There’s something special about engagement sessions. It’s more than just a warm-up for the wedding—it’s a chance to slow down, spend a little time together, and capture who a couple really is. I love that space where they get to be themselves: the quiet glances, the way he makes her laugh, the kind of moments that just unfold naturally when there’s no rush. Those are the things that stick with me.
Before you scroll through Jessica and TJ’s engagement photos, you should know a little of their story—because it’s a good one. And it’s theirs. Here’s how Jess put it:
“TJ and I were high school sweethearts. Actually, we were high school friends first, and didn’t start dating until after he left for college. Once he was gone, he invited himself to be my date to the high school winter dance—and that’s when ‘TJ and Jess’ really began.
When the fall came, I packed up for college too—hours away from him. We spent most of the first four years of our relationship apart, but it made us realize just how much we wanted to be together. After TJ graduated, he asked me to spend the rest of our lives together. I said yes. And now, we’re so ready for this next chapter.”
