 It’s easy to see that they have finally found the ONE… in each other. Jami and Chris enjoy date nights playing ‘Magic’ the Gathering card game, going to the movies and sometimes just sitting in their home watching tv. Chris is easy going, hard working and family oriented and would do just about anything to make Jami happy. So, when Jami suggested a 50s themed engagement session, Chris went along with no (little) hesitation. He even agreed to wear a fadora, wing tipped shoes, and a bow tie! Well, as they say a couple that plays together, stays together ; )

The session started with this polka dotted dress Jami found on ebay.com! She added a few red accessories, matching shoes and cat eye glasses to complete the look. Jami wears little makeup normally but was all excited about a makeover with JEMMA. She went with the 50s red-lips look, which looked absolutely gorgeous on her!

They adore each other…

G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S!

The shoot took place at the HOME PLACE Park in Ary and we were lucky enough to shoot inside one of the log homes. It was FILLED with antique/ vintage finds galore!

One of the many items Jami brought to the session.. her favorite was this little boy figurine. It reminded her of what men used to be like. Gentleman and well dressed. Chris is her ‘gentleman’. Always thinking of her needs above all else.

Are these husband and wife books hilarious?

They love old book, old things.

Chris wanted to incorporate several of books authored by his grandfather, Rufus into the session. The ‘boy & girl’ pictured on the cover is so fitting.

The old is new again…it seem like. Vintage, antique, attic treasures are a few things Jami and Chris incorporated into their 50s THEMED shoot. When Jami mentioned there will be beaded purses, a bird cage veil, old hard bound books (among other nostalgic finds)… I knew this engagement session would be one of a kind! Here’s a sneak peek..

Oh yes… more to come : ) Have a happy Tuesday!

“She loves me unconditionally”… says Wes. Wes, of course is referring to Megan- the love of his life. She was the ‘beautiful blonde’ he met at friend’s home but were too bashful to strike up a conversation. Megan however noticed him a week prior at Applebee’s while dining with a girl friend. She KNEW she had to meet him then! Weeks passed… Wes decided to call and make his first move. Not expecting a call, Megan’s heart raced when he called for the first time. They hit it off from the first minute.. like old friends. They could talk about anything and everything. They were comfortable with each other and everything felt SO right. They recalled lovingly : )

Wes has no fear apparently, when he decided it was time to propose. It was Friday the 13th and it was their usual date night, on the couch watching 20/20. He joked that they should just elope and get married. Megan said OK! Let’s go. Without wasting a moment, he pulled out a ring, on his knees proposing for real. Megan said yes {again}! Surprised, smittened, excited all rolled into 1. Love how she looks at Wes….

They enjoy the simple things in life. Together, they are at ease doing every day things like watching tv and playing with their dogs. So, they decided to document their engagement at Buck’s Place in Leatherwood- a property belonging to Wes’ uncle. It was THE perfect setting for them. Totally quiet, natural, and a place they can go to enjoy each other’s company.

The property had everything!  A field, a tree, a pond, a dirt path, a boat! What could be more perfect?!

Have I mentioned how awesome this is? I can shoot here all day : ) Megan and Wes were brave enough to climb into the restored wooden boat for a few quick snaps.

Exactly a month from now, they will be Mr & Mrs.! I can’t wait for their romantic outdoor/ barn wedding : )

See you then : )

p.s. Yummy FILM images to come…
