Oliver & Adora's Downtown Jackson Winter Engagment

This time last week, I was getting ready for bed knowing that there would be snow on the ground when I woke up! We only ended up getting about two inches, but it was still nice to have a few days of real winter. I had Adora and Oliver's engagement session scheduled for Saturday, and luckily the snow had melted just enough for us to get out. We had to skate over ice patches during the shoot, but we finished up with no incidents! We had a lot of fun meandering through downtown Jackson looking for good spots, and I am so glad we got a few with the snow on the ground, since that doesn't happen much around here. 

Here are some of my favorites from their shoot:

Her eyes are so gorgeous!  

They are both so easy-going and fun! I can't wait for their wedding this May.

Jeff & Emily's Snowy Engagement Session at Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park Memphis

I was so so so excited when Emily contacted me a few weeks ago about shooting her wedding. She and I were on yearbook staff together in high school, and I hadn't seen her in years. We used to have so much fun on staff! Those days seem so long ago, and now we're all grown up. And she's getting married! It was great to meet Jeff too, and they are so great together.

We set a date for the engagement shoot and planned to meet at Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park near Memphis. Little did we know if was going to snow a few days before. It turned out to be perfect because the roads were clear, but the park is wooded so there was still plenty of snow! I honestly could have stayed out there and shot for hours, especially if I had been wearing proper footwear. Suede flat shoes don't work well in the cold, wet snow, just FYI.

Aren't they adorable?! They are so sweet together, and I barely had to tell them what to do. I love when couples interact so naturally. We went out for coffee after the shoot to warm up and talk about wedding details. It was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Hope you guys enjoyed the photos :) I took a few film shots as well, so I'm excited to get those back. It's rare that I get to shoot in the snow here in West Tennessee!
