Nikki + Michael : Engagement

May 19, 2011 by Jensey 2 Comments

These two are extra special to us because they come from two past couples… Not only is Michael the best friend of Michael (of Nicole and Michael), but Nikki is Jason’s sister (of Dara and Jason).

When it came time for us to discuss locations for their engagement session, there was no other option in their minds than Disney’s Polynesian Resort, where Michael popped the question. It was quite the elaborate set-up involving Michael (our past groom) going to the Polynesian first and lighting candles and hiding out to take photos of the big moment. After a Downtown Disney movie date, Nikki asked to stop at Publix on the way home, but Michael insisted on stopping for a Dole Whip. The last thing Nikki expected was a proposal!

Before popping the question, Michael surprised Nikki with a comic book starring them that he spent hours and hours making. (Photo taken by the talented and stealthy Michael Snead, our past groom whom I hope to trick into joining us at weddings soon…)


The last page of said comic book :

Nikki, you’re gorgeous.

My favorite. :)

Nikki and Michael, we’re so excited for your big day this July!

Tea Party Engagement

May 12, 2011 by Lorie 2 Comments

Because I’m still on a Royal Wedding high and not ready for it to be over, today’s design board is inspired by a British tea party :)  How adorable would this be for an engagement shoot?! I mean, seriously, every guy looks good in a vest, and when paired with a bow tie? Perfection!

Christie + Alex : Engagement

May 3, 2011 by Jensey 17 Comments

When we were in the 7th grade, my best friend Kolby thought Alex was the dreamiest guy in the world. He was best friends with both of our big brothers, and he really had it all: Cute smile, he could do an actual back flip, and best of all, he would acknowledge me when we were in the same room (a trait that truly only little sisters of high school brothers notice!) Ok, so maybe I had a little crush on Alex, too… ;)

When Christie emailed and told us she was engaged to THE Alex and that they’d be able to come to Nashville for a session, the 7th grader inside of me got so excited. When we first saw each other, I’m pretty sure I shouted, “Oh my gosh, Alex, you’re all grown up!” I mean, the last time I remember seeing Alex, my big brother “accidentally” flew his model plane into Alex’s mom. Her face, to be exact.

Needless to say, we’re all grown up. And Alex is in love, with a beauty named Christie, who I’m now equally smitten with. I mean… This girl knows how to work a camera!

It was Nate and my first session in downtown Nashville, and we were like kids in a candy shop! Luckily Christie and Alex were up for anything. :)

Christie claims to be an air traffic controller, but I think she models. I mean, seriously…

I love how they love. <3 Favorite!

We were standing in an alley taking photos when I happened to glance a the wall I was leaning on and read this! How perfect is that? I’d love to know the story behind that one. :)

New Jensey rule : If we see a mural painting of a baby llama, we’re gonna make you kiss in front of it. :)

Alex and Christie, thank you so, so much for everything. We truly hope to see y’all again soon! :)
