I connected with Jordan just a few months before her wedding day. There was much excitement get an engagement session on the calendar. As the engagement session date drew near, we realized thunderstorms were in the forecast. I can photograph in the rain, but when thunderstorms are looming I usually reschedule the portraits. I suggested we move the session up an hour and maybe we could beat the storms. That extra hour definitely saved us.
I tailor my engagement sessions to the couple. My goal is to create meaningful photography to celebrate this special time. Jordan’s one request was a country field landscape. After an hour of photographing, we traveled to the open field for sunset portraits. A summer storm was beginning to form in the distance. We did not get the sunset pictures, but we achieved a dramatic yet fun look as the clouds were rolling into the field.
I am still humbled by clients who are so pleased with their photography collection. This couple’s flexibility and trusted in my work made the session enjoyable. Thank you, Jordan and Conner for your kind words. I’m so glad that I created the look you were hoping to achieve.

We were all by ourselves.
