Black Dress Engagement Photos

The outfits Susan put together were PERFECTION—I mean a black dress for engagement photos?! How classy! When she sent me pictures of her ideas during her outfit consultation, I was SO excited because I knew they’d be perfect for the locations we chose! My favorite look she put together was her black dress paired with Matt’s black blazer & jeans! May hire her for all outfit consultations in the foreseeable future!

If I didn’t know a Southern Belle before, I do now. Her name’s Susan. 😍 ✨ 👗 This engagement session’s lighting was 🤌🏻 SO glad the rain AND clouds went away for them since they were traveling in from out-of-town. I was fully anticipating needing to reschedule! But, we were able to make magic happen! I mean, just look at the second half of our time together and see how well her black dress for engagement photos went against eh contrast of the white pillars! 🥲

After spending time with these two, it’s clear to Jimmy and me that their May wedding at The Woodlands at Howe Farms is going to be full of positive, upbeat vibes just like their engagement session was! Susan & Matt’s eyes lit up when they talked about sharing their Big Day with their bridal party and who was going to be there! So, if you’re in the bridal party and you’re reading this, we seriously can’t wait to meet you! 👏🏻

Susan & Matt, you’re rocking wedding planning! We hope that these previews of your engagement session get you even more excited and offer some fun in the midst of the craziness! We can’t wait to hang out with you guys again…hope you’re ready for me to pull out the “fries” joke! 😉
