A Grand Hotel Engagement Session

They were boarding a plane for a trip to Tampa when the flight attendant informed Jordyn and John there was no more space for carryons in the overhead bins. Jordyn thought John seemed a little stressed about not being able to take his bag on the plane, but she didn’t realize that was because he was carrying an engagement ring in his luggage! Thankfully, there turned out to be room for their bags on board. John didn’t have to reveal the surprise in the middle of the airport.

On the last day of their trip, John proposed to Jordyn on the riverwalk. The trip that was originally planned as a birthday gift for John turned out to be a surprise for Jordyn! She said she wasn’t thinking he would propose at that moment. I love when a guy is able to pull off a proposal surprise! Stories like this one always make me smile.

I met up with Jordyn and John at the Grand Hotel in Point Clear, Ala. This is where they’ll have their wedding reception next spring and I loved getting to show them parts of the property they weren’t familiar with. There are so many pretty settings at the Grand Hotel and it’s impossible to get to all of them on a wedding day. As we meandered around the property, I enjoyed getting to know these two and chat with them a bit about their wedding day. Right now spring 2023 seems pretty far off, but I just know I’ll blink my eyes and it will be here before we know it!

I feel like the day of this session may have been the last of the low humidity days we’ll see for a while! Y’all, summer is right around the corner!
