We first chatted with Jennifer and Matt on the phone during the winter. They are planning their November wedding right now, and it’s taking place in the Smokey Mountains on a mountainside, in Tennessee. We hoped that we convinced them to let us tag along with them, because they were so much fun and we loved doing their Rockabilly Engagement Photography session at Goodells Park in Michigan this summer before they left.

The two of them share a common love for music. Matt is in an (officially unnamed) band, and has the coolest guitar that he brought along to their session. His all-black outfit looked a lot like Johnny Cash, and Jennifer summoned her very best June Carter impression, both in looks and some iconic poses/shots. Once we were finished in the park slash town part in Goodells, Jennifer changed clothes and we headed over to our favorite hidden gem spot for engagement photos in Michigan. The overlook and “cliff” really pays homage to their upcoming mountainside wedding, and we loved being able to match the scenery with that, as best as we could from flat-Michigan, 1500 miles away.

We love meeting couples and learning their stories, prior to their wedding days. It also gives them an opportunity to meet the two of us, and how we work and compliment each other- even standing side by side sometimes. The weather was awesome that day, too. It wasn’t too hot or too cold, and the sun was out in full force, throwing off some amazing rays of light on their love story engagement session.

We’d love the opportunity to meet you and your partner, if you’re in the market for some engagement photography. It usually doesn’t involve a themed session like this, but it’s certainly fun to highlight your common passions. We hope you enjoy this preview into their Rockabilly Engagement Photography session. Let’s all tell Jennifer and Matt that we’re the funnest girls who ever loved traveling to Tennessee, ever. *winky face*
