As promised in an earlier blog, posted below are images from my wedding engagement photography session with Kathryn and Jordan. I was privileged to be able to spend a beautiful, casual afternoon sharing some special moments with this happy couple. The warm temperatures of a Mississippi March combined with fantastic late-afternoon light gave us perfect conditions for our photo shoot. I hope we are equally fortunate for their wedding photography on the big day in July.

Our session began on the Ole Miss campus where Jordan proposed to Kathryn a few months ago. In the University's historic Grove, famous for hosting thousands of tailgaters on game days, we were able to locate the exact table where they sat together for the proposal. We snapped a few portraits there and then progressed to Memory House, a beautiful, pre-Civil War-era home that currently houses the offices of The University of Mississippi Foundation.

From there, we moved on to Oxford's commercial district--the Square. After a quick change, we captured the couple enjoying each other's company at some of Oxford's renowned landmarks: Square Books, Faulkner Alley, and the British-style telephone booth at City Hall. Walking to our next setting, the Church of Christ, we noticed a bed of tulips. One of us may or may not have picked one of these city-planted tulips to use in the shot below.

As the sun began to sink low in the sky, our session closed at Rowan Oak, home of the world famous Oxford-based writer, William Faulkner, whose classic works include The Sound and the Fury (which was recently released as a major motion picture directed by James Franco); The Long, Hot Summer; As I Lay Dying; The Big Sleep and many more.
