A Spring Hill College Engagement Session

Golden Hour on the Avenue of the Oaks is such a DREAM! You can tell summer weather is on the way, but on the evening that I met up with Caroline and Buddy for their engagement session, it wasn’t quite so hot and humid. The weather was glorious and it had me wishing our entire summer would feel so mild.

Caroline and I have crossed paths several times, including when I photographed her brother’s wedding last fall. Fun fact, I also photographed Buddy’s sister’s wedding back in 2023! I love weddings that allow me to work with a family that I’ve worked with before. Buddy’s dad was my high school theology teacher at McGill-Toolen Catholic. During this session it hit me that I remember when Buddy was born. Yes, that made me feel old, but it also made me smile because who would have ever thought that all these years later this is what I’d be doing with my life and that I’d be preserving memories for a family that I’ve known for so long. Preserving memories for future generations is truly the best part of my job and it’s what I love most about photography (even though I also geek out over beautiful light)!

In her professional life, Caroline frequently works with photographers on photoshoots, so she knows a thing or two about good lighting, location choice and composition. I love that she shared with me that she has a thing for intentional blur in images. While this is not my typical style, I was happy to collaborate with her on a few motion filled images…she had the perfect dress for it! It’s always extra fun to work with a bride who also works in a creative field. It’s like having a special language that we both speak.

I have no doubt that wedding day with these two is going to be amazing! I’m already counting down the days to the fall season! Enjoy my favorites from Caroline and Buddy’s session.
