When Jessie contacted me to document her downtown Nashville War Memorial engagement session, I couldn’t have been more excited. I absolutely love photographing engagement sessions in downtown Nashville, but there’s just something beautiful about War Memorial and the are surrounding the State Capitol building.
It’s dreamy, historic feel is perfect for timeless, romantic engagement photos. And we were so lucky that the February weather cooperated with us for their engagement session! These two were so much fun to be around, and I immediately could see their deep love for one another. Jessie is friends with another HOP engagement couple…remember Josh & Katie’s Surprise Downtown Nashville Proposal? Jessie and Katie were sorority sisters! I adore connections between clients of mine.
Jessie & Chantry first met over six years ago! After years together and long distance dating, Chantry decided it was time to make it official. And then he planned the most perfect NYC proposal this past December (in Bryant Park’s Christmas Village after grabbing some macrons!) I mean, come on! Does it get any dreamier than that?
I just know these two will continue to create incredible memories together as they plan their perfect 2021 spring wedding! Congratulations, Jessie & Chantry!
