Meet Jess and Blake. There are so many things I love about this couple! From the first time we met, I felt like we had been friends for ages. Especially Jess. We share a lot in common, she’s from New England. I lived in New England for many years. She’s Italian. I’m married to an Italian. We instantly understood each other, share common family and New England traditions and both miss the north in the Fall! Jess has a great sense of humor and I adored the chemistry she and Blake have. He’s a 6’4″ Texan (can you say football player?!) Jess is all Tiffany’s and city style, probably 5’2″ with heels. But in every way these two are a match. They compliment one another, understand each other and spent years being friends before they fell in love. And oh… are these two in love!
We set off in early October and headed up to Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. Jess and I discussed engagement locations and we both wanted something epic… that spoke to who they were as a couple. Nature meets City. So in bright sun and on mountains high, they kissed, laughed and played… while I was completely in my element. Here’s their engagement session.
Happy engagement, you two! I can’t wait to photograph your wedding at The Milestone Aubrey next year.
With love and gratitude,
Kate
