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!!

Clare + Jackson : Family

September 19, 2012 by Jensey 8 Comments

I’m a little late(r than usual) in posting this adorable family!

Erika first heard about us when she was up all night with Jackson when he was an infant- After searching the DIS Boards wedding forum and stumbling on our pal Carrie’s planning journal, she found our blog and has been reading along ever since!

These guys are actually from our home state, but after a rained out Tennessee session, we ended up photographing them around Downtown Disney when our trips lined up. They are the picture perfect family of four (soon to be five!), and we just loved hanging out with them, even though I totally lost my camera bag somewhere in the first ten minutes of our shoot! I tried to play it cool for the remainder of the session, reminding myself that while I’m a total idiot, we have insurance for these things… Thankfully, Disney Security is awesome and my Kelly Moore bag was patiently waiting for me at Guest Relations when we were done. *Whew!*

Jackson is the sweetest big brother ever… This completely unprompted hug made me tear up!

I told you- Sweetest boy ever.

FAVORITE!

It’s impossible to be around Clare Bear and *not* smile!

You guys, thanks for letting us play with you!!! Can’t wait to meet the next addition. :)

More Disney family sessions!

Valerie + John : Wedding Part II

September 13, 2012 by Jensey 5 Comments

Continued from Valerie and John’s Wedding Part I!

Germantown Presbyterian had one of the more intense “church ladies” we’d ever worked with. She was constantly breathing down our neck about the timeline and had to know where we were and where we were planning on being every minute we were shooting. I felt like her eyes were locked on me during the whole ceremony to make sure I didn’t go one step farther than our invisible boundary allowed. It wasn’t until I told her that we were planning on taking Valerie and John to the church gymnasium that she lost her mind- “You’re taking them where? Are you kidding me?!”

Lucky for us, Valerie and John trusted us completely and I ended up getting my favorite shot of the day (luckily Mom and church lady weren’t around to see them tossing their flowers!) :
