His proposal was quicker than expected. He just could not wait any longer. While a valentine engagement was not something he expected and possibly thought was a bit cliche, it ended up being the perfect timing. The church was studying commitment and he and the remainder of the worship band at church made a video speaking about commitment. The beginning of the video he walked into the church and the video then panned off and he physically walked into the church. He walked up on stage. Said a few words and while Jill was on stage with him he asked her to marry him. She was pleasantly VERY surprised and most definitely said yes! Along with just knowing and not being able to wait comes a short engagement, because when you know, why wait, ya know? :)

So the following is what we came up with for Will and Jill’s engagement session. A couple with mounds of character and spunk. I had SO much fun shooting this couple! Seriously, you two are fantastic and can not wait to share in your wedding at the end of this month!

You two are seriously presh!

I kinda love this bike. . .It was my mother-in-laws when she was a little girl. . .a little red vintage tandem schwinn. . .seriously kinda love this thing! Here are some pictures that our family photographer took of us earlier this year with this same bike.

Will and Jill found these initials on a random wall in downtown Chattanooga. The initials kinda spoke to them,

Did I mention you two are presh? Cuz you are!

These are some staches and lips that I made for a project that is taking way too long to launch, so had to use them on Will and Jill cause they can rock the stache and oversized red lips

See even Jill can rock a stache!

These two are like two grown up kids. They are responsible fabulous adults, but really know how to have a good time so on my way out the door to meet them I saw Ada’s chalk and thought ya know, W & J would totally go for some chalk…and they did.

After tromping around photographing in random spots of downtown Chattanooga we headed to Will’s place of employment, Southtree and I feel in love with this swanky joint.

Will and Jill say they were born a couple of decades late because they love old school and I love the props they brought to show just that. Vinyl records coupled with a vintage video camera and camera. . .yum!

Jill, you are flippin’ beautiful and have I told you enough how much I love the flower in your hair? Cuz I do! These two have some serious style!

Fun with cameras. . .yup, I love these two and their fabulousness!

I think this has to be my favorite of the day. . .Huge Canvas? I think so!

We started out our evening at the Chattanooga Choo Choo, where Alex did a surprise engagement & party with all of their close family and friends last year.

This is one of my favorites from the session.

The studly Alex and some killer solar flare

I love the way Rebecca laughs at Alex’s crazy verbal antics.

Rebecca you are b-e-u-tiful

You two are fantastic and your style is perfection!

In love with the way these two laugh at each other!

Rebecca the way you wrinkle up your nose at Alex. . .presh!

Alex is in Seth Medley Band so Rebecca definitely wanted a piano for the engagement session so Alex could show off some skills. Be sure to check out SMB!

You two are two flippin adorable! Love the reflection in the polished black piano

hot. . .

Rebecca, you truly are beautiful and I truly love your freckles!

Dear light. . .I love you!

beautiful? yes you are!

. . .and Rebecca, I have never been so envious of someone’s eyelashes

you bow tie Ales. . .love it!

Next we headed to the Walnut Street Bridge and had some more fun! I am going to turn off my fabo :) commentary from here and let the pictures do the talking from here :)

Alisha and Niko, I am so excited to document your upcoming wedding! Hope you love your slideshow…click HERE

P.S. A&N’s fabulous weim, Bruno made an appearance during the session and as a former weim owner I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this weimaraner is the most chill weim that anyone will EVER encounter.

Alisha, you are flippin’ gorgeous!

This next two pics are a great summary of their relationship. . .

I love how Alisha stands on her tippy toes to smooch her man. My man is a foot taller than me so I am required to do the same :)

Emily, I love how fierce you  can be! :)

…but most of the time you are showing off your big beautiful smile!

Love the light here

You two look so miniature compared to the vastness of the tall trees

Love your laugh and alot of laughing you two did do!

Love how peaceful. . .

So this is how Emily and Travis sat on their first date. . . They laughed as they accounted the events of that evening.

Love how these two are looking at each other here. I have a feeling these looks are exchanged frequently.

:)

Love the way Travis can make Emily smile and I love her smile here

And perhaps if there first date had been a football game instead of a drama series then they would have looked a little something like this. . .

Thanks you two and I am so looking forward to your wedding…SO soon!!! -brittany-

These two are over the top and I mean, in the good kind of way. Let’s just say that their engagement consisted of a room full of friends and family, a Valentine’s Day dinner, 15 roses individually delivered by separate special people, him singing to her, a poem and a partridge in a pear tree….and not to mention it was all a surprise!!!But, she was hooked way before the V-Day performance. The two met at church and both have a passion for wee ones. There will only be…oh I don’t know…forty or so that will be in attendance at their wedding. It was a van ride with said wee ones and non stop talk that led he and she to know that she and he would be together forever.

Can’t wait to photograph all the kiddos in just a couple of days oh yeah and you guys too :) Can’t believe we are two days away from your BIG DAY! Yay! Excited!

And yes, Jessica’s eyes are really that gorgeous and no I did not do one single thing to enhance them. Two words: God given. Two more: No FAIR : ) Ha!

Hope you enjoy your slideshow!!!

{sidenote: due to the compression of the pictures in the slideshow some look a bit “cartoonized”. Just know they are not like that in “real” life. Any computer whiz out there want to tell me what I am doing wrong? I will have to get with my web designer friend who is also launching my new site very very soon! Yip-a-dee!}

Sunflowers flanked the entrance way along with two little beauties soon to be flower girls. There was warmth in the air both in spirit and season. Upon her arrival she received a warm greeting and the room soon filled with her closest of friends. There was laughter and fun games involving toilet paper, banana bouquets and girlie accessories that scored extra points. A poem written haphazardly by her adoring friends described a fairy tale honeymoon in a fun little way. The food was delicious and the cake divine. The gathering concluded with a special time of prayer of blessings over the soon-to-be-married.

Yvonne and Becca D. you two throw a fabulous party! Becca M. I can’t believe the final countdown is here. Excited to share in your special day with you! Big Congrats in advance.

…so the sunflower pictured above certainly does not tell the whole story, so you will just have to watch the slideshow to see the rest.
