It rained for 10 days straight leading up to their February engagement session and we thought for sure we were going to have to go with our backup plan, but somehow the clouds disappeared and the beautiful sun came out just hours before I meet up with Jay and Jasmine for the most beautiful engagement session! I’m totally obsessed with Jasmine’s golden yellow dress and the beautiful glowing light that finally came out with the stunning backdrop at Ellington Agricultural Center in Nashville, Tennessee. We spent the first half of their session on the nature path lined with a white farm fence at the edge of the horse pasture at Ellington. Then we walked down to the Sevenmile Creek for the last half of their session to capture those beautiful waterfront portraits at sunset. Some of my favorite portraits are the ones of Jay and Jasmine dancing by the water.

Why schedule an engagement session?
I love engagement sessions because it’s my chance to really get to know my couples I’m working with in a low pressure, fun atmosphere verses the busy, strict schedule of their wedding day. During these engagement sessions, we can take our time getting to know each other without having to be concerned with being on time for their wedding. We learn to work together and I teach them all the poses we will use on their wedding day. Together, we learn their favorite poses and make fun memories as they excitedly look forward to their big day. What we spend an hour learning and practicing at an engagement session, can be condensed into 15 minutes on your wedding day because after your engagement session, everything feels so familiar and my couples rock their wedding day portraits because they know exactly what to do! The more portrait time you give your wedding photographer on your wedding day, the better! But we all know that the wedding day timeline can easily get off track no matter how much you plan ahead, so having practiced all your portraits at an engagement session, we can capture some beautiful portraits in a short amount of time if things get crazy. My couples love feeling confident on their wedding day during their portrait time because they know first hand how awesome they are going to look because they already rocked their engagement session! The trust and confidence we build during an engagement is invaluable!
