Haley + Jordan: An Uptown New Orleans Engagement | Louisiana Engagement Photographer

"I'm not sure about what to do in front of the camera, but we love New Orleans and we laugh a lot." That's what Haley told me during the planning phase of her session--and it was true. From the moment I pulled the camera out, the way Jordan comforted her nerves and made her giggle, left me with so much excitement that these two are planning to spend their lives together. And as I've said before, there's not much more beautiful in this world than a smiling woman. So sleek, these two--bow ties, blazers, leather. You know I was about it.

We kept Haley and Jordan's session in Uptown New Orleans--all with colors and atmosphere that meshed so perfectly with their outfits and personalities. I wanted the session to have a classic New Orleans feel, without the hustle and bustle of the touristy sections, and I don't think we could have found better nooks and crannies than these off of Magazine Street.

I loved all of the photos from their session, but I felt myself especially drawn to these black and whites. Haley just looks so carefree and genuinely happy--safe with Jordan.

Haley and Jordan, thank you for the opportunity to document such a monumental start of life together for you two. You will be so stunning all in white on the beach in May.

A Christmas Tree Farm Engagement | Tulle Skirts & Flannel Shirts: Megan + Jordan

As she walked out of the car in her flannel outfit, I complimented her on her stunning brown boots. She replied, "Jordan picked them out for me for Christmas last year." After having spent some time with them already, I believed every bit of that statement was true. These two have a respect and nurturing affection for one another in the most refreshing of ways. Gentle, kind, and so clearly ready to spend the rest of their lives with no one else but one another. Megan and Jordan's engagement sesh has me giddy as all get out for their wedding day. Seeing the fabulous eye Megan has for pairing outfits and details, I know the wedding day she has in mind will be absolutely picture perfect. Between the fun we had trailing around the Christmas tree lot and the festive love these two have for this time of year, I just couldn't.....even.

Jordan's nurturing tendencies towards Megan truly left me in awe--as did her radiant, bright personality.

Jordan dabbles in a little guitar and brewing his own beer, so we had a little pow wow among brews and tunes in the middle of a field at sunset. Be jealous.

And in case you thought you couldn't love these two more, meet the most perfect holiday outfits I ever did see. Crunchy leaves and tulle skirts, I'm pretty sure there's a spot like this in Heaven.

Soft kisses, dances in abandoned lots, and newsboy caps--my holiday heart is so very full.

Megan and Jordan, I could not adore you two more. I absolutely cannot wait to witness your vows to spend the rest of your lives together.
