Mark + Jen : Engaged

An antique store they frequent…their favorite coffee shop…the bar where they had their first date…the sidewalk where they shared their first kiss.  These are the places Jen and Mark wanted to take their engagement photos.  They may not be the most picturesque backgrounds.  But they meant something.  Special.  These spots were unique…just like them.  As we walked around from spot to spot, they told me the story of their first date.  And their first kiss.  They told me about how they stood outside their cars strategically delaying the inevitable goodnight.  How Jen waited…and waited for Mark to finally kiss her.  And he did.  Without knowing that would be his last first kiss.  And the first one of the rest of his life.

 

When I think about Jen and Mark…one of a kind comes to mind.  They fit together perfectly in every way yet they each are as individual as they come.  Everything about them…including their wedding…is absolutely original.  And I love that about them. Without further adieu…Mark and Jen…

    Love the set and I love to see couples go someplace that is special just to them for their engagement photo session. I’ll have my own session in an antique book and record (vinyl that is) store coming up in a couple weeks. I found your photo on wedding gawker. It’s a great place for inspiration.ReplyCancel
