmade candelabras and hung them from the trees in a trail where they walk their dogs. It doesn’t get much more romantic than that, folks! :) When we started talking about engagement session locations, it only made sense to do it there, and I’m so glad we did… Thank you Lakeland, Tennessee, for being the perfect backdrop!

You know it’s a Tennessee engagement session when there are sundresses with cowboy boots. <3

Casey, you’re gorgeous.

I love, love, love these next two!

Nate’s favorite. :)

Casey and Cory, thank you for being so awesome! We can’t wait for your big day, just a short month away!!

Kelley + Tom : Engagement

September 3, 2012 by Jensey 3 Comments

Our trip to Philadelphia for Larisa and Eric’s sessions marked our first of five(!!!!!!!!!!!!!) trips to Pennsylvania in the next year. I don’t know why the increase in couples up there, but I’m totally fine with it! I learned on this trip that from now on when we travel to a new place, I need to look at a darn map- I had no idea how many big cities are clustered together there! I posted a photo on Instagram (my username is jenseylove!) that we were about to start a session in downtown Philly when a dear friend of mine emailed me, totally hurt I didn’t tell her I was in town. “But, Stef, you’re in New Jersey!” Yeah- She was a 15 minute drive away!

Kelley and Tom are getting married at the Biltmore next March (eeeeeee!) and lucky for us, we were able to fit an engagement session with them while we were in their hometown for Larisa and Eric’s anniversary session. So many of our couples live outside of Florida, where most of our weddings take place, and I love being able to photograph them in their hometown! We had fun exploring with these two, whose session was full of getting to know you time and me learning a ton about hairless cats. Yes- hairless cats. They have one and Tom’s mom shows them. This is why I love our couples! :)

I love how photogenic this city is. :)

Favorite!!!!! Kelley and Tom, we’ll see you guys next year! :)

More Philly Sessions! :)

Rachel + Matthew : Engagement

Rachel is smart, funny, spunky, and down-right gorgeous, so it was no surprise to hear that she was Nate’s senior class president in high school! Nate’s memory isn’t the best when it comes to that time in his life, (editor’s note: Or any other time beyond a month!) so on the way to the session, he informed me she was their “valedictorian or something else important like that.” :)

I loved this engagement session, and I hope you do, too! We photographed around their home in Delray Beach, Florida. I’d never been to Delray, and my only complaint about our visit was that we didn’t spend enough time there!
