Brent and Jezire first met at a local pub in Las Cruces, New Mexico while Jezire was attending graduate school. They were both out with friends and just happened to run into each other. And before they knew it, as the night was ending, Brent was in search of Jezire to ask for her phone number.
It was so much styling this orchard engagement session and it would not have been possible without our good friend Allison at Our Vintage Love. If you’re getting married and in the area, she has amazing vintage goodness for rent!
December of last year, Brent decided to pop the question on their trip to Washington D.C. to see his sister. They both decided to play dress up and go out on a date that cold December night. Little did Jezire know that Brent had a plan all along. After a wonderful dinner, Brent suggested that they check out some monuments at night but Jezire wasn’t too keen about the idea since it was cold and walking too much on high heels just wouldn’t be too fun.
They compromised and decided to just visit the Lincoln Memorial, which turns out was Brent’s intended destination. They climbed the stairs, took a quick look at the reflecting pool and turned to ask a teenage girl to snap a photo of them. As Jezire walked up to the monument, Brent turned back to the girl and said “Please take a lot of pictures, I am about to ask this girl to marry me!” Brent then walked toward Jezire, got down on one knee, and proposed. Jezire responded like anyone who knows her would expect…“What are you doing!?!” To which Brent replied, “Are you going to answer the question?” Of course she said “YES!”.
We had the grandest time hanging out with Brent and Jezire. Their smiles and laughters are endless! These two definitely know how to cheer up a room. We can’t wait to shoot their Texas wedding later this year; we feel so honoured! Before you go, there’s more photos of this awesome couple! Don’t miss out on the slideshow on their Client Site!

Bonnie and Trevor have such a cute story about how they met. If you ask them to tell it, they’ll say that from the beginning they just “had chemistry.” But really they did! It was their second semester of college and Bonnie got paired up with a “cowboy” in chemistry lab. After seeing that smirk of his under a black cowboy hat she was hooked and this lab partner eventually turned into a real partner.
One day, Trevor took Bonnie out to dinner to a little Japanese restaurant. I love how Trevor popped the big question. Right before they were about to leave he got down on one knee and asked Bonnie, “Will you make me miserable for the rest of your life?” Lol, and she said “Yes!” of course.
I loved this session so much because the weather was perfect, the location was beautiful, and there was so much love between these two. ♥
I can’t stop looking through their photos. They look so great together! And it was so much fun strolling around in the fresh air as warm sun rays burst through the trees. Before you go, there’s more photos of this handsome couple! Don’t miss out on the slideshow on their Client Site!

Have you met a couple who’s just so much fun to be around with? Even if you’re just watching from a distance? That’s how we felt shooting Brent & Jezire’s e-session. They just share so much love and laughter that it lights up the whole entire orchard, or farm for that matter. I swear we could have photographed these two the whole entire day and never get tired of them. We can’t wait to shoot their wedding in San Antonio, Texas late this year! Here’s a sneak peek of their e-session that we shot this past weekend. Hit ‘Like’ or leave some love and be sure to stop back in a couple of weeks for their full session!
Huge thanks to Our Vintage Love for renting out the props to us. And I adore Jezire’s beautifully manicured nails below. And her ring is just so gorgeous! ♥

Yay it’s finally Friday! And we have an adorable engagement to share before jumping into the weekend. Gary and Daniella both love the outdoors. Daniella loves spending time at the lake in the summer and Gary proudly helps out on his family farm and likes fishing in the farm pond. Getting to know them, I can tell that they are one of those couples that perfectly balance each other out. Daniella is very outgoing but Gary is more quiet and thoughtful and yet together they find a happy middle. We met up with Gary and Daniella at Daniella’s family farm just outside of Perry, OK.
I want to thank Daniella’s family for being so welcoming and giving us a grand tour of their land. It’s always such a treat to head out of town and get a healthy dose of fresh air. It was truly a pleasant afternoon and I love Daniella’s bubbly positive attitude and Gary is such a humble gentleman!
Gary and Daniella are both very family-oriented. So one Sunday they planned out a brunch in Shawnee, OK so that both their parents could come and they could all eat together. Once they got home they started talking about home projects they were working on. Gary waited until Daniella was distracted with their discussion, and when she turned back around she found Gary on one knee holding out a sparkling engagement ring! She said “Yes” of course! And spent the evening calling family and friends before it got leaked onto Facebook.
We heard there was a lovely lake and park area nearby so we headed out to do some exploring. I think it’s so neat that we are continually learning and discovering so many hidden treasures like CCC Lake and Park. And I love couples like Gary and Daniella who are adventureous and ready to walk out on precarious walls and ledges. It definitely makes the shoot fun!
We loved shooting this couple because they are so kind and carefree. And it was so much fun strolling around and exploring this park together with them. Before you go, there’s more photos! So don’t miss out on the slideshow on their Client Site!

Sneak peek time! This past weekend we headed just outside of town to beautiful Lake McMurtry. It was so much fun just enjoying the newly leafed out trees and warm sunny weather. I still can’t get over how photogenic Trevor and Bonnie are! We couldn’t have asked for better weather or a more perfect couple. I can’t wait to show you the rest of the photos so make sure to come back in a couple weeks for the full post!

Happy Tuesday friends! We love the character and vibe and Tulsa, and we love the kindness and laid-back attitude of Charles and Sarah. So it was a real treat putting it all together for a carefree e-session. We started off at the downtown side of the riverwalk area and crossed the bridge with their adorable Australian shepherd Sassy!
These two lovebirds first met at a game night turned bible study and they’ve been inseparable ever since. And from the beginning their faith has been a large part in strengthening their relationship.
It was so much fun hearing Charles tell the story of how he proposed to Sarah. It was obvious that he wanted it to be perfect. So Charles took Sarah out to dinner on their 1 year anniversary. And from the beginning of the evening he was ready with the ring that he designed himself. And though the dinner was great it wasn’t the right moment. So Charles picked up a Redbox movie to cozy up and watch in their living room. Once the movie ended they took Sassy outside to play for a bit and Charles waited for Sarah to get distracted. He said that he got nervous for a second because he was struggling to get the ring out of his pocket! But in the end he was able to get down on one knee just in time for when she turned back around. And once she saw the box aglow (it had a light) with a dazzling ring inside, she said “Yes!”
Charles is actually a talented guitarist and leads worship at their church. So when we reached the outdoor amphitheater along the lakefront he decided to take it out to serenade Sarah. And he even taught her some chords and they played together, literally! with Charles on the frets and Sarah strumming. They are so cute!
I love how these two just ooze LOVE. The way that they look at each other and how they can make each other laugh is so heart-warming. ♥
We loved shooting this couple because they are so sweet to each other and their dog Sassy is so adorable. And it was so much fun strolling around their favorite spots in Tulsa. Before you go, there’s more photos! So don’t miss out on their slideshow on their Client Site!

Happy hump day friends! We have an adorable engagement shoot to share that’ll take you through the rest of the week with a smile on your face. Robby and Callie are such a cute couple and they love the atmosphere of downtown Enid and have many fond memories at the Ballpark.
These two lovebirds first met during their senior year of high school and have been inseparable ever since. And recently, just this past January, Robby decided it was time to pop the question! While Callie was out and being distracted by a friend, Robby put together a heartfelt welcome for when she came back. As soon as Callie walked in the door she found a trail of notecards on the floor. Each card, lit by a candle, was a memory they shared. Together, they created a timeline and that lead through the house to…Robby knelt on one knee! How sweet! ♥ He asked and she said yes of course!
I do see why they love the downtown area so much. The buildings have so much character and it’s so pleasant simply walking around. After soaking up the town we heading down some railroad tracks on our way to the Ballpark!
We’re so excited about this shoot because it’s our first e-session in an actual ballpark! I love the look and feel of David Allen Memorial Ballpark in Enid, OK. They really built it to reflect the timelessness of baseball. And since Callie used to watch Robby play while he attended NOC, it brings back many fond memories for them.
We loved shooting this couple so much because they are so kind-hearted and genuine. ♥ And it was such a treat getting a ballpark all to ourselves. Make sure to head on over to the slideshow on their Client Site and enjoy the rest of your week!

Yay it’s Friday! And we have a peek at one more engagement to share before jumping into the weekend. This past weekend we met up with Gary and Daniella at Daniella’s family farm before heading off to a nearby park. We were all pretty new to the park, so it was so much fun exploring it together. And it’s always a treat photographing a couple that is obviously so perfect together. Be sure to stop back in a couple of weeks for their full e-session!

Sneeeeeak peek time! Charles and Sarah’s e-session was one of those lovely afternoons where all you want to do is stroll, relax, and just waste the day away. How wonderful it was that their adorable dog, Sassy, tagged along with them. So cute! And Sassy’s not bad either ;). Charles & Sarah’s love is just so genuine and sweet! ♥ So take a peek and I hope these two can cheer up your Wednesday morning. Make sure to stop back in a couple of weeks for their full e-session.
