Jordan and Emily | {Beautiful Couple}
Early in November, I had the pleasure of meeting this couple, Jordan and Emily. We had communicated through email for a couple of months about the session…the date and details…and when the date finally came, I was excited to meet them. These two are both college students at Western Washington State University, although they met in high school and have been dating for over three years. We were fortunate to have a dry day with plenty of sunshine…which is not always the case around here that time of year…although it was QUITE chilly! Emily popped out of the truck with this great little black dress…and I asked if she wanted to bring a sweater or jacket to wear between shots…she said no…she would be fine! Of course, it gave her a great excuse to snuggle up with Jordan during many of the shots and I quickly learned just how special these two are! I LOVED getting to know them, learning about their courtship and relationship and just how much family means to both of them. It’s remarkable to see a young couple with such great values and a strong relationship…and goals and plans for their future…oh, how much I was enjoying the session and watching these two young people, so much in love and so grounded!! Now, you might wonder why this is being posted nearly two months after their session, well, the photos were a surprise for their families for Christmas, so the blog had to wait until now…right after Christmas! Emily and Jordan both said they wanted a blog, so I promised them it would go up, after the gifts were given…and to be honest, it has been killing me to NOT share these photos…because these two were SO darn cute, I was dying to share these with all of you! So here goes…an adorable and sweet couple, who I absolutely loved photographing and getting to know…
Didn’t I tell you…they ARE adorable!!!Snuggling was definitely a theme of the session for these two…and not just because it was cold!Both Jordan and Emily are incredible people, students and hearing about all their ideas and plans for the future…it was so refreshing!!It was obvious these two have quite a connection…the way they looked at one another…melted my heart!!There was plenty of laughing, giggling and red cheeks during the session…part of it was at Jordan’s expense as I asked about how they met and about their first date…it may not have been perfect, but he did something right because here they are, three years later…the cutest couple who obviously have a wonderful and loving relationship!
And there was some kissing to go along with the snuggling!!It’s the littlest things that mean the most…Their first date was at the waterfront in Tacoma…so it seemed like the perfect spot for the session…many fond memories…and more to come!We had tons of fun during the session and when I asked if they wanted to jump…there was no hesitation…they were game for anything and laughed and smiled through it all!Emily and Jordan…you to are the CUTEST and I loved spending some time with you on this chilly fall afternoon. I hope to get to know you both more and follow your lives together and all the great experiences and adventures that lie ahead for the two of you! I know that there are GREAT things waiting for you! My best to you for a very Happy New Year!!
