Lexy + Jacob's Styled Engagement Shoot
Pie anyone?!
When Lexy said they would love to do a styled engagement shoot I automatically pictured her and Jacob sitting at a table surrounded by the vibrant colors of pies and desserts laughing, flirting and showcasing their relationship! I’ve gotten to know Lexy and Jacob while planning their wedding and wanted to be sure to incorporate a few of their favorite things. Jacob loves Mexican Coka-cola and chocolate chip pecan pie, they were a must in their shoot!
As with any wedding or shoot the details are my thing! I knew Jacob was nervous about being in-front of the camera and with more details present he would have more to interact with, this ultimately made him more comfortable with Lexy and the engagement session, really letting their personalities and relationship shine through.
“Engagement photos were a necessary evil for Jacob and I. We knew we had to do them, but we were both nervous about looking awkward or too “posey.” So Sara told me about a styled shoot. She said it helps keep things natural and fun. And we said count us in!
Sara has been working with us on our wedding for the past few months so she already knew I like dark, moodier things. She let her creative magic take over from there. She gave us some ideas and then she ran wild designing the shoot.
We showed up ready to go and she gave us an experience. Our engagement photos tell a story because Sara was able to express herself through us. The results showcase Jacob and I exactly how we truly are. And that was the most important thing to us.
Jacob and I will be doing styled shoots from here on out! Thank you Sara for putting your detailed flare on this. Jacob and I appreciate you so much!”
