Windy + Romantic Newnan Square Engagement Photography Session – Alex + Jacob

I love hearing about how people meet. How love is found, kindled, and grown. For Alex and Jacob, they were matched in the Bumble app. And they knew right away that this was it.

Right away.

Love at first sight.

Sometimes, there are fairy tales in real life.

In a world where there is such divisiveness and hostility, it restores my soul to work with couples like these two. They are my people.

Love first. Everything else is second.

Isn’t that how it should be? All things in love?

With love, we can find and create kindness. Compassion. Understanding. Curiosity. A burning desire to make things work.
Even in the For Worse situations that we so often include in our marriage vows.

Alex found me after seeing Charlotte’s courthouse wedding on social media. They went to Life University together. Alex loved Charlotte’s wedding images. She loved the photographs we made in the Marietta Square walking around with buildings and cars in the backgrounds.

I love these small world connections.

Storms were looming on this Friday afternoon as I was driving down to Newnan to meet these two. I wasn’t sure that the rain would hold off. But it did. We were fortunate.

Instead, we were treated to blasts of wind that did lovely things with Alexandra’s hair. And dramatic skies for the end of our time together.

We left the Newnan Square and drove a few blocks away to a little park that had the most beautiful cherry tree that was in blossom.

Aren’t these two the sweetest? I adore their peaceful, yet almost fierce love for each other. It felt like there was this bubble surrounding them. Keeping them safe from the world. Protecting their relationship.

Perhaps that is the military aspect. It runs deep. Jacob comes from a line of Navy men. He’s in the Air Force. Whenever I’m with military couples, there is a different kind of quiet that surrounds them that is difficult to explain. It’s a safe zone that feels like no one else can intrude.

Alexandra + Jacob. Thank you for asking me to make your engagement photographs and to stop time for you in this part of your journey together. I’m wishing you all the best in married life!
