The Engagement

Lizzie and Paul are one of the coolest couples I’ve worked with. Their engagement story is a little unconventional, which is something I can appreciate. Lizzie is a progressive lady. Her and Paul did not feel compelled to follow the standard tradition when it comes to the guy proposing down on one knee. Instead of letting the future-groom decide when the right time to get engaged would be, they had a conversation about it, and decided to skip the engagement ring and buy a new Jeep for them both instead!

Moreover, I really enjoyed getting to know them as a couple. Shooting their engagement photos was a breeze because they are so easy to get along with and they definitely know how to enjoy life together. They told me all about projects they’re working on together like repurposing old furniture for their house, cooking and wood working.
Thank you for such a great time Lizzie and Paul and thanks for allowing to photograph this beautiful New Orleans Engagement session! Congrats guys and I cannot wait until the wedding. The wedding will take place in a few months at the gorgeous The Columns Hotel located on Saint Charles Avenue just 5 minutes from the French Quarter.
