After a summer filled with weddings, I am happy to get back to some engagement sessions! I had the most perfect session with John and Carlie yesterday evening. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Jenny, you think every session is perfect.” You’re right, I do! But when you mix professional dancers with stunning architecture and dreamy light, the combination gives you sheer perfection.
A little backstory here, I was selected for a bridal showcase in the Spring and met some lovely couples there. John and Carlie were one of them! There were a few things that stood out to me about them. First, they were living in New York but trying to plan a wedding in KC. Second, they had a large portion of their family with them. Third, Carlie’s hair. (You’ll understand when you see the pictures…it is also perfect!!) When they walked away after we chatted I immediately put their names in my phone. It read: “Carlie. John. New York. Cute Couple.” I crossed my fingers and hoped they would call or write. They did! Within a week we were all set to go. Since then they have moved back to KC and are living on quite possibly the prettiest street I’ve seen in a long time. There was no question where we were going to take their photos. Plus, they somehow chose the second-coldest August on record in 130 years, which means the weather was gorgeous.
If that wasn’t enough to convince you that this session was perfect, then let me give you one more. I didn’t want to leave. We had so much fun talking and walking the city that I could have easily got distracted and stayed there the whole evening. That tells me we are the perfect fit!! I can’t wait to see them and all the custom details they’ve got planned for their wedding day. It is only three months away, but it already feels like a long time for me to have to wait. I suppose we will all just have to enjoy some of our favorite photos from their engagement session until then!
